Answer:9400 backpacks
Step-by-step explanation
since the number of packs to be sold in a is represented by x,
selling price for 1 week = 35x
cost price for 1 week = 15x
profit = 35x-15x = 20x
additional cost of production = 11,000
this implies that 20x - 11,000 7800
20x - 11,000 7,800
20x 7800+ 11000
20x 18,800
x 18800/2
x 9,400
at least 9,400 packs have to be sold each week to make a profit of $7800

Answer:
Linda: 3 ; Laura: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that Linda + Laura's age is 18, and that Linda is 12 years younger than her sister.
Let "Linda" = x , "Laura" = y:
x + y = 18
x = y - 12
First, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:
(y - 12) + y = 18
Simplify.
2y - 12 = 18
Isolate the variable (y). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First add, then divide.
2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)
2y = 18 + 12
2y = 30
(2y)/2 = (30)/2
y = 30/2
y = 15
Next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).
x = y - 12
x = (15) - 12
x = 3
Linda's age is 3, Laura's age is 15.
