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.

mafiozo [28]

Answer: "13,000 books" represents the population.

"200" books represents the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A population is the term that denotes a whole large possible group of individuals, objects, events or measurements.
  • A subset of population is known as ample.
  • When population is too large to the researcher  , then it uses sample to represent the entire population.

Here,  "13,000 books" represents the population.

"200" books represents the sample which is a subset of 13,000 books.

Which equation represents the graph
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

y= 3|x|+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the graph for |x| is shown on the attached picture

Since the picture you show tell us that y=5 when x=0

we have something like the following y=a|x|+5, where 'a' is a constant that represents the slope of the line (whether is the line from one side of the 'y' axis or from the other), we can see that, when x=1, y=8, so we have another point

we can use the equation for slopes using points 1 (0,5) and 2 (1,8)

thus we have that a=\frac{8-5}{1-0}=3

So the answer is y= 3|x|+5

What is the slope of the line?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The slope of the line is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

I chose the points (-2,3) and (0,-3)

The slope formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\frac{-3-3}{0-(-2)} ==> \frac{-3-3}{0+2} ==> \frac{-6}{2} = -3

Our final answer is -3.

Hope that helps!
