Answer:
x=27.8
Step-by-step explanation:
first, you need to find y. 2y-5=65. 65+5 is 60 and you are left with 2y=70. to get the 2 off of the y you divide everything by 2. 70/2 is 35 therefor y=35. Now you plug that into the other equation (2x+y) and get 2x+35 which is equal to segment 90.6 so 2x+35=90.6. subtract 35 on both sides and you have 2x=55.6. To get the 2 off the x, we divide everything by 2. all of that divided by 2 is x=27.8
The best way to answer this would be making a graph
For 1 sign it costs 54.50 and he makes 15
For 2 signs it costs 59 and he makes 30
For 3 signs it costs 63.50 and he makes 45
For 4 signs it costs 68 and he makes 60
For 5 signs it costs 72.50 and he makes 75
This means that after 5 signs Larry will be making profit
