Jill is building a wooden-raised bed garden for her vegetables. She wants the frame to have dimensions x feet by x + 3 feet. If she wants the garden to have a maximum area of 50 square feet, what are the possible values of x?

x less than or equal to 16.6

Step-by-step explanation:

50 divided by 3 is 16.6

since Jill wants 50 square feet as the maximum area x can be less than 16.6.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

900 degrees
