Sales increase with a decrease in price.
Answer:
u = -5/9
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
-3(u + 2) = 5u - 1 + 5(2u + 1)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>u</u></em>
- Distribute: -3u - 6 = 5u - 1 + 10u + 5
- Combine like terms: -3u - 6 = 15u + 4
- Add 3u to both sides: -6 = 18u + 4
- Subtract 4 on both sides: -10 = 18u
- Divide 18 on both sides: -10/18 = u
- Simplify: -5/9 = u
- Rewrite: u = -5/9
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in u into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>u</em>: -3(-5/9 + 2) = 5(-5/9) - 1 + 5(2(-5/9) + 1)
- Multiply: -3(-5/9 + 2) = -25/9 - 1 + 5(-10/9 + 1)
- Add: -3(13/9) = -25/9 - 1 + 5(-1/9)
- Multiply: -13/3 = -25/9 - 1 - 5/9
- Subtract: -13/3 = -34/9 - 5/9
- Subtract: -13/3 = -13/3
Here we see that -13/3 does indeed equal -13/3.
∴ u = -5/9 is a solution of the equation.
If you find the discriminant it will tell you the number and types of roots. The discriminant is the value b^2 -4ac.
a = 1
b = 1
c = 1
1^2 - 4*1*1
1-4 = -3
Since this is a negative number there will be 2 complex roots.
X+y = 12
x-y = 3
x = 3+y
Substitute it in 1st equation,
3+y+y=12
2y = 9
y = 4.5
Substitute it in 1st eq.,
x = 12-4.5 = 7.5
So, the two numbers are 7.5 & 4.5
Hope this helps!
I’m sorry I usually drink water you can lose a lot of water while doing that . Try to not a lot maybe some crackers
