Answer:
174.25
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this equation I will assume you are 15 as this is a High School level problem.
1. Plug in 15 for x
-.85*15+187
2. Solve
-.85*15=-12.75
-12.75+187=174.25
Here's the equation for direct variation. k=y/x [ f(x)=y]
Find k
k= 48/8=6
6=y/2
y=12
Hope this helps.
3x + 4y = -12
X - Intercept: 3x + 4y = -12
3x + 4(0) = -12
3x + 0 = -12
3x = -12
3 3
x = -4
(x, y) = (-4, 0)
Y - Intercept: 3x + 4y = 12
3(0) + 4y = 12
0 + 4y = 12
4y = 12
4 4
y = 3
(x, y) = (0, 3)
Cost of goods sold - expenses = net income
do this for each year and compare.
