Answer:

Equation: 15n = 200 + 5n

Number of T-shirts: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find an expression for the costs for 1 day for making n number of T-shirts and an expression for the income for 1 day for selling n number of T-shirts. Then we set the expressions equal and solve for n, the number of T-shirts.

<u><em>Expenses in 1 day: </em></u>

The expenses are a fixed cost of $200 plus the cost per T-shirt.

$200 plus $5 per T-shirt

We need an expression for the cost per T-shirt in terms of n, the number of T-shirts.

If she makes 1 T-shirt, she spends $5 * 1.

If she makes 2 T-shirts, she spends $5 * 2.

If she makes n T-shirts, she spends $5 * n, or simply 5n.

Her total costs for a day are:

200 + 5n

<u><em>Income in 1 day:</em></u>

All the income comes from selling T-shirts.

She sells 1 T-shirt for $15 * 1.

She sells 2 T-shirts for $15 * 2.

She sells n T-shirts for $15 * n, or simply 15n

Her total income for 1 day is:

15n

Now we set the costs equal to the income and solve for n.

15n = 200 + 5n           <---------   here is the equation you need

Subtract 5n from both sides.

10n = 200

Divide both sides by 10.

n = 20

Answer: She needs to sell 20 T-shirts.

  • First of all, a 2 foot kangaroo is casting a 7 foot shadow.
  • Next we do 7 divided by 2 which equals 3.5.
  • Since we know the shadow is going to be 3.5x the object size we have to divide its shadow by 3.5
  • 14 divided by 3.5 is  4 so the Eucalyptus tree is 4ft long

<u><em>    Your answer=4ft </em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Hope this helps!

The sum of two numbers is 28. one number is 14 more. find the numbers
ruslelena [56]
The numbers are:  "7 " and "21 " .
_______________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________
The numbers are:  "x"  and "x + 14" .

x + (x + 14) = 28 .  Solve for "x" ; and then solve for "x + 14" .
_______________________________________
 → x + (x + 14) = 28 ;

Rewrite as:

 →  x + x + 14 = 28 ;

 →  1x + 1x + 14 = 28 ;

 →  2x + 14 = 28 ; 
  
 Subtract "14" from each side of the equation;
 
 →  2x + 14 − 14 = 28 <span>− 14 ;

</span> →  2x = 14  ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;
     to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

 →  2x / 2 = 14 / 2 ;

 →  x = 7 . 
_________________________________________
So;  one of the numbers is:  " 7 " .

The other number is:  " x + 14 " ; which equals: " 7 + 14 = 21".

The other number is:  "21 " .
_________________________________________
The numbers are:  "7 " and "21 " .
