Given that the graph shows P as a function of n, we have:

a. The more hot dogs that is sold, his profit increases.

b. Jimmy sells the hot dog for $1 each.

c. Jimmy needs to sell 16 hot dogs to recover the $8 he invested.

d. He would make a profit of $7.

e. The number of hot dogs he needs to sell is: 20.

<h3>What is a Linear Function?</h3>

A linear  function is expressed as, y = mx + b, where y is a function of x, m is the unit rate, and b is the starting value or initial value of the function.

We are given that profit, P, is a function of the number of hot dogs sold, n.

a. The graph of the function slopes upwards, so this means that the more hot dogs that is sold, his profit increases.

b. Cost of 1 hot dog = Unit rate = change in y / change in x = 2 units/2 units

Cost of 1 hot dog = Unit rate = 1

Thus, Jimmy sells the hot dog for $1 each.

c. If you trace profit (P) on the graph when it is $8, the corresponding number of hot dogs, n, would be 16.

So, Jimmy needs to sell 16 hot dogs to recover the $8 he invested.

d. When n = 15, P, from the graph would be 7.

Thus, if Jimmy sells 15 hot dogs, he would make a profit of $7.

e. When P = 12, from the graph, the corresponding n value is 20.

Therefore for Jimmy to make $12, the number of hot dogs he needs to sell is: 20.

how is solving inequalities with addition and subtraction similar to and different from solving equations with addition and subt
SpyIntel [72]
That technique for solving equations is: Whatever you do to one side of the equation, you have to do to the other side to preserve the equality The technique for solving inequalities is: Whatever you do to one side of the inequality, you have to do to the other side to preserve the inequality. the techniques are the same. The difference between solving equations and solving inequalities is: If you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, then the inequality reverses. !!!!!

a survey asked 72 randomly chosen students if they were going to attend the school play. twelve said yes. if there are 210 ticke
Ugo [173]
We can solve this by setting up a proportion:

12 seeing the play/ 72 students = 210 seeing the play/ x students

We can cross multiply to solve for x:

(12)x=(72)(210)
12x=15,120
x=1,260 students who attend the school
