Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x-7)=16
-2x +14=16 You distribute
-14 -14
-2x = 2
-2 -2 you divide
and get -1 as your answer.
Hope my answer has helped you!
Answer:
The possible lengths of the third side is all real numbers greater than 4 inches and less than 20 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
<u>The Triangle Inequality Theorem</u>. states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side
Let
x -----> the possible lengths of the third side
Applying the Inequality Theorem
1) 12+8 > x
20 > x
Rewrite
x < 20 in
2) 8+x > 12
x> 12-8
x > 4 in
therefore
4 in < x < 20 in
The possible lengths of the third side is all real numbers greater than 4 inches and less than 20 inches
You would plug in 6 where the x is so it would be -4 times 2 plus 5(6)
19 trees should be planted to maximize the total
<h3>How many trees should be planted to maximize the total</h3>
From the question, we have the following parameters:
Number of apples, x = 18
Yield, f(x) = 80 per tree
When the number of apple trees is increased (say by x).
We have:
Trees = 18 + x
The yield decreases by four apples per tree.
So, we have
Yield = 80 - 4x
So, the profit function is
P(x) = Apples * Yield
This gives
P(x) = (18 + x) *(80 - 4x)
Expand the bracket
P(x) = 1440 - 72x + 80x - 4x^2
Differentiate the function
P'(x) = 0 - 72 + 80 - 8x
Evaluate the like terms
P'(x) = 8 - 8x
Set P'(x) to 0
8 - 8x = 0
Divide through by 8
1 - x = 0
Solve for x
x = 1
Recall that:
Trees = 18 + x
So, we have
Trees = 18 + 1
Evaluate
Trees = 19
Hence, 19 trees should be planted to maximize the total
