In supply (and demand) problems, y is the number of items the supplier will produce (or the public will buy) if the price of the

item is x.
For a particular product, the supply equation is y=5x+465 and the demand equation is y=−6x+652.

A) What is the intersection point of these two lines?(enter answer an an ordered pair) ______

B) What is the selling price when supply and demand are in equilibrium? price=$_______/item

Answer:

A) (17 ; 550)

B) $17/item

C) 550

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must calculate the intersection point of the two lines. Since in that point <em>y</em> has the same value in both equations, we can obtain <em>x </em>by equalling the two equations and then using that value for obtaining <em>y</em>:

5x+465=-6x+652\\5x+6x=652-465\\11x=187\\x=\frac{187}{11}\\x=17

So the value of <em>x</em> in the intersection point is 17. We now use this value with either one of the equations to obtain <em>y</em><em>. </em>Let's use the supply equation:

y=5*17+465\\y=550

So the intersection point is (17 ; 550)

Supply and demand are in equilibrium when the amount of items on supply are the same as the ones on demand. That is the point were the two lines intersect, which means the selling price is the <em>x</em> coordinate and the amount of items is the <em>y</em> coordinate, so that is a selling price of <em>$17/item</em> with a number of items of <em>550</em>.

Mate, this answer may seem odd, but I tried four times, but first you want 1/4 as a decimal, and it would be 0.25. Now take that a dived 36, and you'll get 144<span />

What percent of 40 is 14?
Lemur [1.5K]

First translate the question into an equation.

"What percent" means x/100, "of 40" means times 40, "is 14" equals 14.

So we have (x)(40) = 14 or 40x = 14.

Dividing both sides by 40, we find that x = 0.35.

Now, we want to write our answer as a percent.

So we move the decimal 2 places to the right and we have 35%.
