Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

5x + 3 - 2x = 12 + 7x - 2

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Combine like terms:                                                                                        3x + 3 = 7x + 10
  2. [SPE] Subtract 3x on both sides:                                                                    3 = 4x + 10
  3. [SPE] Subtract 10 on both sides:                                                                      -7 = 4x
  4. [DPE] Divide 4 on both sides:                                                                         -7/4 = x
  5. Rewrite:                                                                                                           x = -7/4

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                     5(-7/4) + 3 - 2(-7/4) = 12 + 7(-7/4) - 2
  2. Multiply:                                -35/4 + 3 + 7/2 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
  3. Add:                                      -23/4 + 7/2 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
  4. Add:                                      -9/4 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
  5. Subtract:                               -9/4 = -1/4 - 2
  6. Subtract:                               -9/4 = -9/4

Here we see that -9/4 does indeed equal -9/4.

∴ x = -7/4 is the solution to the equation.

aev [14]

Answer:

case 2 with two workers is the optimal decision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1—One worker:A= 3/hour Poisson, ¡x =5/hour exponential The average number of machines in the system isL = - 3. = 4 = lJr machines' ix-A 5 - 3 2 2Downtime cost is $25 X 1.5 = $37.50 per hour; repair cost is $4.00 per hour; and total cost per hour for 1worker is $37.50 + $4.00

= $41.50.Downtime (1.5 X $25) = $37.50 Labor (1 worker X $4) = 4.00

$41.50

Case 2—Two workers: K = 3, pl= 7L= r= = 0.75 machine1 p. -A 7 - 3Downtime (0.75 X $25) = S J 8.75Labor (2 workers X S4.00) = 8.00S26.75Case III—Three workers:A= 3, p= 8L= ——r = 5- ^= § = 0.60 machinepi -A 8 - 3 5Downtime (0.60 X $25) = $15.00 Labor (3 workers X $4) = 12.00 $27.00

Comparing the costs for one, two, three workers, we see that case 2 with two workers is the optimal decision.

A student created this table to represent a linear relationship between x and y.X Y-2. 10.0-1. 7.50. 5.01. 2.52. 0The student sa
alex41 [277]

The relationship between x and y is represent as:

Since, the relationship is linear.

The standard form of equation of line is:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

Consider any two set x and y values from the given relationship.

Let (-2, 10) and (-1,7.5)

\text{Substitute x}_1=-2,y_1=10,x_2=-1,y_2=7.5\text{ in the standard equation of line.}

\begin{gathered} y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1) \\ y-10=\frac{7.5-10}{-1-(-2)}(x-(-2)) \\ y-10=\frac{-2.5}{1}(x+2) \\ y-10=-2.5(x+2) \\ y=-2.5(x+2)+10 \end{gathered}

The equation of the linear relationship between x and y is:

y = -2.5(x + 2) + 10

Now, to check that the point (9, -17.5) lies on the represented relationship between x and y

Substitute x = 9 and y = -17.5 in the equation y = -2.5(x + 2) + 10

y = -2.5(x + 2) + 10

-17.5 = -2.5(9 + 2) + 10

-17.5 = -2.5(11) + 10

-17.5 = -27.5 + 10

-17.5 = -17.5

Thus, LHS = RHS

Hence the point (9, -17.5) lie on the given linear relationship between x and y.

Answer: The point (9, -17.5) lie on the given linear relationship between x and y.
