Answer:
The cost of 5 gallons of fuel would be 5x assuming the cost of 1 gallon to be x.
Step-by-step explanation:
An old truck has a fuel efficiency rating of 12 mpg.
We have to find the cost of gasoline that will be used up after we drive 60 miles.
To drive 60 miles , it uses 5 gallons.
let the cost of 1 gallon of fuel be x.
We have to find the cost of 5 gallons of fuel.
So the cost of 5 gallons of fuel = 5
= 5x
Answer:
7(x-2)(x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
7x^2 -28
Factor out a 7
7(x^2 -4)
The terms inside the parentheses is the difference of squares, so it is factorable (a^2-b^2) = (a-b)(a+b)
7(x-2)(x+2)
Answer:
<h2>Revenue will decrease</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: the question did not provide the quantity to work with, so we will assume some values, say quantity Q= 30
Generally, it is normal for the revenue to decrease when the price of a commodity increase, this is so that buyer will have to react to adjust to the change in price.
When price increase from $50 to $60, the total revenue will decrease
let say the quantity Q1=30 , and the new quantity after price increase is Q2=20
1. The revenue PxQ before price change will be
PxQ= P1xQ1=50*30
PxQ= $1500
1. The revenue PxQ after price change will be
PxQ=P2xQ2= 60*20
P2xQ2= $1200
This clearly shows that based on the assumed data, the total revenue will drop from1500 to 1200, a total of $300 in a decrease
