Y=12.5x
because 12.5 is the constant and this is a directly proportional equation
In this situation the revenue is the total sales you make before all expenses.
To find the profit: 3000 - 1500 - 500 = 1000.
Your profit is $1,000.
Rewrite as (2^1/2 + 2^1/2)*(18^1/2-2^1/2) = 8
Answer: 28-6x
This is the same as -6x+28
===============================
To get that answer, you multiply each term inside the parenthesis by the outer term 2
14 * 2 = 28
-3x * 2 = -6x
So,
(14-3x)*2 = 14*2 - 3x*2 = 28-6x
----------
The distribution rule says
a(b-c) = ab-ac
which is the same as saying
(b-c)a = ba-ca
We can flip things around because we can multiply in any order.
