If we let the number of flip-flops be x in the equation and that the cost would be y ( in terms of x) and the income would be z ( in terms of x), these equations will likely intersect each other during breakeven. That is, when the total revenue that the company will gain from sales of the flip-flops just be equal with the total cost.

Answer:</h3>
For each birdhouse built, the total cost increases by $3.50.
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Let's try some of the answers and see if they work.
The "initial cost" will be the cost when 0 birdhouses are built.
... f(0) = 3.5·0 +24 = 24 . . . . . clearly, not $3.50
Then increasing the number of birdhouses by 1, the cost is ...
... f(1) = 3.5·1 +24 = 27.5 . . . . . the cost has gone up (not down) by $3.50
Clearly the total cost to build 1 birdhouse is not $3.50. (It is $27.50.)
___
Our exploration of the formula leads us to conclude ...
... For each birdhouse built, the total cost increases by $3.50.
Answer is 6 you have to use distributive property to combine terms and than you simplify to get the answer<span />
Answer:
3rd group of possible answers is the correct set
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the three points in the 3rd line of possible answers is a solution of the given equation, as can be verified by substitution:
If x = -2, y = -8(-2) = +16
If x = 3, y = -8(3) = -24
If x = -4, y = -8(-4) = +32
