The answer is 3 and you have to subsitute -6 in for n to get your answer
3w +2 =7w
-3w -3w
2=4w
Divide each side by 4
1/2=w
Check your answer:
3 (1/2) + 2 = 7 (1/2)
(3/2) + (4/2) = (7/2)
(7/2) = (7/2)
Hope this helps.
Answer:
X = 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
0.25[2.5x + 1.5(X-4)]= -X
0.25[2.5x + 1.5x - 6] = -x
0.25[4x -6] = -x
1x + x = 1.5
2x = 1.5
x = 1.5/2
x = 0.75
We know that:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Let us say x number of candies are made per week.
Finding Cost per week:
Cost of making 1 bar = 0.15
Cost of making x bars = 0.15x
Fixed rate of making candies per week = 600
Total cost of making x candies per week = 600 + 0.15x
Now let us find Revenue:
Selling price of each bar = 1.50
Selling price of x bars = 1.50x
Now we have to find profit,
Profit = Revenue - Cost
In order to have profit Revenue - Cost >0
So plugging values of revenue and cost to get number of candies,




x>444.44
Rounding off
x>444
Answer: The company must sell greater than 444 candies in order to make profit.
