ashells. Marisol started with zero seashells in her collection.
• Pilar adds 10 seashells to her collection each week for x weeks.
• Marisol adds 20 seashells to her collection each week for x weeks.
(a) Write an inequality to represent the situation when the number of seashells in Marisol's collection is greater than the number of seashells in Pilar's collection.

Answer:

a. 20x > 10x + 80

b.  •20x > 10x + 80

• Subtract 10x from both sides: 20x -10x > 10x + 80 - 10x

• Simplify: 10x > 80

• Divide both sides by 10:   10x/10 > 80/10

• Simplify: x > 8

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 80 = number of seashells Pilar has.

20x = number of seashells Marisol has.  

answer for a:  20x > 10x + 80

answer for b: 20x > 10x + 80

• Subtract 10x from both sides: 20x -10x > 10x + 80 - 10x

• Simplify: 10x > 80

• Divide both sides by 10:   10x/10 > 80/10

• Simplify: x > 8

An entrepreneur estimates that the total profit (profit = total revenue minus total cost) from his proposed company will be give
Studentka2010 [4]
I found the same problem but with given choices:
A.1 year 
<span>B.2 years </span>
<span>C.3 years </span>
<span>D.4 years </span>
<span>E.6 years
</span>
profit = total revenue - total cost
p(x) = x³ - 4x² + 3x - 12

simply plug each choices to solve. answer must be 0.

A) p(1) = 1³ - 4(1²) + 3(1) - 12 = 1 - 4 + 3 - 12 = -12
B) p(2) = 2³ - 4(2²) + 3(2) - 12 = 8 - 16 + 3 - 12 = -17
C) p(3) = 3³ - 4(3²) + 3(3) - 12 = 27 - 36 + 9 - 12 = -12
D) p(4) = 4³ - 4(4²) + 3(4) - 12 = 64 - 64 + 12 - 12 = 0
E) p(6) = 6³ - 4(6²) + 3(6) - 12 = 216 - 144 + 18 - 12 = 78

It would take 4 years for the company to reach break-even point.

A bowl is in the shape of a hemisphere (half a sphere) with a diameter of 13 inches. Find the volume of the bowl. Use 3.14 for p
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

575in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume for a Sphere = 4/3πr³

Radius = 13/2 = 6.5

4/3(3.14)(6.5³) = 1149.763333

Because it's half a sphere, just divide by 2

1149.763333/2 = 574.881667

Rounded to the nearest cubic inch = 575

Find the difference. (3 • 1,000) - (2• 100)
mrs_skeptik [129]
First you multiply 3 x 1000 which is 3,000. Then you too 2 x 100 which is 200. Lastly you subtract 3000 from 200 and you get 2800.
