Question

Two chains of clothing stores, Impulse Clothing and Opal Essence, were founded in the same year, although some outlets of Opal Essence were operating under a different name before Opal Essence was founded. The owner of Impulse Clothing uses the equation below to represent the number of clothing stores, C, he owns x years after the brand's founding. C = 2x The owner of Opal Essence uses the equation below to represent the number of clothing stores, C, she owns x years after the original brand's founding. C = x + 5 Using graphing technology, complete the statements.

Answer 1

By combining the equations we can found that the number of impulse clothing and Opal essence stores by equations be C (3x+5)/2 where x is the number of years after the brand's founding.

Given The equation showing number of impulse clothing stores is C=2x. The equation showing number of clothing stores be C=x+5.

We have to first plot both the equations on the graph.

For plotting we need points which can be calculated as

C=2x

when x=1 ,C or y=2

when x=3 , C or y=6

C=x+5

when x=0 ,C or y=5

when x=1 ,C or y=6

By combining both equations we get

C=(3x+5)/2

Plot this also and finding points

when x=0  , C=5/2

when x=1 , C=4

Hence the combination of both statements which shows the total stores owned is C=(3x+5)/2
