5x=25
Because negative 3y and positive 3y got cancelled
The answer you want would be -120
b/c 200/5 is 40 so -3*40 is <em>-120</em>
250 lunches are produced by the small business in last week.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
It is given that,
- y ⇒ the average cost per week.
- x ⇒ the number of lunches produced per week.
The function relating these two factors x and y is given as y = 2.1x + 75
- The cost of the last week is y = $600.
- The lunches made last week is x = unknown.
<u>To find the value of x :</u>
Substitute y= 600 in the given function,
⇒ 600 = 2.1x + 75
⇒ 2.1x = 600 - 75
⇒ x = 525 / 2.1
⇒ x = 250
Therefore, the lunches prepared last week is 250.
