Emily is solving the equation 2(x+9)=4(x+7)+2 where did she make an error
Wittaler [7]
Hello!

2(x + 9) = 4(x + 7) + 2

Distribute the 2

2x + 18 = 4(x + 7) + 2

Distribute the 4

2x + 18 = 4x + 28 + 2

Combine like terms

2x + 18 = 4x + 30

Subtract 18 from both sides

2x = 4x + 12

Subtract 4x from both sides

-2x = 12

Divide both sides by -2

x = -6

Where she did something different than me is her mistake

Hope this helps!

Given: 11x-6y=-1; x=8
wolverine [178]
To solve this, simply substiture 8 in for x, and solve for y.

11(8) -6y = -1

Multiply 11 by 8

88 - 6y = -1

Subtract 88 from each side of the equation.

-6y = -89

Lastly divide each side of the equation by -6

y = 89/6 is your answer.

Hope this helps!

A retailer who sells backpacks estimates that by selling them for x dollars each, she will be able to sell 100−x backpacks each
zvonat [6]

Answer:

x = 50

R = $2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question a quadratic equation,

−x² + 100x

To find the selling price, x, which will give highest revenue, y, we will find maximum value of parabola curve −x² + 100x

The value of -b/2a tells you the value x of the vertex of the function

−x² + 100x

here a = -1

        b = 100

Selling price = -(100)/2(-1)

                    =   50

 

R = −(50)² + 100(50)

  = 2500
