14 / 45
56 / 100 reduces to 14 / 45
First question:
1. Set equations equal to each other so 5x-9=2x+6
2. Put x's on one side so that 3x=15
3. Divide by 3 so that x=15
4. Substitute 15 in for x so that y=2(15)+6
5. Solve for y so that y=36
6. Thus the equations intersect at (15,36)
Second question:
1. Since for lines y=mx+b, and m=slope=3 you only need to write an equation with slope 3
2. y=3x+b, b can be any number
Answer:
3/4x < (x+6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1:
Fixed Cost, f = $20
number of balls = n
Cost of each ball, c = 4.32
Price of each ball, p = 8.32
Equation for total cost:
Total Cost of balls will come by adding the cost of all balls and the fixed cost
Total Cost = number of balls made × Cost of each ball + fixed cost
<em>C = 4.32n + 20</em>
Equation for revenue:
Revenue = Number of balls made × price of each ball
<em>R = 8.32n </em>
Part 2:
Use the graphing method to determine how many balls must be sold to break even
Breakeven means Revenue = total Cost
This happens at a point (5,41.6) where n = 5 is the number of balls sold
and C = 41.6 is the total cost
When 5 balls are sold there will be breakeven
R = 4n - 20
C = 4.32n + 20
Red line represent Cost
Black line represent Revenue
