The student council at Livingston High School is making T-shirts to sell for a fundraiser, at a price of $16 apiece. The costs,

meanwhile, are $4 per shirt, plus a setup fee of $60. Selling a certain number of shirts will allow the student council to cover their costs. How many shirts must be sold?

Answer:

5 shirts must be sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up the equation. Each shirt (x) is sold for $16:

For every amount (y) for x: (y)(x) = (16)(y)

The cost is $4, with the setup fee as $60.

(16)(y) = (4)(y) + 60

16y = 4y + 60

Isolate the variable (y). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, subtract 4y from both sides.

16y (-4y) = 4y (-4y) + 60

16y - 4y = 60

12y = 60

Next, isolate the variable (y). Divide 12 from both sides.

(12y)/12 = (60)/12

y = 60/12

y = 5

5 shirts must be sold.

To check, plug in 5 for y in the equation:

16y = 4y + 60

16(5) = 4(5) + 60

Simplify.

16(5) = 4(5) + 60

80 = 4(5) + 60

80 = 20 + 60

80 = 80 (True).

The equation that represents the relationship between the number of liters, x, and the number of liquid pints, y is y = 2.11x

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

The attached table of values represents the missing piece in the question.

Start by calculating the rate of change using:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

This gives

m = (14.77 - 10.55)/(7- 5)

Evaluate

m = 2.11

The equation is then calculated using:

y = m(x - x1) + y1

This gives

y = 2.11(x - 5) + 10.55

Evaluate

y = 2.11x - 10.55 + 10.55

y = 2.11x

Hence, the equation that represents the relationship between the number of liters, x, and the number of liquid pints, y is y = 2.11x

Which of the following represents the factored form of f(x) = x3 − 64x?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

x(x + 8)(x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x³ - 64x ← factor out x from each term

= x(x² - 64) ← x² - 64 is a difference of squares

= x(x + 8)(x - 8) ← in factored form
