Answer:

X=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x+1=6

change the signs

5x-1=-6

add 1 to - 6

5x = -5

divide both sides by 5

X=-1

The demand equation illustrates the price of an item and how it relates to the demand of the item.

The slope of the demand function is -1/2
The equation of the demand function is: $R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)$
The price that maximizes her revenue is: Ghc 85

From the question, we have:

$Plates = 300$

$Price = 20$

The number of plates (x) decreases by 10, while the price (y) increases by 5. The table of value is:

$\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {300} & {290} & {280} & {270} & {260} \ \\ y & {20} & {25} & {30} & {35} & {40} \ \end{array}$

The slope (m) is calculated using:

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

So, we have:

$m = \frac{25-20}{290-300}$

$m = \frac{5}{-10}$

$m = -\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the demand is as follows:

The initial number of plates (300) decreases by 10 is represented as: (300 - 10x).

Similarly, the initial price (20) increases by 5 is represented as: (20 + 5x).

So, the demand equation is:

$R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)$

Open the brackets to calculate the maximum revenue

$R(x) =6000 + 1500x - 200x - 50x^2$

$R(x) =6000 + 1300x - 50x^2$

Equate to 0

$6000 + 1300x - 50x^2 =0$

Differentiate with respect to x

$1300 - 100x =0$

Collect like terms

$100x =1300$

Divide by 100

$x =13$

So, the price at maximum revenue is:

$Price= 20 + 5x$

$Price= 20 + 5 * 13$

$Price= 85$

In conclusion:

The slope of the demand function is -1/2
The equation of the demand function is: $R(x) = (300 - 10x) \times (20 + 5x)$
The price that maximizes her revenue is: Ghc 85

When figuring out the amount of mulch would be needed for Alex's back yard, he created an equation that

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Alex will need 14 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

B= 4(2x+7)+3(2x+7)

and

2x+7=2

First, we should solve the second equation to obtain x:

2x+7=2

2x=2-7

x= -5/2

Then, we use this answer to calculate B:

B=4(2(-5/2)+7)+3(2)

B=4(-5+7)+6

B=4(2)+6

B=8+6

B=14

Alex will need 14 bags

fredd [130]

Answer: a. statistic

Step-by-step explanation:

Population : It is a set of all possible observations that can be made regarding a study by the researcher.
Sample : It is finite subset of population that represents the population in the researcher's analysis.
Population parameter : It is a value that is calculated from the entire population such as population mean , population proportion etc.
Statistics : It is a value that is calculated from the sample taken out from population.

Since ,The group of people who took poll are representing the sample.

Therefore, 92% of those polled said that a year from now their family financial situation will be as good as it is today or better that means 92% describes a statistics.

Thus , the correct answer is a. statistic
