"Step 1: log 3^(x+1) = log15" is the step among the following choices given in the question that she did incorrectly. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.
so the company has an overhead of $600, usually that involves premises leasing and industrial equipment for the manufacturing of the product, that's cost. The cost to make each item is 50 cents, so if the company produces "x" items, their cost is 0.5x total.
so our cost equation C(x) = 0.5x + 600 <---- items' cost plus overhead.
the company sells the product for 85 cents, so if they sell "x" items, their total revenue or income will be 0.85x.
so our revenue equation is simply R(x) = 0.85x.
as you already know, the break-even point is when.... well, you break even, no losses but no gains either, how much you take in is the same amount that you shelled out, namely R(x) = C(x).

Do you have a picture you can upload? It’s most likely 24/2 = 12
No, because with the parentheses, you distribute the 2 to both the x and the 5, making that equation 2x-10
Answer:
- (x - 3y)(3x + y)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x + 2y)² - (2x - y)² ← expand both parenthesis using FOIL
= x² + 4xy + 4y² - (4x² - 4xy + y²) ← distribute
= x² + 4xy + 4y² - 4x² + 4xy - y² ← collect like terms
= - 3x² + 8xy + 3y² ← factor out - 1 from each term
= - 1(3x² - 8xy - 3y²) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the coefficient of the y² term which sum to give the coefficient of the xy- term.
product = 3 × - 3 = - 9 and sum = - 8
The factors are - 9 and + 1
Use these factors to split the xy- term
3x² - 9xy + xy - 3y² ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 3x(x - 3y) + y(x - 3y) ← factor out (x - 3y) from each term
= (x - 3y)(3x + y)
Thus
(x + 2y)² - (2x - y)² = - (x - 3y)(3x + y)
