Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2+ ( 2x+2)^2 = (2x+3)^2
FOIL the squared terms
x^2 +(4x^2 + 4x+4x+4) = 4x^2 + 6x+6x +9
Combine like terms
5x^2+8x +4 = 4x^2 +12x +9
Subtract 4x^2 +12x +9 from each side
5x^2+8x +4 -4x^2 -12x -9= 4x^2 +12x +9-4x^2 -12x -9
x^2 -4x -5 =0
Factor
(x-5) (x+1) = 0
Using the zero product property
x=5 x=-1
But x cannot be negative or we would have negative length
x=5
Answer: 48 sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.
You invest in a new play. The cost includes an overhead of $30,000, plus production costs of $2500 per performance. This means that the total cost of x sold out performances would be
2500x + 30000
A sold-out performance brings you $3125. This means that he total revenue from x sold out performances would be
3125x
To break even, cost = revenue
Therefore,
2500x + 30000 = 3125x
3125x - 2500x = 30000
625x = 30000
x = 30000/625
x = 48
Answer:
$15.19
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an equation
8.5% of 14 =
Convert percent into decimal:
8.5% = 0.085
"Of" means to multiply so multiply 0.085 to 14
0.085 x 14 = $1.19
14 + 1.19 = $15.19
4-3=1
1+8=9
The answer is 9
Plug 50 into y and find x.
5x + 10 (50) = 800
5x + 500 = 800
5x = 800 - 500
5x = 300
x = 300 ÷ 5
x = 60
