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.

What is x???????need help
gogolik [260]

Answer:

100 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle x is opposite the angle that is 100 degrees.

Since they are opposite each other, they are vertical angles.

This means that they are congruent, or equal to each other.

Therefore,

x=100

x is 100 degrees

A ten-foot-long board is cut into three pieces. The second piece is half as long as the first. The third piece is 4 feet longer
VladimirAG [237]
Let's say the second piece is x ft long
The first piece is 2x ft long
The third piece is x+4 ft long
All of the pieces should add up to 10ft
x+2x+x+4=10
4x= 6
x=1.5ft
The first piece is 2x ft long=3 ft long
