Answer 2

Do you still need help with this question?

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

It's my last one. :)

Answer 5

First, what class is this for?

Answer 6

Algebra 2a.

Answer 7

The hardest part about the question is the language (it uses the technical language of "linear programming")--but it's not too bad when you break it down. How far have you gotten with the question?

Answer 8

I haven't even started. I'm confused.

Answer 9

Which part has you confused?

Answer 10

like which is the equation and constraints?

Answer 11

First, can the city spend as much money as they want on the project?

Answer 12

I'm not sure. Maybe?

Answer 13

Well, look at the question...

Answer 14

I did...

Answer 15

What did it say?

Answer 16

Are you kidding me?
It has 2100 to spend on planting spruce trees and there's like 45,000 sq feet.

Answer 17

that's what it said...

Answer 18

Ok, so back to my initial question: Can the city spend an unlimited amount of money on the project?

Answer 19

no.

Answer 20

So how much do they have to spend?

Answer 21

$2,100.
No offense, but can you please stop asking me questions I already know the answer to? ._.

Answer 22

But you told me you didn't know your constraints... But now you have one-- all the trees you buy must cost $2100 (or less), right?

Answer 23

yeah..

Answer 24

And spruce trees cost $30 and and maple cost $40.

Answer 25

So here is constraint number 1:

\[$30S + $40M \le $2100\]

Answer 26

Now, are there any other constraints??

Answer 27

I don't think so,.

Answer 28

(Hint: Look at question...)

Answer 29

600 and 900?

Answer 30

Literally write out the first part of the question (the part before a, b, etc.).

Answer 31

The part that starts with "A city wants to..." and ends with "... for planting".

Answer 32

Yes, I know this is annoying but, frankly, it looks like I'm your only hope. So, yes, you will have to commit the bare minimum amount of effort for this problem...

Answer 33

excuse me?

Answer 34

If you would like to learn how to solve this problem then I'm willing to help. But I'm not just going to answer the question for you.

Answer 35

You aren't giving me the answers. You were helping me. And for the record, you're not my only hope. So, get over yourself.

Answer 36

Ok, ok. Sorry about that. I hope you had luck with the problem later...
