Mr. Matthew was testing the only popularity of us custom-made belts and wallets that are marked differently some items were sold prior to the online launch date

Answer 1

Complete question is;

Mr. Matthew is testing the online popularity of his custom made belts and wallets that were marketed differently. Some items were sold prior to the online launch date.

The equation below represents the number of belts sold, s, x days after its online launch. S = 3^(x)

The equation below represents the number of wallets sold, s, x days after its online launch. S = 4x + 15

Using graphing technology, complete the statements. After ___ days, the total number of belts sold will be the same as the total number of wallets sold. The number of belts and the number of wallets Mr. Matthew sold after this many days is ___

Answer:

Number of days = 3 days

Total belts and wallets after 3 days = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the number of belts sold, s, x days after its online launch. S = 3^(x)

Also, we are told that the number of wallets sold, s, x days after its online launch. S = 4x + 15

Now, we want to find the Number of days that total number of belts sold will be the same as the total number of wallets sold using graphing technology.

The number of days will simply be the value of x where the two graphs meet.

I have drawn the graph of both equations.

From the attached graph, we can see that the x-value at where the both graph lines meet is approximately 3. I didn't take the negative solution because number of days cannot be negative.

Thus, x = 3

Putting x = 3 in;

S = 3^(x)

S = 3^(3)

S = 27

Similarly, Putting x = 3 in;

S = 4x + 15

We have;

S = 4(3) + 15

S = 12 + 15

S = 27

Thus,total number of belts and wallets sold after 3 days = 27 + 27 = 54
