Answer:

x = -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

0.4x + 2.9 = 1.5

Reorder the terms:

2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5

Solving

2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2.9' to each side of the equation.

2.9 + -2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9

Combine like terms: 2.9 + -2.9 = 0.0

0.0 + 0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9

0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -2.9 = -1.4

0.4x = -1.4

Divide each side by '0.4'.

x = -3.5

Simplifying

x = -3.5

Some kids are selling lemonade for $1.50 per cup at a high
BaLLatris [955]

A function that would represent profit based on the number of cups of lemonade is Profit = 1.5n - 14

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Some kids are selling lemonade for $1.50 per cup at a high school baseball game.  

They spent $14 on all of the items needed for the lemonade stand (cups, lemonade, table oth, sign, etc)

We have to create a function that would represent profit based on the number of cups of lemonade

Now, let the number of cups sold be "n"

Then , we know that,<em> profit = selling price – cost price  </em>

Profit = number of cups sold x price per cup – cost price

Profit = n x $ 1.5 – $ 14  

Profit = 1.5n – 14

Hence, the function is Profit = 1.5n - 14
