If you want x, rearrange <span>Z=y+mx as follows: mx = z - y. Then div. all 3 terms by m:
z-y
x = ------- (answer).

Answer:
P is exactly 3km east from the oil refinery.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's d be the distance in km from the oil refinery to point P. So the horizontal distance from P to the storage is 3 - d and the vertical distance is 2. Hence the diagonal distance is:

So the cost of laying pipe under water with this distance is

And the cost of laying pipe over land from the refinery to point P is 400000d. Hence the total cost:

We can find the minimum value of this by taking the 1st derivative and set it to 0

We can move the first term over to the right hand side and divide both sides by 400000


From here we can square up both sides






d = 3
So the cost of pipeline is minimum when P is exactly 3km east from the oil refinery.
The answer is -2. You multiply 1 X (Not 2), that would be the negation of 2. That equals -2. Everyone knows that a negative number times itself is just itself. So there is your answer.
The answer would be C; put your equation into a fraction (525/50) and divide. You should get 10.5 which, in a fraction, is 10 1/2
