Well, we'll use the distributive property whenever x by itself is being added/subtracted to another number and a number is outside the parentheses :P.

3(x + 5) ------> 3 times x + 3 times 5 -----> 3x + 15.

2(x + 2) ------> 2 times x + 2 times 2 -----> 2x + 2

Now once you get all the variables on the left side of the equation and the positive numbers on the right side of the equation, x = 9. To check, just type this problem into an algebraic calculator and you'll get the same results! c:

A greeting card company can produce a box of cards for $7.50. If the initial investment by the company was $50,000, how many box
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

If cost of one box of card is $7.50 then the no of cards produced is 6667 cards and if cost of one box of card is $10.50 then the no of cards produced is 4762 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of one box of cards = $7.50

Initial investment = $50,000

No of box of cards produced = Initial investment / cost of one box of card

No of box of cards produced = 50,000/7.50

No of box of cards produced = 6667 cards.

if the cost of one box of cards is increased = $10.50

No of box of cards produced = Initial investment / cost of one box of card

No of box of cards produced = 50,000/10.50

No of box of cards produced = 4762 cards.

So, if cost of one box of card is $7.50 then the no of cards produced is 6667 cards and if cost of one box of card is $10.50 then the no of cards produced is 4762 cards
