Well to be honest, you need to straight forward to her and tell her that you do not appreciate her copying you and tell her you dont want to be rude or anything, but this needs to stop.
First, find the expected number of scooters rented per month:
As the data is symmetrical, E(X) (the expected value) is the middle value. So, on average, 2.5 scooters should be taken per month.
His total costs were 5 * 3000 = $15,000
So, to break even, he needs to make $15,000.
He will be selling for 5 years, or 60 months.
As a result, he needs to make 15000/60 = $250/month
As he is selling 2.5 scooters on average, he needs to rent each for:
$250/2.5 = <u>$100/month</u>
Multiply x<span> and </span>3
<span>Multiply x and 1</span>
<span>The x just gets copied along.</span>
<span>The answer is x</span>
x
<span>3*x evaluates to 3x</span>
Because of the minus sign
<span>3x becomes - 3x</span>
<span>The answer is -3x</span>
<span>Multiply y and 2</span>
<span>Multiply y and 1</span>
<span>The y just gets copied along.</span>
<span>The answer is y</span>
y
<span>2*y evaluates to 2y</span>
<span>-3*x-2*y evaluates to -3x-2y</span>
<span>The answer is -3x-2y-2</span>
<span>-3*x-2*y-2 evaluates to <span>-3x-2y-2</span></span>
<span><span>so the first one is right</span></span>
<span><span>
</span></span>
