Answer: 48 sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.

You invest in a new play. The cost includes an overhead of $30,000, plus production costs of $2500 per performance. This means that the total cost of x sold out performances would be

2500x + 30000

A sold-out performance brings you $3125. This means that he total revenue from x sold out performances would be

3125x

To break even, cost = revenue

Therefore,

2500x + 30000 = 3125x

3125x - 2500x = 30000

625x = 30000

x = 30000/625

x = 48

What is the surface area of this figure?
disa [49]

Answer:

72 sq. mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Breaking this down, we have 2 right triangles with sides of 3, 4, and 5 miles, and 3 rectangles with dimensions 3 x 5, 4 x 5, and 5 x 5 miles. Remember that the area of a triangle is 1/2 x b x h , where b and h are the triangle's base and height. The base and height of the triangles at the bases of the figure are 3 and 4, so each triangle has an area of 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 1/2 x 12 = 6 sq. mi, or 6 + 6 = 12 sq. mi together.

Onto the rectangles, we can find their area by multiplying their length by their width. Since the width of these rectangles is the same for all three - 5 mi - we can make our lives a little easier and just "glue" the lengths together, giving us a longer rectangle with a length of 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 mi. Multiplying the two, we find the area of the rectangles to be 5 x 12 = 60 sq. mi.

Adding this area to the triangle's area gives us a total area of 12 + 60 = 72 sq. mi.

Given right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AC =16 and DC=5 what is the length of BC in the simplest ra
Nana76 [90]

The length of BC is 4 \sqrt{5}.

Solution:

Given ABC is a right triangle.

AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.

AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.

AC = 16 and DC = 5

<u>Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:</u>

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{BC}{DC}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{16}{x}=\frac{x}{5}$

Do cross multiplication.

\Rightarrow  16\times 5 = x\times x

\Rightarrow  80= x^2

\Rightarrow  16\times 5= x^2

Taking square root on both sides.

\Rightarrow  \sqrt{16\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}

\Rightarrow  \sqrt{4^2\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}

square and square roots get canceled, we get

\Rightarrow  4\sqrt{ 5} = x

The length of BC is 4 \sqrt{5}.

Seven cakes cost £2.10 how much do 10 cakes cost
Len [333]
Ten cakes costs $2.19 (pounds, but I don't have a pounds symbol on my computer) because if you divide $2.10 by seven you get $0.3, and if you add 3×0.3 (because we have seven, and we need to add three more to get ten) we get $0.9.
 
0.9+2.10=2.19

Question 1<br> 2 (4x - 1) + 6<br> Equivalent to what
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

2 (4x - 1) + 6 = 8x + 4 = 4(2x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (4x - 1) + 6

= (2*4x + 2*-1) + 6

= 8x - 2 + 6

= 8x + 4

= 4/(2x+1)
