Answer:

in the ordered pair; ( x  = 27/4 , y = 1/4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The system of the equation shown below is:

-2x - 14y = 10

 2x + 2y = 14

We are to use the elimination method to determine the ordered pair.

From the above equation:

-2x - 14y = 10  --- (1)

 2x + 2y = 14   --- (2)

Add both equation 1 and 2 together in order to eliminate x, then we can solve for y first.

-2x - 14y = 10

<u>  2x + 2y = 14       </u>

<u>  0  - 16y = -4        </u>

<u />

- 16 y = - 4

divide both sides by - 16, Then:

-16y /-16 = -4/-16

y = 1/4

Since y = 1/4, Then from equation (2), x will be :

2x + 2y = 14

2x + 2(1/4) = 14

2x + 1/2 = 14

2x = 14 - 1/2

2x = 13.5

x = 13.5/2

x = 27/4

Thus, in the ordered pair; ( x  = 27/4 , y = 1/4 )

The planning department of abstract office supplies has been asked to determine what is the company should introduce a new compu
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<em>The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Application of Equations</u>

There is virtually no limit to the possible situations where equations can help to find the solution of specific problems related to areas like economy, where one could need to establish some important indicators about the business.

B. The fixed cost for Abstract Office Supplies to sell a new computer desk is $14,000. Each desk will cost $150 to produce. The cost function to produce X desks is

C(x)=150x+14,000

A. The revenue for each desk is estimated at $500, for X desks will be

R(x)=500x

C. The company will break even when the cost and the revenue are the same. We'll find how many desks need to be sold for that to happen. We equate

C(x)=R(x)

Or equivalently

150x+14,000=500x

Rearranging

500x-150x=14,000

350x=14,000

Solving for x

x=14,000/350= 40

The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even
