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

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (2, 1) and (5, -8)
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The answer is y = -3x + 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

❃Incase you forgot what the linear equation formula is ☟

y = mx + b

❃Incase you also forgot, what the slope formula is ☟

m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

➊ First: We are going to be solving for the slope.

m =  \frac{ - 8 - 1}{5 - 2}  =  \frac{ - 9}{ \:  \:  \: 3}  =  - 3

➋Second: We find the y-intercept.

y = mx + b \\ 1 = - 3(2) + b \\ 1 = - 6 + b \\ \frac{ + 6 = + 6 \: \: \: \: \:  \:  \:  \:  \: }{7 = b}

➌Third: Plug in.

y =  - 3x + 7

For the linear system :

r+t = 20 and 5(r+t) = 150

If you sub in the first equation into the second, you will get: 100 = 150, which is incorrect

It means the system does NOT have solutions.

Answer will be the last choice

If 2/3 of the distance from the y-axis to point A (−30, −45) is equal to 1/4 of the distance from the x-axis to point B(5a, 2a),
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The value of a is 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of a point (x_o,y_0) from the y-axis can be written as d_y=|x_o|  because the x-coordinate of the y-axis is zero.

Similarly, the distance of a point  from the x-axis can be written as d_x=|y_0|

since the y-coordinate of the x-axis is zero.

In this problem:

- The distance of the point A (−30, −45) from the y-axis can be written as

d_A=|-30|=30

- The distance of point B (5a,2a) from the x-axis can be written as

d_B=|2a|=2a

Since a>0

We are told that 2/3 of the distance from the y-axis to point A (−30, −45) is equal to 1/4 of the distance from the x-axis to point B(a, a), which means

\frac{2}{3}d_A=\frac{1}{4}d_B

Therefore,

\frac{2}{3}(30)=\frac{1}{4}(2a)

And solving for a,

20=\frac{1}{2}a\\a=40
