Answer:

Simplify and solve and get x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x - 1/2= 1/3 + 5/6x

2/3x - 5/6x= 1/3 + 1/2

-1/6x= 5/6

x=-5

One number is 6 more than a second number, the sum of the two numbers is 330. what are the numbers?
maksim [4K]

Let's have the first number, the larger number, be <em>x</em>.  We'll have the second, smaller number be <em>y</em>.

We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.

We also know that 330 = x + y.

Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.

Now all we need to do is simplify the equation.  First, we subtract 6 from both sides:

330 - 6 = 324

2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.

So we have 324 = 2y.  Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:

162 = y

Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:

x = 162 + 6

x = 168

Let's check to make sure our answer is right.  168 is 6 more than 162.  162 + 168 equals 330.  So our two numbers are 168 and 162.

Max makes and sells posters. The function p(x)= -10x^2 +200x -250, graphed below, indicates how much profit he makes in a month
viktelen [127]
Here is our profit as a function of # of posters
p(x) =-10x² + 200x - 250
Here is our price per poster, as a function of the # of posters:
pr(x) = 20 - x
Since we want to find the optimum price and # of posters, let's plug our price function into our profit function, to find the optimum x, and then use that to find the optimum price:
p(x) = -10 (20-x)² + 200 (20 - x) - 250
p(x) = -10 (400 -40x + x²) + 4000 - 200x - 250
Take a look at our profit function. It is a normal trinomial square, with a negative sign on the squared term. This means the curve is a downward facing parabola, so our profit maximum will be the top of the curve.
By taking the derivative, we can find where p'(x) = 0 (where the slope of p(x) equals 0), to see where the top of profit function is.
p(x) = -4000 +400x -10x² + 4000 -200x -250
p'(x) = 400 - 20x -200
0 = 200 - 20x
20x = 200
x = 10                         
p'(x) = 0 at x=10. This is the peak of our profit function. To find the price per poster, plug x=10 into our price function:
price = 20 - x
price = 10
Now plug x=10 into our original profit function in order to find our maximum profit:
<span>p(x)= -10x^2 +200x -250
p(x) = -10 (10)</span>² +200 (10) - 250
<span>p(x) = -1000 + 2000 - 250
p(x) = 750

Correct answer is C)
