Answer:
150
Step-by-step explanation:
Each banjo sold contributes $100 toward profit. Then $15000/$100 = 150 banjos need to be sold to cover the $15,000 in start-up costs. A properly extended graph shows this.
1/4 =2/8+3/8 =5/8
1-5/8=3/8
X + y = 2
Substitute x + 8 into y
x + x + 8 = 2
2x + 8 =2
(Subtract 8 from both sides)
2x = -6
(Divide both sides by 2)
x = -3
Subsitute x = -3 into either equation to find y
x + y = 2
-3 + y = 2
(Add 3 to both sides)
y = 2 + 3
y = 5
Or y can be solved for using:
y = x + 8
y = -3 + 8
y = 5
Yes. This is true because 4 subtracted from 8 is 8-4=4. The value you get from subtracting 4 from 8 equals the same value you would get if you were to take the value of 2 and square it. Both equal 4.
