There are seven people who each want half an ounce of brocolli. So, you multiply 1/2 by 7, which would be around 3 and 1/2. The actual number, will be 3 and 1/2 though as well.

Considere a função de oferta como sendo y= 5x - 1/2 e a função de demanda como sendo y= -7x + 47/2 , onde x é a quantidade e y é
swat32

A) Temos que igualar isso a 2,50, que é o valor de y, ou seja, o valor do preço. Façamos isso, então, na função de demanda.

y = -7x + \frac{47}{2}

Substituir.

2,50 = - 7x + \frac{47}{2}

Passar o que é x de um lado e o que é número do outro lado.

-7x  = - \frac{47}{2} + 2,50

A fração 47/2 corresponde a 23,5. É mais interessante para nós, nesse caso, utilizar o valor decimal.

-7x  = - 23,5 + 2,50

Somar logo.

-7x = -21

Podemos multiplicar por -1 para tirar os sinais negativos.

7x = 21

Passar o x dividindo

x = \frac{21}{7}

Dividir

\boxed{x = 3}

Para um preço de R$ 2,50, a quantidade demandada é de 3 unidades.



B) Basta igualar as duas formulinhas.

5x - \frac{1}{2} = -7x + \frac{47}{2}

Passar o que é x de um lado e o que é número do outro lado.

5x + 7x = \frac{47}{2} + \frac{1}{2}

Somar tudo. Como as frações têm o mesmo denominador, <u>nada de </u><u>mmc</u>! Basta somar os numeradores.

12x = \frac{48}{2}

Podemos dividir lá, olha:

12x = 24

Passar o x dividindo

x = \frac{24}{12}

Dividir

\boxed{x = 2}

O ponto de equilíbrio é o valor 2.



C) Basta, então, igualar as fórmulas da oferta e da demanda a 10.

Fórmula da oferta

10 = 5x - \frac{1}{2}

Passar o que é x de um lado e o que é número do outro lado.

5x = 10 - \frac{1}{2}

Se 1/2 = 0,5, dá pra resolver sem fazer mmc:

5x = 10 - 0,5

Subtrair

5x = 9,5

Passar dividindo

x = \frac{9,5}{5}

Dividir.

\boxed{x = 1,9}

Fórmula da demanda

10 = -7x + \frac{47}{2}

Passar o que é x de um lado e o que é número do outro lado.

-7x = \frac{47}{2} - 10

Divide 47/2, vai.

-7x = 23,5 - 10

Subtrair.

-7x = 13,5

Passar o 7 dividindo.

x = - \frac{13,5}{7}

Vamos dividir e transformar em decimal.

\boxed{x = -1,9285714285714285714285714285714}


Subtrair a oferta pela demanda.

x = 1,9 - (-1,9285714285714285714285714285714)

Subtrair.

\boxed{x = 3,8285714285714285714285714285714}

Arredondando, o preço será de R$ 3,83.

K is the midpoint of Line JL, JL=4x-2 and JK=7. find X
ipn [44]
X=4. If k is the midpoint then JK is equal to KL. Since JK is 7 then KL is also 7 meaning JK is 14. JK is represented by the expression 4x-2 so you just set that expression equal to 14 and solve for x. Hope this helped!

Which equation is correctly rewritten to solve for x?<br><br> x/r - s = t
wolverine [178]

Answer:

x = r(t + s)               (second option)

Step-by-step explanation:

First add s to both sides and get x/r = t + s.

Then mutiply both sides by r to separate x and this is the final equation:

x = r(t + s)

Complete the square for:<br> 2x² - 36x - 16<br> show work.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -8 = -8

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -8  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -18 .

     -8    +    1    =    -7

     -4    +    2    =    -2

     -2    +    4    =    2

     -1    +    8    =    7

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

 2 • (x2 - 18x - 8)
