An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 1 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refinery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 7 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $500,000/km over land to a point P on the north bank and $1,000,000/km under the river to the tanks. To minimize the cost of the pipeline, how far (in km) from the refinery should P be located?

No need to solve for y. The value of y is given. See it?

To find x, plug the given value of y into

4x - 3y = 18.

4x - 3(-2) = 18

4x + 6 = 18

4x = 18 - 6

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3

y = -2 and x = 3.

Understand?
