Daily profit, y, as a function of T-shirts sold, x, is
y = -10x² + 160x - 430

In order to generate $50 in daily profits, the number of T-shirts sold is determined by solving the equation
-10x² + 160x - 430 = 50

Divide through by -10.
x² - 16x + 43 = -5
x² - 16x + 48 = 0

Answer:
This quadratic equation can be solved by factorization.

Explanation:
Note that
48 = 4 x 12, and
4 + 12 = 16
Therefore
x² - 16x + 48 = (x - 4 )(x - 12 ) = 0
The solutions are
x - 4 = 0  => x = 4, and
x - 12 = 0  => x = 12

Replace y in the equation with 50: (50 = -10x2 +160x - 430) Use factoring to solve the equation. After writing the equation in standard form and dividing each side by -10, it is easy to factor as 0 = (x - 4)(x - 12).

You have D dollars to buy fence to enclose a rectangular plot of land (see figure at right). The fence for the top and bottom co
alex41 [277]

The perimeter of the rectangular plot of land is given by the expression below

P=2x+2y

On the other hand, since the available money to buy fence is D dollars,

\begin{gathered} D=4(2x)+3(2y) \\ \Rightarrow D=8x+6y \\ D\rightarrow\text{ constant} \end{gathered}

Furthermore, the area of the enclosed land is given by

A=xy

Solving the second equation for x,

\begin{gathered} D=8x+6y \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6y}{8} \end{gathered}

Substituting into the equation for the area,

\begin{gathered} A=(\frac{D-6y}{8})y \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{D}{8}y-\frac{3}{4}y^2 \end{gathered}

To find the maximum possible area, solve A'(y)=0, as shown below

\begin{gathered} A^{\prime}(y)=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{D}{8}-\frac{3}{2}y=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{3}{2}y=\frac{D}{8} \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{D}{12} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the corresponding value of x is

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{D}{12} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6(\frac{D}{12})}{8}=\frac{D-\frac{D}{2}}{8}=\frac{D}{16} \end{gathered}<h2>Thus, the dimensions of the fence that maximize the area are x=D/16 and y=D/12.</h2><h2>As for the used money,</h2>\begin{gathered} top,bottom:\frac{8D}{16}=\frac{D}{2} \\ Sides:\frac{6D}{12}=\frac{D}{2} \end{gathered}<h2>Half the money was used for the top and the bottom, while the other half was used for the sides.</h2>

Given : 11x – 6y = –1; x = 8
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

B. a. Given; b. Substitution Property; c. Subtraction Property of Equality; d. Division Property of Equality; e. Symmetric Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression,

11x - 6y = -1; x = 8

By substituting x = 8,

11(8) - 6y = -1

88 - 6y =-1

By subtraction property of equality,

-6y = -89

Division property of equality,

y = \frac{89}{6}

By symmetric property of equality,

\frac{89}{6} = y
