<span>p= -1/10x+74
</span><span>we can write this as
p = -.10x + 74
</span><span>a) How much should be charged for a barrel of oil if there are 9 million barrels on ​ hand?
</span>p = -.10(9) + 74=73.1 a barrel
<span>​b) What quantity x will maximize​ revenue?
</span><span>r(x) = x(-.10x + 74)
r(x) = -.10x^2 + 74x
</span><span>Find the axis of symmetry of this equation x = -b/(2a)
</span>x = -74/(2*(-0.10))=370<span>x = 370 million barrels

</span><span>c) What price should be charged in order to maximize​ revenue?
</span><span>p = -.10(370) + 74
p = -37 + 74
p = $37 a barrel</span>

For each hour he babysits, Anderson earns $1 more than half of Carey's hourly rate. Anderson earns $6 per hour. Which equation c
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The total earnings of Carey  in t tours is 12 t - 2 .  

Step-by-step explanation:

For each hour he babysits, Anderson earns $1 more than half of Carey's hourly rate. Anderson earns $6 per hour. Which equation can be used to solve for Carey's hourly rate, c? 18 + ?T = 24 What number should be the coefficient of t?

Anderson earns $1 more than half of Carey's hourly rate.

Anderson hourly rate = $ 6

Let Carey's hourly rate is p. Let the time is t hours.

So, Anderson rate is

6 t = \frac{p t}{2} +1\\\\2\times 6 t = p t + 2 \\\\p t = 12 t - 2

Steve and Ben have some money in their wallets. If Steve gives Ben $3, Ben will have twice as much as Steve. If Ben gives Steve
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the money owned by Steve and y denotes the money owned by Ben.

Then, Steve gives $3 to Ben

Money left with Steve = x-3 and Ben = y+3

Now, Ben will have twice as much as Steve.

⇒ y+3  = 2(x-3) .............(1)

If Ben gives Steve $7

Money left with Steve = x+7 and Ben = y-7

Then,  the amount Ben has will be one-third that of Steve’s.

⇒ y-7 = \frac{1}{3} (x+7) ..........(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method, we get

x = 11 and y = 13

⇒ Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

What’s the gradient and y intercept for c and e and could u explain pls thx
kifflom [539]

Step-by-step explanation:

if you are given an equation of a form y=kx+b, k is gradient and b is y-intercept

in c you can write this equation as y=(2x/3)-2,so gradient = 2/3 and y-intercept =-2

in e:6y=2x+3

y=x/3+1/2,gradient = 1/3, y-intercept=1/2
