Answer: 84 = 8p - 1 (or $84 = $8p - $1, but it is usually put together like the first equation)

Step-by-step explanation: $84 is the break even point, so the equation must be able to come out to at least $84 if it is correct.

$84 in equation is break even

8p/$8p is the price per painting

-1/-$1 is the addition from the canvas

Answer: Hello mate!

We know that Xavier spent $84 on art supplies. For each painting, he spends $1 on the canvas and sells each paint for $8.

The proffit equation is:

Q(p) = ($8 -$1)p - $84 = $7p - $84

where p is the number of paintings that he sells.

If we want to obtain the number of paintings that he needs to sell in order to break even, we need to calculate:

Q(p) = 0 = $7p - $84

$7p = $84

p = 84/7 = 12

He needs to sell 12 paints to break even.

What is the growth factor associated with the following growth rate: 30% decrease

fenix001 [56]

Given:

Growth rate = 30% decrease

To find:

The growth factor associated with the given growth rate.

Solution:

The general exponential function is:

$y=a(1+r)^x$

$y=a(b)^x$

Where, a is the initial value, r is the growth rate in decimal and $b=1+r$ is the growth factor.

It is given that the growth rate is 30% decrease. So,

$r=-30\%$

$r=-\dfrac{30}{100}$

$r=-0.3$

Now,

$b=1+r$

$b=1+(-0.3)$

$b=1-0.3$

$b=0.7$

Therefore, the growth factor is 0.7.

Answer:

You need to find the x and y intercepts so...

The x intercept is (18,0) since x=18

The y intercept is (0,12) since y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Cover the y when you are finding the y intercept

Cover the x when you are finding the x intercept

8x/8

144/8

=18

12y/12

144/112

=12
