Answer:

x=15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2/3x−1/5x=x−1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2/3x−1/5x=x−1

2/3x+−1/5x=x+−1

(2/3x+−1/5x)=x−1(Combine Like Terms)

7/15x=x−1

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

7/15x−x=x−1−x

−8/15x=−1

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 15/(-8).

(15/−8)*(−8/15x)=(15/−8)*(−1)

x=15/8

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A ≈ $500

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Alg

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Compounded Interest Rate: A = P(1 + r/n)ⁿˣ

A is final amount
P is initial (principle) amount
r is rate
n is number of compounds
x is number of years

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

P = 230

r = 0.063

n = 365

x = 12

Step 2: Solve for A

Substitute: A = 230(1 + 0.063/365)³⁶⁵⁽¹²⁾
Divide: A = 230(1 + 0.000173)³⁶⁵⁽¹²⁾
Multiply: A = 230(1 + 0.000173)⁴³⁸⁰
Add: A = 230(1.00017)⁴³⁸⁰
Exponents: A = 230(2.1296)
Multiply: A = 489.808

The revenue from selling xshirts is r(x) = 12x.

algol [13]

Answer:

D. $p(x)=7x-20$

Step-by-step explanation:

$r(x) = 12x\\c(x) = 5x + 20\\p(x) = r(x)-c(x)\\p(x)=12x-(5x+20)\\p(x)=12x-5x-20\\p(x)=7x-20$

Simply subtract the two functions from each other and simplify to get the result.
