So she had x oranges
she put the oranges into p boxes with 3 in each box and had 2 left so
total=3 times p+2 or
total=3p+2
P = 3r + 2s --> P - 3r = 3r - 3r + 2s
2s = P - 3r --> 2s/2 = (P - 3r)/2
s = (P - 3r)/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the Candy Factory sells candy by the pound, charging $1.60 per pound for quantities up to and including 20 pounds. Above 20 pounds, the Candy Factory charges $1.30 per pound for the entire quantity, plus a quantity surcharge k.
For the price function be to continuous at 
, the value of both functions at must be equal. Because a function is continuous if the right hand limit is equal to left hand limit.
Let us solve for k.
Therefore, the price function p is continuous at , when k is equal to 6.
Answer:
6 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The shorter tree is 4 ft shorter, but is growing faster. It is making up that difference at the rate of 24-16 = 8 inches = 2/3 ft per year. It will take ...
(4 ft)/(2/3 ft/year) = 4·(3/2) years = 6 years
for the two trees to become the same height.
_____
If you like, you can write an equation for the height of each tree (in feet or inches) and then solve for the time (t, in years) when the two equations give equal values.
In feet, we have
A height = 8 + (16/12)t
B height = 4 + (24/12)t
These will be equal when ...
8 + (16/12)t = 4 + (24/12)t
4 + (16/12)t = (24/12)t . . . . . . . subtract 4
4 = (8/12)t . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 16/12·t
4·(12/8) = t . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of t*
6 = t . . . . . . . . . the trees will be the same height in 6 years
_____
* This is 4·(3/2), which should look very much like the answer we got at the beginning. Note that this is the initial difference in height divided by the difference in growth rates. Multiplying by the inverse of a number is the same as dividing by the number.
