x - y = 14

given the ratio x : y = 5 : 3

then let x = 5x and y = 3x, hence equation can be expressed as

5x + 3x = 56

8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 7

Hence x = 5 × 7 = 35 and y = 3 × 7 = 21

Thus x - y = 35 - 21 = 14

The Naturally Made Bath and Body store pays $550 a month for rent and utilities. The average cost for its products to be manufac
skelet666 [1.2K]
To determine the equation to represent this situation, we can use 2.5x to show the amount of profit per product, and a y intercept value of -550 to show the cost for rent. Now, we have the equation y=2.5x-550.

The break even point is when the profits balance out the expenses, so in this case, y should equal 0.

0=2.5x-550

Add 550 to both sides...

550=2.5x

Divide both sides by 2.5...

x=220

So, our answer is 220 products.
