3x = x / 2
Mmc (2,1) = 2
6x = x
6x- x = 0
5x= 0
x = 0/5
x = 0
Hope this helps! Good luck!
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.
Sally paints at a rate of 1/7th room / hour
Steve paints at a rate of 1/6th room / hour
If they both painted together, they would paint 1/7 + 1/6 = 13/42 room/hour
so to paint the whole room, it would take 1/(13/42) = 42/13 =
<u>
3.23 hours (3 significant figures)</u>
