Set each expression from the parentheses equal to 0 separately like so:
Equation 1: x - 4 = 0
Equation 2: -5x + 1 = 0
Now for each equation solve for x!
Equation 1:
x +(- 4 + 4) = 0 + 4
x = 4
Equation 2:
-5x +( 1-1) = 0 - 1
-5x/ -5 = -1 / -5
x = 1/5
Check:
(4 - 4)(-5*4 + 1)
(0) (-20 + 1)
(0) (-19)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
(1/5 - 4)(-5 * 1/5 + 1)
(-19/5)(-1 + 1)
(-19/5)(0)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
smaller x = 1/5
larger x = 4
Hope this helped!
Answer:
200 pairs of sandals
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the sandals with x and the running shoes with y.
In a typical month:

In April

Required
The number of sandals in a typical month
<u>In a typical month:</u>
If 1 sandal costs 2.50, then x costs 2.50x
If 1 running shoe costs 4, then y costs 4y
The total is:

<u>In April:</u>
If 1 sandal costs 2.50, then 2x costs 5x ---- <em>we used 2x because the pairs is doubled </em>
If 1 running shoe costs 4, then y costs 4y
The total is:

The equations are:
