<span>x -1÷8 = 20 :

x - 1 / 8 = 20  ( multiply both sides by 8 ) :

x * 8 - 1/8 * 8 = 20 * 8

Refine:

8 x - 1 = 160  ( add  1 to both sides : )

8 x - 1 + 1 = 160 + 1

8 x = 161

Divide both sides by 8 :

8 x /8  = 161/8

x = 161 / 8  decimal = 20.125

hope this helps!

First, multiply each side by 8 to get x-1=160, then add one to each side to get x=161. So, in conclusion, x=161! Hope this helped!

A car rental agency has 150 cars. The owner finds that at a price of $48 per day, he can rent all the cars. For each $2 increase
hram777 [196]
Given that for each <span>$2 increase in price, the demand is less and 4 fewer cars are rented.

Let x be the number of $2 increases in price, then the revenue from renting cars is given by
(48 + 2x) \times (150 - 4x)=7,200+108x-8x^2.

Also, given that f</span><span>or each car that is rented, there are routine maintenance costs of $5 per day, then the total cost of renting cars is given by
5(150-4x)=750-20x

Profit is given by revenue - cost.
Thus, the profit from renting cars is given by
</span><span>(7,200+108x-8x^2)-(750-20x)=6,450+128x-8x^2

For maximum profit, the differentiation of the profit function equals zero.
i.e.
</span><span>\frac{d}{dx} (6,450+128x-8x^2)=0 \\  \\ 128-16x=0 \\  \\ x= \frac{128}{16} =8

The price of renting a car is given by 48 + 2x = 48 + 2(8) = 48 + 16 = 64.

Therefore, the </span><span>rental charge will maximize profit is $64.</span>

TIMED
Rudik [331]
-x^2 + 4x + 12 = -3x + 24

-> x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0

-> (x-3)(x-4) = 0

-> x= 3 or 4

so y = 15 when x = 3, y = 12 when x = 4
