Let N be the number of items sold and p the price. 
Since the variation is inverse, then the relation between N and p is:
N=k\dfrac{1}{p}
For N=20000 and p = $9.5, we get the formula:
 20000=k\dfrac{1}{9.5}\\p=20000\times9.5=190000
If p = 8.75, then the number of items sold can be computed using the formula:
N= 190000\dfrac{1}{8.75}=21714 \text{ total items}

15x+12(10-x)=141<br>make sure to use steps to solve!​
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation: First you distribute the 12 to (10-x). That then gives you 15x+120-12x=141. Now you combine like terms. So you do 15x-12x=3x. Your new equation now is 3x+120=141. Subtract 120 from 141 and mark it out. That leaves you with 3x=21. Divide both sides by 3. Your final answer is x=7.

Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in​ point-slope form and general form. Passing through (8 comma negat
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The answer to your question is   y = -5x + 32          point-slope form

                                                      5x + y - 32 = 0      general form

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

(8, -8)

⊥ x - 5y - 6 = 0

Process

1.- Get the slope of the line given

   x - 5y - 6 = 0

   -5y = -x + 6

      y = -x/-5 + 6/-5

      y = x/5 - 6/5

slope = 1/5

slope of the new line -5, because the lines are perpendicular

2.- Get the equation of the new line

          y - y1 = m(x - x1)

          y + 8 = -5(x - 8)

          y + 8 = -5x + 40

          y = -5x + 40 - 8

         y = -5x + 32          point-slope form

Equal to zero to find the general form

         5x + y - 32 = 0      general form

Please help? <br> I don’t understand this
Brut [27]

Answer:

Please see the graph below

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is just selecting numbers for x and then solving for what y would be.  Once we have the ordered pairs (x,y)  We can graph the points and see the line.

If you use your office computer 40 hours per week, and do not unplug the computer when it is not in use, how much carbon dioxide
dangina [55]
If you use a laptop:  9.25; a desktop with a CRT monitor:  55.51; a desktop with an LCD monitor:  46.26.

A laptop that is plugged up and turned off uses 0.001kw/hr of energy.  Each kwh of energy produces, on average, 1.39 lbs of CO2.  There are 24*7=168 hours in the week; subtract the 40 hour work week from this and we have 128 hours a week for 52 weeks a year:
0.001*128*52=6.656*1.39=9.25.

A desktop that is plugged up and turned off uses 0.004kw/hr of energy.  A CRT monitor uses 0.002 kw/hr when turned off.  This means we have:
(0.004*128*52*1.39)+(0.002*128*52*1.39)=55.51.

For a desktop and an LCD monitor, which uses 0.001 kw/hr of energy, we have:
(0.004*128*52*139)+(0.001*128*52*1.39)=46.26.
