Kohl's sells casual shirts for $9 and polo shirts for $18.00. Total sales were $1,080, and customers bought 4 times as many casu

al as polo shirts. How many casual shirts did Kohl's sell?

Let x be the number of polo shirts customers bought
4x be the number of casual shirts bought by customers

Based on the condition that the total sales amounted to $1,080, the equation becomes

9(4x) + 18(x) = 1,080

This equation gives a value for x equal to 20.

Therefore, Kohl's sold 80 casual shirts.

Help anyone<br> 8th grade math?

Kruka [31]

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2.8 + 2x = 0.6 x 8

2.8 x + 2x = 4.8

2x = 4.8 - 2.8 (subtract 2.8 on both sides)

2x = 2

x = 1 (divide 2 on both sides)

Hope this helps

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5 = x - 3

Subtract x from each side

3x+5-x = x-3-x

2x+5 = -3

Subtract 5 from each side

2x+5-5 = -3-5

2x = -8

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = -8/2

x = -4

Marine biologists have determined that when a shark detectsthe presence of blood in the water, it will swim in the directionin w

siniylev [52]

Solution :

a). The level curves of the function :

$C(x,y) = e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}$

are actually the curves

$e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}=k$

where k is a positive constant.

The equation is equivalent to

$x^2+2y^2=K$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{(\sqrt K)^2}+\frac{y^2}{(\sqrt {K/2})^2}=1, \text{ where}\ K = -10^4 \ln k$

which is a family of ellipses.

We sketch the level curves for K =1,2,3 and 4.

If the shark always swim in the direction of maximum increase of blood concentration, its direction at any point would coincide with the gradient vector.

Then we know the shark's path is perpendicular to the level curves it intersects.

b). We have :

$\triangledown C= \frac{\partial C}{\partial x}i+\frac{\partial C}{\partial y}j$

$\Rightarrow \triangledown C =-\frac{2}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}(xi+2yj),$ and

$\triangledown C$ points in the direction of most rapid increase in concentration, which means $\triangledown C$ is tangent to the most rapid increase curve.

$r(t)=x(t)i+y(t)j$ is a parametrization of the most $\text{rapid increase curve}$ , then

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{dx}{dt}i+\frac{dy}{dt}j$ is a tangent to the curve.

So then we have that $\frac{dr}{dt}=\lambda \triangledown C$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{2\lambda x}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}, \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{4\lambda y}{10^4}e^{-(x^2+2y^2)/10^4}$

∴ $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt}=\frac{2y}{x}$

Using separation of variables,

$\frac{dy}{y}=2\frac{dx}{x}$

$\int\frac{dy}{y}=2\int \frac{dx}{x}$

$\ln y=2 \ln x$

⇒ y = kx^2 for some constant k

but we know that $y(x_0)=y_0$

$\Rightarrow kx_0^2=y_0$

$\Rightarrow k =\frac{y_0}{x_0^2}$

∴ The path of the shark will follow is along the parabola

$y=\frac{y_0}{x_0^2}x^2$

$y=y_0\left(\frac{x}{x_0}\right)^2$
