Hi there!

Let th' number of CD's be = X

• Setup fee = $ 5,500
• Per CD's charge = $ 1.00
• Desired cost per CD = $ 3.50

Acc'rding to the question :-

Desired cost per CD = Setup fee + Cost per CD

⇒ (3.50 × X) = $ 5, 500 + ($ 1.00 × X)

⇒3.50 X = $ 5, 500 + 1.00 X

Combine like terms :-

⇒ 3.50 X - $ 1.00 X = $ 5, 500

⇒ 2.50 X = $ 5, 500

⇒X = \dfrac {5, 500}{2.50} = 2, 200 CD's

Hence,
The required answer is = X = 2, 200 CD's

~ Hope it helps!

Setup Fee= $5,500Per CD Charge= $1.00Desired Cost Per CD= $3.50
x= number of CDs

Desired Cost Per CD= Cost per CD + Setup Fee
($3.50 * x)= ($1.00 * x) + $5,500multiply inside parentheses
$3.50x= $1.00x + $5,500subtract $1.00x from both sides
$2.50x= $5,500divide both sides by $2.50
x= 2,200 CDs

ANSWER: x= 2,200 CDs
Hope this helps!  :)

Functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below:
kondor19780726 [428]
We look for the minimum of each function.
 For f (x) = 3x2 + 12x + 16:
 We derive the function:
 f '(x) = 6x + 12
 We match zero:
 6x + 12 = 0
 We clear the value of x:
 x = -12/6
 x = -2
 We substitute the value of x in the equation:
 f (-2) = 3 * (- 2) ^ 2 + 12 * (- 2) + 16
 f (-2) = 4
 For g (x) = 2sin(x-pi):
 From the graph we observe that the minimum value of the function is:
 y = -2
 Answer:
 
A function that has the smallest minimum y-value is:
 
y = -2

Solve each proportion. <br> 8/x+9=2/x-3<br> Please show work.
emmainna [20.7K]


8/x+9-(2/x-3)=0

Step by step solution :


Step 1 :

2
Simplify —
x
Equation at the end of step 1 :

8 2
(— + 9) - (— - 3) = 0
x x
Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :

3 3 • x
3 = — = —————
1 x
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

2 - (3 • x) 2 - 3x
——————————— = ——————
x x
Equation at the end of step 2 :

8 (2 - 3x)
(— + 9) - ———————— = 0
x x
Step 3 :

8
Simplify —
x
Equation at the end of step 3 :

8 (2 - 3x)
(— + 9) - ———————— = 0
x x
Step 4 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

4.1 Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :

9 9 • x
9 = — = —————
1 x
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

8 + 9 • x 9x + 8
————————— = ——————
x x
Equation at the end of step 4 :

(9x + 8) (2 - 3x)
———————— - ———————— = 0
x x
Step 5 :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(9x+8) - ((2-3x)) 12x + 6
————————————————— = ———————
x x
Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

12x + 6 = 6 • (2x + 1)

Equation at the end of step 6 :

6 • (2x + 1)
———————————— = 0
x
Step 7 :

When a fraction equals zero :

7.1 When a fraction equals zero ...
Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

6•(2x+1)
———————— • x = 0 • x
x
Now, on the left hand side, the x cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
6 • (2x+1) = 0

Equations which are never true :

7.2 Solve : 6 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
