80,400 or eighty thousand four hundred
The answer is: [A]: He did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 + 3i) .
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________
Note the distributive property of multiplication:
_____________________________
a*(b+c) = ab + ac.
____________________________
As such: 4*(1 + 3i) = (4*1) + (4*3i) = 4 + 12i ;
_____________________________________
Instead, Donte somehow incorrectly calculated:
_____________________________________
4*(1 + 3i) = (4*1) + 3i = 4 + 31; (and did the rest of the problem correctly);
Note: - (8 - 5i) = -8 + 5i (done correctly;
___________________________________
So if Donte did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4*(1+3i)—and incorrect got 4 + 3i (as mentioned above); but did the rest of the problem correctly, he would have got:
_____________________________
4+ 3i - 8 + 5i = -4 + 8i (the incorrect answer as stated in our original problem.

3/4 times n=1
remember that when you multiply 3/4 by 4/3 you get 12/12=1 so it simplifies
remember that you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
3/4 ties n=1
multiply both sides by 4/3 to clar fraction
12/12 times n=4/3 times 1
1 times n=4/3
n=4/3
answer is n=4/3 or 1 and 1/3
This is a maximization problem so we apply derivatives here to determine the unknown variables in the problem.
In this problem, we represent x as the number of hats made, and y as the number of Afghans made by Mrs White.
Equation 1 relating to the time it takes to make these is expressed:
7x + 4y = 68
Another equation that represents inequality to the number of hats and Afghans respectively is expressed:
x<= 14
y<=11
the third equation expresses the income from selling these items expressed as
P = 21 x + 9y
we subtitute 1 to 3
P = 9(68-7x)/4 + 21x = 153-15.75x + 21 x = 153 -5.25x
So by trial and errror, x and y should be integers, we get two cases of which x and y should be
1) x = 4 ; y = 10
2) x = 8 ; y = 3
Subsituting to 3, P1 = 174$ while P2is equal to $195, Answer then is 8 hats and 3 Afghans in total.
