Answer:
x = 65 , y = 64
Step-by-step explanation:
y - 16 and 2y + 4 are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , that is
y - 16 + 2y + 4 = 180
3y - 12 = 180 ( add 12 to both sides )
3y = 192 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 64
then
2y + 4 = 2(64) + 4 = 128 + 4 = 132
the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.
2y + 4 is an exterior angle of the triangle , then
x + 67 = 132 ( subtract 67 from both sides )
x = 65
You have two choices.
The minimum possible cost to operate your bat factory for a day is $390,
and there are two quantities of bats that both cost that much.
One possibility:
Produce no bats at all per day. Zero. Nada. None.
Cost = 0.06(0)² - 7.2(0) + 390 = $390 per day.
The other choice:
Produce 120 bats per day.
Cost = 0.06(120²) - 7.2(120) + 390
= 0.06(14,400) - 7.2(120) + 390
= 864 - 864 + 390
= $390 per day.
If you produce any other number of bats in a day ... more than zero
but not 120 ... then it will cost you more than $390 to operate the factory
that day.
