Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the number of potatoes is proportional to the weight, then we can write the equation ...

n/10 = 10/3.2

n = 100/3.2 = 31.25 . . . . . . . multiply by 10

There may be 31 potatoes in a 10-lb bag.

The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.

The largest factor that is in both these lists is 8, therefore, the greatest common factor os 8 and 24 is 8.

A retail company estimates that if it spends x thousands of dollars on advertising during the year, it will realize a profit of

Gwar [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the profit realized by the company is modelled by the equation

P (x) = −0.5x² + 120x + 2000, marginal profit occurs at dP/dx = 0

dP/dx = -x+120

P'(x) = -x+120

Company's marginal profit at the $100,000 advertising level will be expressed as;

P '(100) = -100+120

P'(100) = 20

Marginal profit at the $100,000 advertising level is $20,000

Company's marginal profit at the $140,000 advertising level will be expressed as;

P '(140) = -140+120

P'(140) = -20

Marginal profit at the $140,000 advertising level is $-20,000

<u>Based on the marginal profit at both advertising level, I will recommend the advertising expenditure when profit between $0 and $119 is made. At any marginal profit from $120 and above, it is not advisable for the company to advertise because they will fall into a negative marginal profit which is invariably a loss.</u>

Help? pls?? I've got the first part, just need a lil help

OlgaM077 [116]

Find the time it will take:

195 miles / 50 miles per hour = 3.9 hours.

1 hour = 60 minutes:

0.9 hours x 60 = 54 minutes.

3.9 hours = 3 hours and 54 minutes.

Add 3 hours and 54 minutes to the time it leaves:

3:30 pm + 3 hours = 6:30 PM

6:30 + 54 minutes = 7:24 PM

X(x+3) + 34 = (x +5)(x+2)

My name is Ann [436]

X(x + 3) + 34 = (x + 5)(x + 2)

First, expand to remove parentheses.
$x^{2} + 3x + 34 = x^{2} + 2x + 5x + 10$
Second, add '2x + 5x' to get '7x'.
$x^{2} + 3x + 34 = x^{2} + 7x + 10$
Third, cancel out ' $x^{2}$ ' on both sides.
$3x + 34 = 7x + 10$
Fourth, subtract '3x' from both sides.
$34 = 7x + 10 - 3x$
Fifth, subtract '7x - 3x' to get '4x'.
$34 = 4x + 10$
Sixth, subtract '10' from both sides.
$34 - 10 = 4x$
Seventh, subtract '34 - 10' to get '24'.
$24 = 4x$
Eighth, divide both sides by '4', leaving the 'x' by itself.
$\frac{24}{4} =x$
Ninth, since '24 ÷ 4 = 6', simplify the fraction to '6'.
$6 = x$
Tenth, switch your sides to get the answer.
$x = 6$

Answer: x = 6
