y = 12x + 10
Assuming that your question is multiple choice, the variables might be different.
The reason that it's represented as 12x + 10 is because there is a flat fee of $10 when you sign up. From then on afterward, every month you pay $12.
In this equation, the variable 'y' represents the total cost, while 'x' represents the number of months this service was in use.
5 - 6 = -1
2 + 7 = 9
-1 × 9 = -9
-9 would be the simplified answer.
Hope this helps!
For this case what we must do is find a quadratic function that is already factored.
This is because in the factored quadratic equations, it is easier to observe the zeros of the function.
In this case, the zeros of the function represent the time at which the company did not make any profit.
We have the following equation:
p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)
We observed that there was no gain in:
t = 3
t = 5
The other roots are discarded because they are negative
Answer:
a.p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)
50% is

We have two ways to do this, pick your favor:
either by fractions:

÷

(

Multiply by the reciprocal of

which is 2(flip it)

× 2 =
= 1.25
Or change them to decimals:


= 0.5
0.625 ÷ 0.5
0.5 I 0.625
multiply by 10 to make it easier to divide(it still gives us the same answer)
0.5 × 10 = 5
0.625 × 10 = 6.25
1.25
5 I 6.25
-5
12
-10
25
-25
0
0.625 ÷ 0.5 =
1.25
