Y = 2x - 5
3x + 8y + 32 = 56
3x + 8(2x - 5) + 32 = 56
3x + 8(2x) - 8(5) + 32 = 56
3x + 16x - 40 + 32 = 56
19x - 8 = 56

x = 3.4
y = 2(3.4) - 5
y = 6.8 - 5
y = 1.8
(x, y) = (3.4, 1.8)
I’m sorry I don’t see a diagram for this. Could you please scan one?
Assuming the 2nd one is 4a^2 - 20a +25, it is the one you're looking for. It factors to be (2a-5)^2
Answer:
a. Based on this information, construct a linear demand equation for Yoda vs. Alien T-shirts, and hence obtain the weekly revenue R as a function of the unit price x.
- y = 640 - 80x ⇒ demand equation
- xy = - 80x² + 640x ⇒ weekly revenue
b. The university administration charges the fraternities a weekly fee of $500 for use of the Student Center. Write down the monthly profit P as a function of the unit price x, and hence determine how much the fraternities should charge to obtain the largest possible weekly profit. What is the largest possible weekly profit?
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we must determine the slope = (400 - 240) / (3 - 5) = 160 / -2 = -80
the demand equation:
y - 240 = -80 (x - 5)
y = -80x + 400 + 240
y = 640 - 80x
total weekly revenue:
xy = -80x² + 640x
xy - 500 = -80x² + 640x - 500
max. profit ⇒ x = -640 / (2 x -80) = -640 / -160 = 4
maximum weekly profit = -80($4²) + 640($4) - $500 = -$1,280 + $2,560 - $500 = $780
