In this item, we are given with two expressions that are equated to each other.
A real life scenario is that there are two items in the store, one item, we name it as Item A, is initially sold at a price of $30. The other item, Item B, is initially sold at $40. Let's say that for every interested buyer of Item A, the price increases by $0.05. Also, for every interested buyer of Item B, the price increases by $0.01. Then, we find how many interested buyer should be there for each of the item for the Items to have the same price.
If we calculate the equation, 30 + 0.05x = 40 + 0.01x Transpose the like terms to one side of the equation and the constants to another. 0.04x = 10 x = 250
I added both days together and divided by 2 because there are two individuals working on 20 trees and divided equally it would be 10 and it would take 5 days because that’s half.
Answer: Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the slope-intercept form y=mx+b to find the line perpendicular to y=1/5x−1. y=−5x−17
