After the booster club sold 40 hotdogs at a football game, it had 90$ in profit. After the next game, it had sold a total of 80

hotdogs and a total of $210 in profit. Which equation models the total profit, y, based on the number of hotdogs sold, x?

Let's first establish what we already know for this problem.

x = total number of hotdogs sold
y = total profit from total sales of hotdogs

Let's also establish the other equations which we will require in order to solve this problem.

Equation No. 1 -
Profit for 40 hotdogs = $90 profit

Equation No. 2 -
Profit for 80 hotdogs = $210 profit

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION

From this, we can use the formula y = mx + b & substitute the values for x & y from one of the two previous equations into the formula in order to obtain the values of m & b for the final equation. Here is an example of the working out as displayed below:

Firstly, using the first or second equation, we make either m or b the subject. Here I have used the first equation and made m the subject:

Equation No. 1 -
y = mx + b
90 = m ( 40 ) + b
40m = 90 - b
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40

Now, make b the subject in the second equation as displayed below:

Equation No. 2 -
y = mx + b
210 = m ( 80 ) + b
210 = 80m + b
b = 210 - 80m

Then, substitute m from the first equation into the second equation.

Equation No. 2 -
b = 210 - 80m
b = 210 - 80 [ ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - [ 80 ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - 2 ( 90 - b )
b = 210 - 180 - 2b
b - 2b = 30
- b = 30
b = - 30

Now, substitute b from the second equation into the first equation.

Equation No. 1 -
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40
m = ( 90 - ( - 30 ) / 40
m = ( 90 + 30 ) / 40
m = 120 / 40
m = 3

Through this, we have established that:

m = 3
b = - 30

Therefore, the final equation to model the final profit, y, based on the number of hotdogs sold, x, is as follows:

y = mx + b
y = ( 3 )x + ( - 30 )

ANSWER:
y = 3x - 30

FIVE STARS AND BRAINLIEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER
Charra [1.4K]

For the given vectors \vec{a}=a_{1}\hat{i}+a_{2}\hat{j} and \vec{b}=b_{1}\hat{i}+b_{2}\hat{j}

The dot product of vectors a and b is defined as = \vec{a}.\vec{b}=(a_{1}\times b_{1}+a_{2} \times b_{2})

So, \vec{a}.\vec{b} = (4\hat{i}+3\hat{j}). (-4\hat{i}+4\hat{j})

\vec{a}.\vec{b}=(4\times(-4)+3 \times4)

= -16+12

= -4

What is the product of (2p+7)(3p+4p-3)
Alex

Answer:

The answer is C=6p3 + 29p2 + 22p – 21

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the product, we need to multiply each member of each multiplier:

(2p + 7)(3p2 + 4p – 3) = 2p · 3p² + 2p · 4p + 2p · -3 + 7 ·3p² + 7 · 4p + 7 · -3

                                   =    6p³     +     8p²    -     6p    + 21p²   +  28p   -     21

                                   = 6p³ + 8p² + 21p² + 28p - 6p -21

                                   = 6p³ + 29p² + 22p - 21

Therefore, the product of (2p + 7)(3p2 + 4p – 3) is 6p³ + 29p² + 22p -21
