Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of soap that she makes and eventually sells.

She intially spent $72 to purchase soap-making equipment, and the materials for each pound of soap cost $7. This means that the total cost of making x pounds of soap would be

7x + 72

Lisa sells the soap for $10 per pound. This means that her revenue for x pounds of soap would be

10 × x = 10x

If she eventually sells enough soap to cover the cost of the equipment, then

7x + 72 = 10x

10x - 7x = 72

3x = 72

x = 72/3 = 24

She would need to sell make and sell 24 soaps.

The cost would be

72 + 7 × 24 = $240

The total sales would be

10 × 24 = $240

A dish has 212 bacteria in it. The population of the bacteria will grow ata rate of 80% every 2 days. How many bacteria will be
mr_godi [17]
If they are growing 80% for every twodays, it would be 40% for every one day.

Bacteria after 9 days = 212 * 9 * 40 / 100
= 763.2
To round up, the population of bacteria after 9 days would be 763, with a growth rate of 80% for every two days.

if the rate of change for one linear function is positive and for another is negative can they both be either increasing or decr
Alla [95]

Answer:

They can never be both either increasing or decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rate of change i.e. the slope of one linear function is positive, that means the graph of the linear function makes angle which varies between 0° to 90° with respect to the positive direction of the x-axis.

Therefore, the function must be increasing.

Again, if the rate of change i.e. the slope of one linear function is negative, that means the graph of the linear function makes angle which varies between 90° to 180° with respect to the positive direction of the x-axis.

Therefore, the function must be decreasing.

Hence, if the rate of change of one linear function is positive and for another is negative, they can never be both either increasing or decreasing. (Answer)
