0.5(5-7x)=8-(4x+6)To start distribute the 0.5 and the negative to get 2.5-3.5x=8-4x-6 minus the 6 from the to get 2.5-3.5x=2-4x subtract the 2 from both sides (it doesn't matter what side you choose to leave the x on when you solve, you will still get the same answerI) to get 0.5-3.5x=-4x add the 3.5 to both sides to get 0.5=-7.5x divide by -7.5 to get x=-0.066666666
The answer is p(x) = 25x - 50 profit = total selling price- cost x = number of bowls he must sell to make a profit if he sell 1 bowl he will make a lost 2 bowls even up thus he must sells 3 bowls or more to make a profit
