Assuming that the pool was drained at a constant rate, the speed at which it was drained can be expressed as a function of time. In this case, the pool level will be expressed in feet per hour.
The time changed by 4 hours (6-2), and the level of the pool changed by -8 feet (2-10). Diving the feet by the hours to get the rate of decreasing depth, we find that the rate equals -2 feet/hour.
-5 is on the left side of zero (negative) and 5 is on the right side of zero (positive). So, 5 is the answer...
(x,y,z)=(-4,-2,-5)
I added some images for explanation
Suppose x books are produced by both methods.
Total cost for method 1 = 60346 + 10.5x
Total cost for method 2 = 18682 + 21x
Cost of method 1 = Cost of method 2
60346 + 10.5x = 18682 + 21x
60346 - 18682 = 21x - 10.5x
41664 = 10.5x
x = 41664/10.5
x = 3968
For 3968 books produced the cost by both methods will be the same.
Answer:
-64
