Answer:
In the Garden Club the cost will be a fixed fee of $25 and $10 for each rosebush, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:
C1(X) = $25 + $10*X
While in the local nursery there is no initial cost, and each rosebush costs $15, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:
C2(X) = $15*X
Now, let's find the value of X where C1 and C2 are equal, this is:
$25 + $10*X = $15*X
$25 = $15*X - $10*X = $5*X
X = 25/5 = 5
This means that if he buys 5 rosebushes, he will pay the same amount in both places.
If he buys less than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the local nursery (as it has a bigger slope, but no initial fee)
If he buys more than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the Garden club (because it has a smaller slope)
Answer:
(-2, -3)
(3, 12)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we're gonna get rid of the y's with substitution
x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3
Let's make this equation equal to zero
Subtract 3 from both sides
x² + 2x - 3 = 3x + 3
- 3 - 3
x² + 2x - 6 = 3x
Subtract 3x from both sides
x² + 2x - 6 = 3x
- 3x - 3x
x² - x - 6 = 0
Factor the equation
(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0
This means x can be -2 or 3
Let's solve it with -2 first, plug the new x in y = 3x + 3
y = 3(-2) + 3
y = -6 + 3 = -3
Do the same for x = 3
y = 3(3) + 3
y = 9 + 3 = 12
Answer:
$42 - 19 = 23 - 15 = $8
Step-by-step explanation:
It is easier (for me anyway) to find 10% then work around that.
Following that path would mean that, by making a table:
100% = 220
10% = 22
5% (Which is half the 10) = 11
180 feet, cause you have already covered half the square
