Answer:
25 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the equation we see that the thumb drives cost $200 which is why that is being subtracted. To calculate the break-even number of sales we need to make a total of 200 to cover the costs. We calculate this by matching the equation to 0 and solving for x...
0 = 8x - 200 ... add 200 on both sides
200 = 8x ... divide both sides by 8
25 = x
Finally, we can see that the committee will break even after selling 25 thumb drives which would make them $200 to cover all of their costs.
Answer:
x = -3
, y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following system:
{4 x - y = -12 | (equation 1)
-x - y = 3 | (equation 2)
Add 1/4 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{4 x - y = -12 | (equation 1)
0 x - (5 y)/4 = 0 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 4/5:
{4 x - y = -12 | (equation 1)
0 x - y = 0 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by -1:
{4 x - y = -12 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 0 | (equation 2)
Add equation 2 to equation 1:
{4 x+0 y = -12 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 0 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 4:
{x+0 y = -3 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 0 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = -3
, y = 0
Answer:
3 the rest of his classmate
There are 9 two-year-olds and 18 each of 3 and 4 year olds.
To solve this we could write and solve the equation below, letting x be the number of 3 and 4 year olds.
x/2 + x + x = 45
x + 2x + 2x = 90
5x = 90
x = 18
From here, we just divide 18 by 2 to get the number of 2 year olds.
