x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
10x - 14 = 7x - 8
3x - 14 = -8
3x = 6
x = 2
Hope this helps!
1.25 + 0.75x = 5.45 <== ur equation
0.75x = 5.45 - 1.25
0.75x = 4.20
x = 4.20 / 0.75
x = 5.6.....the maximum number of snacks he can buy is 5 <==

Answer:
$880
Step-by-step explanation:
If r is the rent charged, then the number of $40 increments of increase will be ...
(r -800)/40
and the number of occupied apartments will be ...
120 -5(r -800)/40
The gross income (g) will be the number of apartments times the rent charged, or ...
g = r×(120 -5(r -800)/40) = (1/8)r(1760 -r)
The equation describes a parabola with zeros at r=0 and r=1760. The vertex will be on the line of symmetry, halfway between those zeros. The maximum gross income will be had when the rent is 1760/2 = 880.
$880 should be charged for rent to maximize gross income.
