Person: Number of prints Total Cost
Shelby 5 2.70
Allen 11 3.24
Denise 20 4.05
To solve for the variable cost:
11 - 5 = 6
3.24 - 2.70 = 0.54
0.54 / 6 = 0.09 per print
To solve for the fixed cost
0.09 x 5 = 0.45
2.70 - 0.45 = 2.25
y = 2.25 + 0.09x
y = 2.25 + 0.09(5) = 2.25 + 0.45 = 2.70
y = 2.25 + 0.09(11) = 2.25 + 0.99 = 3.24
y = 2.25 + 0.09(20) = 2.25 + 1.8 = 4.05
2x multiplies to all numbers:
2x x 8x3 = 16x4
2x x 6x2 = 12x3
2x x -10x = -20x2
Answer: 16x4 + 12x³ - 20x²
Hope this helps :)
He will need 3 cups of water because 1/4 goes into 1 1/2 six times then you multiply the 1/2 for water by that number
Move the x’s to one side and the numbers to another
4x-3=2x-13
2x=-10
divide by 2
x=-5
