Answer:
p=-6
q=3
Step-by-step explanation:
5p-3q=-39
-2p-3q=3
Multiply the second equation by -1
2p +3q = -3
Add the first equation and the modified second equation
5p-3q=-39
2p +3q = -3
---------------------
7p = -42
Divide by 7
7p/7 = -42/7
p = -6
Now we can find q
2p +3q = -3
2(-6) +3q = -3
-12 +3q = -3
Add 12 to each side
-12+12 +3q = -3+12
3q = 9
Divide by 3
3q/3 = 9/3
q=3
Because 1/2 ≠ 1/6.
We know that 1/6 < 1/2, so we can set up an equation to see how many copies are needed for them to be equal.
(1/6)x = 1/2
[(1/6)x] × 6 = [1/2] × 6
x = 6/2 = 3
This equation shows that 1/6 × 3 = 1/2, therefore we need 3 copies of 1/6 to equal 1 copy of 1/2.
There are 62 quarters and 52 dimes in the jar.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Worth of jar coins = $20.70 = 20.70*100 = 2070 cents
1 Quarter = 25 cents
1 Dime = 10 cents
Let,
Number of quarters = x
Number of dimes = y
According to given statement;
25x+10y=2070 Eqn 1
x=y+10 Eqn 2
Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1
Dividing both sides by 35
Putting y=52 in Eqn 2
There are 62 quarters and 52 dimes in the jar.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
C(x) = 15x + 25,500....cost function
R(x) = 32x .....revenue function
break even point (when they are equal)....so set them equal and solve for x
15x + 25,500 = 32x
25,500 = 32x - 15x
25,500 = 17x
25,500 / 17 = x
1500 = x.......so the break even point is when 1500 benches are sold
15x + 25,500 = 32x =
15(1500) + 25,500 32(1500) =
22,500 + 25,500 48,000
48,000
and after selling 1500 benches, they will both equal $48,000
