Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

7 (x-8)=2x-31

Distribute the 7 to the x and -8 (basically multiple 7 with the x and -8)

7x-56=2x -31

Drag the 2x over to the other subtracting it from 7x.

7x-2x-56=-31

5x-56=-31

Drag the 56 to the other side and add it to -31

5x= -31+56 (or 56-31)

5x= 25

Divide 5x from 25 to get your X

x=25/5

x=5

Hope this helps!!

The cost, in dollars, of producing x belts is given by Upper C (x )equals 970 plus 12 x minus 0.076 x squared. The revenue, i

umka21 [38]

Answer:

$68.44 for each additional belt

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost and revenue functions are:

$C(x) = 970+12x - 0.076x^2\\R(x) =43x^{\frac{3}{4}}$

The profit function, P(x), is given by subtracting the cost function from the revenue function.

$P(x) = R(x) - C(x)\\P(x)=43x^{\frac{3}{4}}+0.076x^2-12x-970\\$

The derivate of the profit function gives us the rate at which profit changes:

$\frac{dP(x)}{dx} =P'(x)=32.25x^{\frac{-1}{4}}+0.152x-12\\$

For x = 484, the rate of change is:

$P'(484)=32.25*484^{\frac{-1}{4}}+0.152*484-12\\P'(484) = \$68.44/belt$

Profit is increasing by $68.44 for each additional belt
