Answer:
The required number of plants is 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nursery P charges $15 per plant plus a $50 delivery fee on any order. Nursery Q charges $20 per plant and no delivery fee.
If x number of plants that must be delivered for the total cost to be the same at both nurseries, then
15x + 50 = 20x
⇒ 5x = 50
⇒ x = 10
Therefore, the required number of plants is 10. (Answer)
Answer:
negative 8
Step-by-step explanation:
A) -9
-7(x+9)=9(x-5)-14x
-7x-63=9x-45-14x
-45 -45
-7x-18=9x-14x
+7x +7x
-18=9x+7x-14x
-18=2x
(-18)/2=(2x)/2
-9=x
