<u>Information:</u>
Fixed Cost = $32,634
Variable Cost = $8.75 per book.
Selling Price = $24.50 per book.
<u>Define x:</u>
Let x be the number of books sold.
<u>Construct Equation:</u>
For production cost to be equal auto money from sales:
⇒ 24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x
<u>Solve x:
</u>
24.5x = 32634 + 8.75x
Take away 8.75x from both sides:
15.75x = 32634
Divide both sides by 15.75:
x = 2072
Answer: The publisher must sell 2072 books.
The mistake is there is no parenthesis around 4x+12

Answer:
C. (-4, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point where the lines cross is the solution to both equations. That point is in the third quadrant, where both coordinate values are negative.
The x-coordinate of the point is listed first, so the solution is ...
(x, y) = (-4, -3)
Let x be the amount of cement and y be the amount of sand. If <span>the ratio of cement to sand for mortar is 1:3, then

and y=3x.
</span>
So, if <span>Sandy puts in x=7 shovels of cement, then she puts

shovels of sand.
</span><span>
</span><span>
Answer: 21 shovels of sand.
