We use percents when we buy items, when we do math in school, when we do bills, and grade tests. Example: there is a 5% off sale. And for the test you got 91%, or your mom has to may bills every day almost. If this helped, thank me please. If this really helped, do all plus including crown me bainleist answer. Rate, and comment it helps me to improve my answering so I can do better to help you. :D Thank you......

What does it mean to eliminate a variable?

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The elimination method for solving systems of linear equations uses the addition property of equality. You can add the same value to each side of an equation.

So if you have a system: x – 6 = −6 and x + y = 8, you can add x + y to the left side of the first equation and add 8 to the right side of the equation. And since x + y = 8, you are adding the same value to each side of the first equation.

Find the rate of change of total revenue, cost, and profit with respect to time. Assume that R(x) and C(x) are in dollars. R

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the Total revenue R(x) = 2x

Cost C(x) = 0.01x²+0.3x+30 where;

x = 30 and dx/dt = 9units per day.

Rate of change of revenue dR/dt = dR/dx • dx/dt

dR/dt = 2dx/dt

dR/dt = 2(9) = $18

Rate of change of revenue with respect to time is 18dollars/day.

Rate of change of cost dC/dt = dC/dx • dx/dt

dC/dt = (0.02x+0.3)dx/dt

dC/dt at x = 30 and dx/dt = 9 will give;

dC/dt = {0.02(30)+0.3}×9

dC/dt = (0.6+0.3) × 9

dC/dt = 0.9×9

dC/dt = $8.1

Rate of change of cost with respect to time is 8.1dollars/day

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Profit = 18-8.1

Daily Profit = $9.9

Terry and Callie do word processing. For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can. If they wor

Dahasolnce [82]

Time taken by jerry alone is 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone is 8.1 hours

Solution:

Given:- For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can

Let the time taken by Terry be "a" hours

So, the time taken by Callie will be (a-2) hours

Hence, the efficiency of Callie and Terry per hour is $\frac{1}{a-2} \text { and } \frac{1}{a} \text { respectively }$

If they work together they can do the entire prospectus in five hours

$\text {So, } \frac{1}{a-2}+\frac{1}{a}=\frac{1}{5}$

On cross-multiplication we get,

$\frac{a+(a-2)}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{2 a-2}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}$

On cross multiplication ,we get

$\begin{array}{l}{5 \times(2 a-2)=a \times(a-2)} \\\\ {10 a-10=a^{2}-2 a} \\\\ {a^{2}-2 a-10 a+10=0} \\\\ {a^{2}-12 a+10=0}\end{array}$

using quadratic formula:-

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

$x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}$

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{104}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm 2 \sqrt{26}}{2}} \\\\ {x=6 \pm \sqrt{26}=6 \pm 5.1} \\\\ {x=10.1 \text { or } x=0.9}\end{array}$

If we take a = 0.9, then while calculating time taken by callie = a - 2 we will end up in negative value

Let us take a = 10.1

So time taken by jerry alone = a = 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone = a - 2 = 10.1 - 2 = 8.1 hours
