Answer:
For linear equations we use:
p=mx+b ------ (1)
Now we have the following coordinates:
(x1,p1)= (1000,280) and (x2, p2)=(5000,400)
First we need slope (m)
m= 
= 
Now we will plug the value of m in the first equation
=> 
=> b = 250
Now plug into p=mx+b using only m=0.03 and b=250
When the unit price is $440, we can plug in 440 in for p;
=> 
=> 
=> x = 6333 refrigerators
The lowest price at which a refrigerator will be marketed, we can find this by plugging x = 0 in p=mx+b.
=> p = $250
Answer:
Weight of copper: 62,000 lbs. (31 tons). Weight of framework: 250,000 lbs. (125 tons). Weight of concrete foundation: 54,000,000 lbs. Thickness of copper sheeting: 3/32 of an inch, the thickness of two pennies placed together. the answer in 125
Step-by-step explanation:
16+5x =8x-5
Reorder the terms
16+5x = -5+8x
Solving for variable for x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add -8x to each side of the equation.
16+ -3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 5x + -8x=-3x
16+-3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
16+-3x = -5 + 0
16+ -3x = -5
Add -16 to each side of the equation
16+-16 + -3x = -5 + 16
Combine like terms: 16+ -16 = 0
0 + -3x =-5 + -16
-3x = -5 + -16
combine like terms: -5 + -16 = -21
-3x = -21
Divide each side by -3
x=7
Part a: the first cereal is y=7x and the second one is y=10x so they are $3 apart.
part b: y=7*4 (28) and y=10*4 (40) is $12 apart so she will save $12 each month.
In order going down:
5 3/5
6 5/6
4 2/3
10 1/3
11 2/3
