Answer:
No they're not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x - 9) + 2x -1 -5(9 - x) - 2x
5x - 45 + 2x - 1 5x - 45 - 2x
7x + 46 does not equal 3x - 45
Explaining isnt my specialty, sorry
Alex bought all the string needed for $125.
It costs $18 for the remaining materials to make each puppet.
So if we closely observe then we see that here $125 is the fixed cost because its not going to change with number of puppets.
And the variable cost is $18.
In this case we can model a Total cost function C(x) for for x number of puppets as below

The total cost to make 50 puppets=$1025
20(1-p)
20(1-0.25)
20(0.75)
=15
so the sale price is $15
hope this helps !
