Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

$-6+5(1-x)=-13-7x$

1) Using the distributive property distribute the 5 to the equation in the parenthesis

$-6+5-5x=-13-7x$

2) Combine the -6 and 5

$-1-5x=-13-7x$

3) Add 1 to both sides.

$-1(+1)-5x=-13(+1)-7x$

$-5x=-12-7x$

4) Add 7x to both sides

$-5x(+7x)=-12-7x(+7x)\\ 2x=-12$

5) Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the x.

$\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{-12}{2}\\ x=-6$

89.75 scooter:7 1/4% tax

eduard

The question is find the total cost when the price is $89.75 and the tax is 7 1/4%

Total cost = price + tax

Tax = 7 1/4 % of price

Tax rate = [7 + 1/4] = 7.25 %

Tax = 7.25 % * price = 7.25 % * $89.75 = $[7.25/100] * 89.75 = $6.51

Total cost = $89.75 + $ 6.51 = $96.26

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

120 of design B

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit per dollar cost for design A is (2500/1750 -1) ≈ 0.43. For design B, it is (2100/1200 -1) ≈ 0.75. Design B is more profitable and less expensive to make, so its production should be maximized.

For maximum profit, 120 jogging pants of design B should be made each week.

_____

The budget of 150,000 would allow 150,000/1,200 = 125 pants of design B to be made. The production limit of 120 pants does not use the entire budget.
