b.200 tshirts
c.600 tshirts
d.1,266

To find the number of t-shirts, we must add the individual cost of producing 1 shirt and equate it to 5.33. Since 200 is the cost of the set-up fee, we divide this by an unknown x, for the individual cost. We add 5, which is the cost to produce a shirt. We now have 200/x + 5 = 5.33. Find the value of x, which is 606, nearest to 600. Therefore approximately 600 t-shirts must be produced.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 1 centimeter longer than one side and 4 centimeters longer than three times the other side

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

$Hypotenuse = 25cm$

$Opposite = 24cm$

$Adjacent = 7cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent:

The opposite with a
The adjacent with b
The hypotenuse with c

Given that:

$c = 1 + a$

$c = 4 + 3b$

Required

Solve for a, b and c

$c = c$

So, we have:

$1 + a = 4 + 3b$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$a = 4 -1 + 3b$

$a = 3 + 3b$

Apply Pythagoras Theorem

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$

Substitute 3 + 3b for a and 4 + 3b for c

$(4 + 3b)^2 = (3 + 3b)^2 + b^2$

Open brackets

$16 + 12b+12b+9b^2 = 9 + 9b+9b+9b^2 +b^2$

$16 + 24b+9b^2 = 9 + 18b+10b^2$

Collect Like Terms

$10b^2 - 9b^2 + 18b - 24b + 9 - 16 = 0$

$b^2 - 6b -7 = 0$

Expand

$b^2 +b-7b-7=0$

Factorize:

$b(b+1)-7(b+1) =0$

$(b-7)(b+1) = 0$

Split:

$b - 7 = 0\ or\ b+1=0$

$b = 7\ or\ b=-1$

But the adjacent of a triangle can't have a negative measurement.

So:

$b = 7$

Recall that:

$c = 4 + 3b$

$a = 3 + 3b$

Substitute 7 for b in the above expressions

$c = 4 + 3 * 7$

$c = 4 + 21$

$c = 25$

$a = 3 + 3 * 7$

$a = 3 + 21$

$a = 24$

Hence, the dimensions of the triangle are:

$Hypotenuse = 25cm$

$Opposite = 24cm$

$Adjacent = 7cm$

Two trains are traveling towards each other at a constant speed. The trains are currently 714 miles from each other. The speeds

shutvik [7]

55mph.

you can solve it using the equation distance=speed x time

your total distance is 714, and you have 2 trains, one traveling some speed, x, and one traveling x+8, both traveling for 7 hours.
your equation would look like this
$714 = x(7) + (x+8)(7)$
and you can then solve for x, which would be 47. this is the speed of the slower train, but 47+8=55 with give you the speed of the faster train.

This table shows values that represent an exponential function. What is the average rate of change for this function for the int

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$\boxed{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = 3, y = 13

When x = 5, y = 37

Subtract both y-values to find the change:

37 - 13 = 24

Average of the change:

$\frac{24}{2}$ = 12
