Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of single cone ice cream and let y represent the number of double cone ice cream.
Since the vendor stocks a maximum of 70 single cones and a maximum of 45 double cones. hence:
0 < x ≤ 70, 0 < y ≤ 45 (1)
The vendor expects to sell no more than 50 ice creams, hence:
x + y ≤ 50
Plotting the constraint using geogebra online graphing tool, we can see that the solution to the problem is at (5, 45)
Since the vendor sells single-cone ice-creams for $3 and double-cone ice-creams for $4.50, hence:
Revenue = 3x + 4.5y
At the point (5, 45), the revenue is:
Revenue = 3(5) + 4.5(45) = $217.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
first solve for y=mx+ b format
y-3= 1/2(x+2)
y-3= 1/2x+1
y= 1/2x+4
slope is 1/2; y-intercept is 4
Jewelery maker has
24 jade beads
30 teak Beads
She has to make necklaces with each necklace having the same number of beads
So we need to find the highest common factor for both 24 and 30
The factors for both numbers are as follows
24 -1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
30 - 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30
The highest common factor for both is 6
The greatest number of necklaces she can make is 6
Number of jade beads - 24/6 = 4 jade beads
Number of teak beads - 30/6 = 5 teak beads
So each necklace will have 4 jade beads and 5 teak beads
Answer:
x = 1 or x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
- The quadratic equation, x² + 4x - 13 = -8
We are required to solve the equation using the completing square method.
To do this, we use the following steps;
Step 1: We make sure the coefficient of x² is one
x² + 4x - 13 = -8
Step 2: Combine the like terms (take the constant term to the other side)
x² + 4x - 13 = -8
x² + 4x = -8 + 13
we get
x² + 4x = 5
Step 3: We add the square of half the coefficient of x on both sides of the equation
Coefficient of x = 4
Half of coefficient of x = 2
Square of half the coefficient of x = 2² (4)
We get;
x² + 4x + (2²) = 5 + (2²)
Step 4: Put x and 2 under one square and the solve the other side of the equation.
We get
(x + 2)² = 5 + 4
(x + 2)² = 9
Step 5: Get the square root on both sides of the equation;
(x + 2)² = 9
√(x + 2)² = ±√9
(x + 2)= ±3
Therefore;
x+2 = + 3 or x + 2 = -3
Thus, x = 1 or -5
The solution of the equation is x = 1 or x = -5
