Answer:

The number of the television sets that is model p is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have total number of television sold = 40

The model p televisions sold for $30 less than the model q televisions

That is $P = $q - $30

Therefore

Let the quantity of the model p sold be X

Let the quantity of the model q sold be X

Therefore

x + y = 40

Total cost of the television = 40 * 141 = $5640

Therefore, 120*x + 90*y = 5640

Plugging in x = 40 - y in the above equation we get

4800 - 30y = 5640 or

y = -28 and

x = 68

If we put y = 40 - x we get

30x + 3600 = 5640

If we put

120*x + 150*y = 5640.........(3)

we get

x = 12 and y = 28

Therefore, since the model p sold for $30 less than the model q, from the solution of equation (3) the number of the television sets that is model p = 12

Answer: 12 of the 40 televisions were model p televisions

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue = price × quantity

Let x represent the number of the model p TV sold

The number of model q TV sold would be 40 - x

Revenue from model p TV sold is

px

Revenue from model q TV sold is

(40 - x)q

Total revenue = px + (40 - x)q

The formula for determining average price is expressed as

Average price = total revenue/total number of TV sold.

The average (arithmetic mean) selling price of the 40 televisions was $141. This means that

141 = (px + (40 - x)q)/40

141 × 40 = px + (40 - x)q

5640 = px + (40 - x)q

p = q - 30

5640 = x(q - 30) + (40 - x)q

5640 = xq - 30x + 40q - xq

5640 = - 30x + 40q

If q = 120, then

5640 = - 30x + 40 × 120

5640 = - 30x + 4800

5640 - 4800 = - 30x

840 = - 30x

x = 840/- 30 = - 28

since x cannot be negative, then q is not equal to 120

Again,

5640 = px + (40 - x)q

If q = 30 + p, then

5640 = px + (40 - x)(30 + p)

5640 = px + 1200 + 40p - 30x - px

5640 = 1200 + 40p - 30x

Therefore,

If p = 120, then

5640 = 1200 + 40 × 120 - 30x

5640 = 6000 - 30x

30x = 6000 - 5640

30x = 360

x = 360/30

x = 12

Change each standard form equation to slope-intercept form!

goldenfox [79]

Hello!

Slope-intercept form is this one: $y=a*x+b$ where a is the slope and b the intercept.

So, for transforming these equations to Slope-Intercept you'll need to rearrange the equations by adding or subtracting the same amounts on both sides of the equation (as a rule of thumb, sums are transformed into subtractions and multiplications into divisions).

<span>1) 3x + y = 12

You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by subtracting 3x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the left side:

</span> $3x+y-3x=12-3x \\ y=12-3x$
<span>
To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b

</span> $y=-3x+12$
<span>
So, the slope is -3 and the intercept is 12

2) 8=y+5x

</span>You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by subtracting 5x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the right side:

$8-5x=y+5x-5x \\ 8-5x=y$

To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b

$y=-5x+8$

So, the slope is -5 and the intercept is 8

3) 6x + 3y = -9

You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by subtracting 6x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the left side:

$6x+3y-6x=-9-6x \\ 3y=-9-6x$

Now, you should notice that y has a number that is multiplying it, so you'll need to divide the entire equation by 3 to cancel this number on the left side.

$\frac{3}{3}y= \frac{9}{3}- \frac{6}{3}x \\ y=3-2x$

To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b

$y=-2x+3$

So, the slope is -2 and the intercept is 3

4) x - 5y = 55

You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by subtracting x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the left side:

$x-5y-x=-55-x \\ -5y=-55-x$

Now, you should notice that y has a number that is multiplying it, so you'll need to divide the entire equation by -5 to cancel this number on the left side.

$\frac{-5}{-5}y= \frac{55}{-5}- \frac{1}{-5}x \\ y=-11+ \frac{1}{5}x$

To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b

$y=\frac{1}{5}x-11$

So, the slope is 1/5 and the intercept is -11

5) -4x-y=-2
You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by adding 4x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the left side:

$-4x-y+4x=-2+4x \\ -y=2+4x$

Now, you should notice that y has a number that is multiplying it, so you'll need to divide the entire equation by -1 to cancel this number on the left side.

$\frac{-1}{-1} y= \frac{-2}{-1}+ \frac{4}{-1}x \\ y=2-4x$

To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b

$y=-4x+2$

So, the slope is -4 and the intercept is 2

6) -16 = -4x + 2y

You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by adding 4x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the right side:

$-16+4x=-4x+2y+4x \\ -16+4x=2y$

Now, you should notice that y has a number that is multiplying it, so you'll need to divide the entire equation by 2 to cancel this number on the right side.

$\frac{-16}{2}+ \frac{4}{2} x= \frac{2}{2}y \\ -8+2x=y$

To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b

$y=2x-8$

So, the slope is 2 and the intercept is -8

I hope that this helps. Have a nice day!

When solved correctly, the equation 4x−8−−−−−√=x−5 has solutions of x=3 and x=11.

grigory [225]

Answer:

x = 3 is extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\sqrt{4x-8}$ = x - 5 ( square both sides to clear the radical )

4x - 8 = (x - 5)² ← expand using FOIL

4x - 8 = x² - 10x + 25 ( subtract 4x - 8 from both sides )

0 = x² - 14x + 33 ← in standard form

0 = (x - 11)(x - 3) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 11 = 0 ⇒ x = 11

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

As a check

Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are solutions

x = 11

left side = $\sqrt{44-8}$ = $\sqrt{36}$ = 6

right side = 11 - 5 = 6

Thus x = 11 is a solution

x = 3

left side = $\sqrt{12-8}$ = $\sqrt{4}$ = 2

right side = 3 - 5 = - 2 ≠ 2

Thus x = 3 is an extraneous solution

Your answer would be D) 3x + 6
This is because, when you subtract the like terms, you get x - -2x, which is 3x, and 1 - -5, which is 6.

I hope this helps!
