B is the midpoint of AC. AB = 5x-7, BC = 3x - 5. Find the value of x. А B C

NemiM [27]

Answer:

the value of x is 1......

as we know B is the midpoint....

then,

5x-7=3x-5

5x-3x=-5+7

2x=2

x=2/2

x=1

The total cost (in dollars) for a company to manufacture and sell x items per week is C = 40 x + 640 , whereas the revenue broug

ikadub [295]

Answer:

The company must sell 60 or 70 items to obtain a weekly profit of 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost of a given task, therefore:

$\text{profit} = R - C\\\text{profit} = 66*x - 0.2*x^2 - (40*x + 640)\\\text{profit} = 66*x - 0.2*x^2 - 40*x - 640\\\text{profit} = - 0.2*x^2 + 26*x - 640$

To have a profit of 200, we need to sell:

$-0.2*x^2 + 26*x - 640 = 200\\-0.2*x^2 + 26*x -840 = 0\text{ } *\frac{-1}{0.2}\\x^2 -130 + -4200 = 0\\x_{1,2} = \frac{-(-130) \pm \sqrt{(-130)^2 - 4*1*(-4200)}}{2*1}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm \sqrt{16900 + 16800}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm \sqrt{100}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm 10}{2}\\x_{1} = \frac{130 + 10}{2} = \frac{140}{2} = 70\\ x_{2} = \frac{130 - 10}{2} = \frac{120}{2} = 60$

The company must sell 60 or 70 items to obtain a weekly profit of 200.

The rate at which a professional tennis player used carbohydrates during a strenuous workout was found to be 1.7 grams per minut

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

m=1.7

C=68 gr

Step-by-step explanation:

Function Modeling

We are given a relationship between the carbohydrates used by a professional tennis player during a strenuous workout and the time in minutes as 1.7 grams per minute. Being C the carbohydrates in grams and t the time in minutes, the model is

$C=1.7t$

The slope m of the line is the coefficient of the independent variable, thus m=1.7

The graph of C vs t is shown in the image below.

To find how many carbohydrates the athlete would use in t=40 min, we plug in the value into the equation

$C=1.7\cdot 40=68\ gr$

Ronald measured a house and its lot and made a scale drawing. The front patio, which is 14 meters wide in real life, is 7 millim

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

2 metre= 1millimetre

Step-by-step explanation:

From the measurement of the house The front patio, is 14 meters wide in real life, is 7 millimeters wide in the drawing

Real life= 14 meters

Drawing= 7 millimeters,

The scale he used is 2 metre= 1millimetre

Which means he magnify the drawing by scale of 2 metre to get the real life structure.

✓Let us clarify it

14 meters = 7 millimeters

2 metre= x millimeter

If we cross multiply

7 millimeters× 2 metre= 14 metre × X millimeters

Make X subject of the formula we have

X= 1millimetres

-2(bx - 5) = 16 What’s does b and x equal?

horrorfan [7]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
You have the following equation given in the problem above:
-2(bx - 5) = 16
 When you solve for bx, you have:
-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx-10=16
-2bx=26
bx=26/-2
bx=-13

When you solve for b, you obtain:
-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx=26
b=-(26/2x)

When yoo solve for x:
2bx=26
x=-(26/2b)
