This can be written as 3(n+12)=45, where n is the unknown number

3(n+12)=45 <- Starting Equation

3n+36=45 <- Distributive Property

3n=9 <- Cancel 36 on both sides

n=3 <- Divide both sides by 3

So n=3

Hope this helped!

An apartment complex on Ferenginar with 250 units currently has 223 occupants. The current rent for a unit is 892 slips of Gold-

Triss [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Total units = 250

Current occupants = 223

Rent per unit = 892 slips of Gold-Pressed latinum

Current rent = 892 x 223 =198,916 slips of Gold-Pressed latinum

After increase in the rent, then the rent function becomes

Let us conside 'y' is increased in amount of rent

Then occupants left will be [223 - y]

Rent = [892 + 2y][223 - y] = R[y]

To maximize rent =

$\frac{dR}{dy}=0\\=2(223-y)-(892+2y)=0\\=446-2y-892-2y=0\\=-446-4y=0\\y=\frac{-446}{4}=-111.5$

Since 'y' comes in negative, the owner must decrease his rent to maximixe profit.

Since there are only 250 units available;

$y=-250+223=-27\\\\maximum \,profit =[892+2(-27)][223+27]\\=838 * 250\\=838\,for\,250\,units$

Optimal rent - 838 slips of Gold-Pressed latinum
