A florist owns two flower shops. The profit for the month of June at the first location can be represented by the function p(x)=

202+21x , where x represents the number of business days that month. The profit for the month of June at the second location can be represented by the function q(x)=17x+173 , where x represents the number of business days that month. Which function, r(x), represents the total profit for the two locations during the month of June? R(x)=38x+375 r(x)=194x+219 r(x)=219x+194 r(x)=4x+29

Answer:

$r(x) = 38x + 375$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Profit in the month of June from first location is $p(x)=202+21x$

Profit in the month of June from second location is $q(x)=17x+173$

Now, total profit from the two locations can be obtained by adding the profits from each of the two locations.

Now, adding both the profits, we get:

$r(x)=p(x)+q(x)$

Plug in the given values and simplify. This gives,

$r(x)=202+21x+17x+173$

Now, we need to combine the like terms using commutative property.

Therefore, rearranging the terms, we get:

$r(x)=21x+17x+202+173\\\\r(x)=38x+375$

Therefore, the correct option is the first option.

What is the sum of the polynomials?

lubasha [3.4K]

9x^3 - 8x^2 is the answer. to solve this you must distribute the sign across each parenthetical and then add the like terms (all cubed x variables added to cubed variables and all squared x variables added to squared variable)

Two cars are traveling down the highway with the same speed. If the first car increases its speed by 1km/hr, and the other car d

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The speed of the cars is $32 \frac{km}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must first have the clear concept that $speed=\frac{distance}{time}$ or $s=\frac{d}{t}$

Our question is the speed of the cars then the variable to clear will be s.

Let's raise the equation for each car taking into account that we have the following data:

Car 1: $s_{1}=s+1$ , $t_{1}=2$ and $d_{1}= d_{2}$

Car 1: $s_{2}=s-10$ , $t_{2}=3$ and $d_{1}= d_{2}$

The two cars travel the same distance so we will raise the distance formula for each car and then match them.

<em>Car 1</em>

$d_{1}=s_{1}*t_{1}$

$d_{1}=(s+1)*2$

$d_{1}=2s+2$

<em>Car 2</em>

$d_{2}=s_{2}*t_{2}$

$d_{2}=(s-10)*3$

$d_{2}=3s.30$

$d_{1}=d_{2}$

$2s+2=3s-30$

$2+30=3s-2s$

$32=s$

The speed of the cars is 32 km/hr

Complete the point slope equation of the line through(-1,-10)and(5,2).<br>y-6=

Lynna [10]

Answer:

<h2>y - 6 = 2(x - 7)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope of an equation of a line:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

m - slope

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the poinys (-1, -10) and (5, 2). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{2-(-10)}{5-(-1)}=\dfrac{12}{6}=2$

Put the value of the slope and the coordinateso f the point (5, 2), to the equation of a line:

$y-2=2(x-5)$

In the question we have y - 6 = ...

Therefore

$y-2=2(x-5)$ <em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>

$y-6=2(x-5)-4$ <em>use the distributive property</em>

$y-6=2x-10-4$

$y-6=2x-14$ <em>distributive</em>

$y-6=2(x-7)$
