Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x+18-1x+4=34
step 1 combine like terms
-2x+-1x=-3x
18+4=22
-3x+22=34
step 2 subtract each side by 22
-3x=12
step 3 divide each side by -3
x=-4

A toy company needs to profit at least $500 from selling cars and trucks. A car can make a profit $2 while the truck can $3 profit.
let x be the number of cars
let y be the number of truck
If 200 resources for the car per week, we have:
Profit = $2x + $3y
$500 = $2*200 + $3*y
$500 - $400 = $3y
100 = 3y
y =100/3 = 33.33
The number of trucks needs to produce per week is at least 34 pieces.
Each time they assume the sum<span> is </span>rational<span>; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an </span>irrational number<span> is equal to a </span>rational number<span>). Since the assumption that the </span>sum of a rational<span> and </span>irrational number<span> is </span>rational<span>leads to a contradiction, the </span>sum<span> must be </span>irrational<span>.</span>
