They will make the same amount after 10 phones sold. Before that Plan A is the better plan. After 10, Plan B is the better plan. 

You can find the point of intersection by modelling the two equations and setting them equal to each other. If x is equal to phones sold:

250 + 25x = 50x
250 = 25x
10 = x

Therefore, you make the same at 10 phones.

Evaluate the expression when x=10, y=−2, and z=−5.
Vlad [161]

\frac{ -  {x}^{2} + 6z }{y}

if x=10 y=-2 and z=-5 then...

\frac{ { - 10}^{2}  + 6 \times  - 5}{ - 2}

we solve this to get...

<em>65</em>

therefore the answer to your question would be 65

hope this helped-have a good day bro cya)

(4x10^2) - (2x10^-1)
balandron [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCD here is 10.

Multiplying numerator and denominator of (4*10^2) by 10 results in:

40*10^3

-------------

     10

and rewriting (2x10^-1) with positive exponent in the denominator results in:

   2

---------

    10

So, before simplification, this difference comes out to be:

40000 - 2        39998            19999

----------------- = ---------------- or ------------

        10                   10                   5

yarga [219]
37 and 1/2 could mean:
37+ (1/2)
37 times 1/2



37+1/2=37 and 1/2 or 37.5

37 times 1/2=37/2=18 and 1/2=18.5

at maximum speed , an airplane travels 1680 miles against the wind in 5 hours flying with the wind , the plane can travel the sa
Westkost [7]
X = velocity of plane
y = velocity of wind

x - y = 1680/5 = 336 mph .....(1) [ plane flying against the wind]
&
x + y = 1680/4 = 420 mph....(2) [ plane flying with the wind]

Adding (1) and (2) to eliminate y gives

2x = 756
x = 378 mph is the speed of the plane with no wind.
