If i am reading this question correctly it states "How many math assignments can he complete in 8 hours" leaving out the science assignments because it states he'd do them tomorrow its simple math. 8 divided by 2 which is 4 math assignments he can complete in 8 hours.

Answer: 4 exercises.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Gerald has 8 hours to complete a set of assignments if x is the number of math assignments and y is the number of physics assignments, we need to solve the equation:

2x + y = 8

Now, we know that Gerald decides to leave the science assignments for the next day, so on this first day we do not have physics assignments, which implies that y = 0

So now we have the equation 2x = 8

x = 8/2 = 4

x = 4

So we the maximum number that Gerald can complete in 8 hours is equal to 4 (in the situation in which he left the science assignments for the other day)

John sales model boats from a booth at a local fair. He purchases each model boat from a distributor for five dollars and the lo
poizon [28]

Answer and explanation:

Profit from sale of model boats = Sales -costs(costs of goods purchases + expenses or charges by the local fair)

John's profit from the sale of model boats can be represented by the equation:

P= 50x-(5x+80)

Where P is profit from the sale of the model boats and x is number of model boats bought and sold. The 80 is constant as it is a fixed cost paid to the local fair.

For example if John buys and sells 20 model boats, he would make profit of:

Substitute x=20 in equation above

P= 50×20-(5×20+80)

P=1000-180

P=$820

It could be said that John is in a very profitable business and his profit is also dependent on volume of sales because the lower his sales the closer he gets to making a loss and not profit
