Let 
be the most the manager can pay the suppliers.
Then, we know from the information given in the question that the manager needs a 30% markup based on cost.
Therefore, the guiding equation will be:
because $10 is the most people will pay for a neck warmer.
Thus, the above equation will become:
Thus, the most a manager can pay the suppliers for neck warmers and still keep the selling price at $10 is $7.69
I hope this helps you
x=2
g (2)=2^3-3.2^2
g (2)=8-3.4
g (2)=8-12
g (2)=-4
The answer is -7
2x-3(x+4)=-5
Multiply by -3
2x-3x-12=-5
Collect like terms
-x-12=-5
Move constant to the right to change its sign
-x=-5+12
Add
-x=7
Change the signs
x=-7
