This question gives you information to make a system of equations, which you then use substitution to solve.
Let's solve this by substitution.
y is given by the 2nd eqn as y = (1/3)x + 7. Subst. (1/3)x + 7 into the first eqn as a replacement for y: x + 9( (1/3)x + 7) = 3.
clear out fractions by mult. all 3 terms by 3: 3x + 9x + 63 = 3
Combine like terms: 12x = -60. Then x = -5
Find y by subst. -5 for x in the 2nd equation: y = (1/3)(-5) + 7
= -5/3 + 35/3 = 30/3 = 10.
Thus, the solution (x,y) of this system is (-5,10).
I’m pretty sure this answer is B
Answer:
8 thousand dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
The company's annual profit (in thousands of dollars) as a function of the price of a bracelet (in dollars) is modeled by: P(x)=-2x^2+16x-24
To find maximum profit , we need to find out the vertex
x coordinate of vertex formula is -b/2a

a=-2 and b = 16

Now we plug in 4 for x and find out P(4)
= 8
So the maximum profit the company can earn is 8 thousand dollars when price = $4
