Answer:

a. -12y

b. -3x^2 - x + 28

Explanation:

a. The expression:

(-18x*2y)/(3x)

can be simplified computing the division, that is, dividing -18*2 by 3 (which is equal to -12) and dividing x*y by x (which is equal to y). Then, the result is -12y.

b. To simplify the expression:

(x-4)*(x-1) - 4*(x-3)*(x+2)

first, use the distributive property as follows:

(x-4)*(x-1) = x^2 - x - 4x + 4 = x^2 - 5x + 4

4*(x-3)*(x+2) = (4x - 12)*(x+2) = 4x^2 + 8x - 12x -24 = 4x^2 - 4x - 24

Then replace in the original expression:

x^2 - 5x + 4 - (4x^2 - 4x - 24) =

= x^2 - 5x + 4 - 4x^2 + 4x +24 =

= -3x^2 - x + 28

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The restaurant need to sell 46.6 slices (47 slices)

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The restaurant sells pizza at a rate of $13.57/slice. Expenses for the restaurant include raw material for pizza at $8.57 per slice, $172.00 as monthly rental and $61.00 monthly as insurance.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= (172 + 61) / (13.57 - 8.57)

Break-even point= 46.6 slices

a. No. Since the good that I am selling is inelastic considering the elasticity given in and outside Texas, having a lower price than non-Texan gas stations would have less impact on the quantity demanded.

Fofino [41]

Arguing that globalization is ultimately driven by joint gains from mutually beneficial trade is an argument from the liberal perspective.

<h3>What does the liberal viewpoint entail?</h3>

Liberal beliefs regarding the nature and purpose of law are centered on defending individual freedom. Liberals, following John Stuart Mill, argue against enforcing morality on the grounds that the use of coercion or control is not justified by society's conception of what is ethically appropriate. According to the liberal perspective, acts that damage or wrong people but to which they consent—often referred to as victimless crimes—are not properly criminalized. Thus, for a liberal, the border between the sex that ought to be criminalized and sex that shouldn't is the line between uninvited sex and sex that ought to be allowed.

Ides receives 16 cents for every unit produced. Ides produces 2,976 pieces in a 43-hour workweek. For overtime, Ides is paid a s

mash [69]

Answer:

$492.78

Explanation:

Calculation for What The Ides' total piecework and overtime earnings are

Ides' total piecework and overtime earnings=[(2,976 × $0.16 ÷43*(0.5)]*3+[(2,976 × $0.16 )]

Ides' total piecework and overtime earnings= [($476.16 ÷ 43)*0.5]*3+[(2,976 × $0.16 )]

Ides' total piecework and overtime earning = ($11.07 × 0.5 )*3+[(2,976 × $0.16 )]

Ides' total piecework and overtime earnings= ($5.54 × 3)+$476.16

Ides' total piecework and overtime earnings = $16.62 + $476.16

Ides' total piecework and overtime earnings=$492.78

Therefore the Ides' total piecework and overtime earnings are $492.78
