Your first line calculation is already true but reversed. The demand will decrease (that mean the formula would be minus) by 20 gallons for every $0.4 price increase, which means 50 gallons/$. To find the formula you need to insert one sample of either the first equation (65gallon and $3.1) or 2nd equation (45 gallons and $3.5). The formula for demand should be:

q= C - 50p
65 gallon= C- 3.1 * 50 
C= 65 gallon + 155 gallon= 220 gallon

The formula would be:
q= 220- 50p

So the second question can be solved by putting 0 on the Q. It would be:
q= 220- 50p
0=220-50p
50p=220
p= $4.4

Solve |p+8| over 2 =5
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

p = 2 or p = - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

given \frac{|p+8|}{2} = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

| p + 8 | = 10

The expression inside the absolute value can be positive or negative

that is p + 8 = ± 10

p + 8 = 10 ⇒ p = 10 - 8 = 2

p + 8 = - 10 ⇒ p = - 10 - 8 = - 18
