A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as ed

iting) and variable costs (such as printing). There are two production methods it could use. With one method, the one-time fixed costs will total $22,427, and the variable costs will be $19.25 per book. With the other method, the one-time fixed costs will total $53,962 , and the variable costs will be $10.50 per book. For how many books produced will the costs from the two methods be the same?

Answer:

3,604 books

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 situations:  situation A and situation B.  What we are looking for is the number of books that has situation A equal to situation B.  So the game plan is to write the equations for A and B, set them equal to each other, and then solve for the unknown number of books, x.

Situation A:  If each book costs 19.25 to produce and the number of books is x, we express that as 19.25x.  The fixed cost to use that company, regardless of the number of books it produces for you, is 22,427.  Which means it is going to charge you 22,427 whether you produce 1000000 books or no books at all.  The equation for A is:

C(A) = 19.25x + 22,427

Situation B uses the exact same reasoning, with the cost of each book being 10.50x and the flat rate cost of 53,962.  Therefore, the equation for B:

C(B) = 10.50x + 53,962

We need the number of books where A = B, so we set the equations equal to each other and solve for x:

19.25x + 22,427 = 10.50x + 53,962 so

8.75x = 31,535 and

x = 3604

Answer:

(A) Angles in equilateral triangle are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure, it can be seen that in triangle ABD, AB=BD=AD which means that all the sides of the triangle are congruent and by the definition of equilateral triangle, ΔABD will be an equilateral triangle.

Therefore, Using the property that Angles in equilateral triangle are congruent, we can find the value of x.

Thus, option A is correct.

You are going to roll two dice. Let the variable x = the sum of the numbers rolled. What is the probability that x = 9 ?
Vladimir79 [104]

The  first cube can land in any one of  6  ways.
The  second cube can land in any one of  6  ways.
Total number of ways that  2 dice can land = (6 x 6) = 36 ways.

For any of these ways, the sum of the numbers rolled is  9 :

3, 6
4, 5
5, 4
6, 3

There are  4  ways to roll a 9, out of a total of  36  ways that
the dice can land.  So the probability of rolling a  9  is

       4 / 36  =  1 / 9  =  <em>11-1/9 percent</em>

∠A=5x−18. ∠B=3x+42∘ solve for x and then find the measure of ∠A
KatRina [158]

Answer:

x = 30 ∠A = 132 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equations equal to each other to solve for x

5x - 18 = 3x + 42

-3x        - 3x               Subtract 3x from both sides

2x - 18 = 42

    + 18  + 18              Add 18 to both sides

2x = 60                     Divide both sides by 2

x = 30

Now plug this into the equation for angle A

∠A = 5(30) − 18        Multiply

∠A = 150 - 18           Subtract

∠A = 132 degrees
