<em><u>Correct steps are shown</u></em>

<em><u>Correct simplified expression is:</u></em>

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -5x + 3y+8

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given that: Mara simplifies the expression</u></em>

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4)

<em><u>Correct steps are:</u></em>

From given,

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4)

<em><u>Use the distributive property,</u></em>

a(b + c) = ab + bc

Therefore,

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -7x +3y + 2x + 8

Group the like terms

-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -7x + 2x + 3y + 8\\\\Combine\ the\ like\ terms\\\\-(7x - 3y) + 2(x+4) = -5x + 3y+8

Thus the expression is simplified

How Do I solve this I am quite confused
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$11,714

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = 0.7x² - 462x + 87,944

this is a quadratic equation that opens up

the vertex will be the minimum

From the quadratic formula the x coordinate of the vertex is

x = -b/2a

x = 462/(2 * 0.7)

x = 330

Plug in

c(330) = 0.7(330²) - 462(330) + 87,944

c(330) = 11,714

$11,714
