A company is selling books. It has to pay $500 to start printing the books, and once they have done that, the books sell at $14.99 each. How many books must they sell to make a profit?
First we would model an equation. X will be the amount of books sold, and Y will be profits (in dollars obv). They had to pay $500 before they could start selling, so we must account for that too.
This equation would be

because for every book sold, X increases by 1, increasing Y by 14.99
The answer would be 34 books sold in order to turn a profit. (500/14.99=
Mean = total score : frequency
mean x frequency = total score
so
83 = total score : 6
83 × 6 = total score
498 = total score
so the sum of the 6 test scores is 498
Triangle A:
y = 57.5°
x = 57.5°
Triangle B:
y = 5
x = 6.5
Triangle C:
... I apologize but I do not know what Triangle C is. Sorry!!
Triangle D:
z = 30°
x = 90°
(x+20) = 110°
SORRY THAT TOOK SO LONG--
Answer:
x = 12z + 1 and y = 10z - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the system of equations, we can use the substitution method
If we call
3x - 4y + 4z = 7 I
x - y - 2z = 2 II
2x - 3y + 6z = 5 III
Clearing II x = 2 + y + 2z
Now, replacing II in III
2(2 + y + 2z) - 3y +6z = 5
4 + 2y + 4z - 3y + 6z = 5
10z - y = 1 from here y = 10z - 1
Finally, replacing y in I
3x - 4(10z - 1) + 4z = 7
3x -40z + 4 + 4z = 7
3x - 36z = 3
3x = 36z + 3
x = 12z + 1
Done
