aksik [14]
Fixed costs:
$350 + $120 + $170 = $640
Variable costs:
x * ( $6.50 + $3.64 ) = x * 10.14
Sales income ( total ):
x * $36.40
FC + FV - Income = 0
640 + 10.14 x - 36.40 x = 0
640 - 26.26 x = 0
26.26 x = 640
x = 640 : 26.26 = 24.37
Answer:
The minimum number of passengers needed per cruise, so that the cruise company can be sure it will make a profit is 25.

Which graph shows the solution of the inequality −|x − 2| + 9 > 6?
mariarad [96]

answer is -1 < x < 5

-|x - 2|+ 9 > 6

Rearrange the terms

-|x - 2| > 6 - 9

-|x - 2| > - 3

then divide both sides of the inequality by the co- efficient of variable

|x - 2| < 3

convert the absolute inequality to standard inequality

-3 <x - 2 < 3

separate compound inequalities into system of inequality

{x - 2}> -3

{x - 2 < 3}

Rearrange variable to the left side of the equation

x > -3 + 2                    

calculate the sum or difference

x > -1

x -2 < 3

Rearrange variable to the left side of the equation

x < 3 + 2

calculate the sum or difference

x < 5

x > -1 and x < 5

Find intersection

-1 < x < 5

Equations and inequalities are both mathematical sentences formed by relating two expressions to each other. In an equation, the two expressions are deemed equal which is shown by the symbol =. Where as in an inequality, the two expressions are not necessarily equal which is indicated by the symbols: >, <, ≤ or ≥.
