As it appears to be the same thing on both sides so far wouldn't you think that it's 8?
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to multiply both sides of the equation by -6/5
-6/5 × (-5/6x) = -6/5 × -10/3
Then you need to calculate and reduce. First, you'll reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor, 6.
1/5 × 5x = -6/5 × (-10/3)
then reduce the greatest common divisor, 5
x = -6/5 × (-10/3)
Then multiply (multiplying two negatives equals a positive)
x = 6/5 × 10/3
reduce the greatest common divisor, 3
x = 2/5 × 10
reduce the greatest common divisor, 6
x = 2 × 2
x = 4
(i know this is confusing, sorry)
Given:
Cost to build a bookshelf = $20
Cost to build a table = $45
Amount available to spend = $600
Let x = number of bookshelves built.
Let y = number of tables built.
The total number of bookshelves and tables = 18.
Therefore
x + y = 18.
That is,
y = 18 - x (1)
The total amount available to build x bookshelves and y tables = $600. Therefore
20x + 45y = 600
That is (dividing through by 5),
4x + 9y = 120 (2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
4x + 9(18 - x) = 120
4x + 162 - 9x = 120
-5x = -42
x = 8.4
From (1),obtain
y = 18 - 8.4 = 9.6
Because we cannot have fractional bookshelves and tables, we shall test values of x=8, 9 and y=9,10 for profit
Note: The profit is $60 per bookshelf and $100 per table.
If x = 8, then y = 18-8 = 10.
The profit = 8*60 + 10*100 = $1480
If x = 9, then y = 18-9 = 9.
The profit = 9*60 + 9*100 = $1440
The choice of 8 bookshelves and 10 tables is more profitable.
Answer: 8 bookshelves and 10 tables.
Answer:
Graph 1 goes with the equation 
Graph 2 goes to the equation y = 
Graph 3 goes to the equation y = x + 10
