Step-by-step explanation:
the total cost is, of course, first the cost to buy the copier, and then the running costs per copy made.
it is really that easy.
the equations just put this into mathematical form :
A
y = 0.02×x + 800
B
y = 0.06×x + 600
please notice, we put $600 or $800 in as constant term, because these costs are the starting costs that we have, even if we never make a single copy (x = 0).
and then the total cost goes up with every copy we make.
I cannot draw here.
so, to find the number of copies where both copier systems would cost the same, means we have to say both equating deliver the same result :
0.02×x + 800 = 0.06×x + 600
200 = 0.04×x
x = 200 / 0.04 = 5000
when making 5000 copies both costs are the same.
The answer is A.multiply 3 * 6 and 3.6 * 5 and see if cross products are equivalent
Was increased by 1 inch, the new measure of each side would be 4 inches.
The greatest common factor is 2
We first have to look for the largest number that goes into both equations. The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. None of 3, 4, 6, or 12 go into 26 evenly. So 2 is the largest number you can take out.
With the variables, we take out as many as the lowest number will let us. Since the smallest number of n's is 2 in the second term, we take that many.
The answer is 7,500 because 150% is the same as 1.5 x 5000.
