The steps below are presented in order to arrive to the value of k of the given equation.
First, multiply both sides of the equation by the variable k since the left-hand side of the equation has it in the denominator. This will be,
(k + 12/ k)(k) = 8(k)
Then, we simplify,
k + 12 = 8k
We then, subtract 8k to both sides of the equation,
k - 8k + 12 = 8k - 8k
Simplifying,
-7k + 12 = 0
Then, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation and divide both sides by -7. This will us the final answer of,
k = 12/7
3.99-1 = 2.99 they lose 2.99 per burger
Multiply the number of people by the amount lost per burger:
2.99 x 86,047 = 257,280.53
They would lose: $257,280.53
The monthly charges became equal when:
60+0.05x=45+0.15x
where x the number of minutes.
60-45=0.15x - 0.05x
15=x(0.15-0.05)
x=15/0.1 = 150 minutes
1/3(2)=area
so the area is 2
