3/9 = x/36
Now cross multiply
108 = 9x
X = 12
Answer:880
Step-by-step explanation: They need to cover expense of $13200. If printing fee is $25 and they sell the books for $40 each, then that means when selling a book they cover expense of printing plus they earn $15 per book.
So if they earn $15 per book that means they have to sell 13200/15=880 books to break even.
If you want to solve this by using equation the this would look like this:
expenses: $13200 + $25x where x is number of books sold
earnings: $40x
Equation:
13200+25x=40x
13200=15x
x=880
Answer:ITS THE SECOND ONE
Step-by-step explanation:
You haven't shared "the given value of x," or, if you have, you haven't drawn attention to it.
Just suppose we were to choose x = 4 as a possible solution and then try to find a value of the parameter k that would make x = 4 an actual solution.
2(4) + 4k - 9 = (4)(4) - (4) + 1
Then 8 + 4k - 9 = 16 - 4 + 1, or 4k - 1 = 13. Then 4k = 14, and k = 14/4, or (after reduction) k = 7/2
If the parameter k equals 7/2, then x = 4 is a solution to the given equation.
To check this out further, start with the proposed solution x = 5 and find k.
