Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x/2 + 8 = 14
Subtract 8 from both sides because it is the inverse operation of addition. x/2 = 6
Multiply both sides by 12 because it is the inverse operation of division. x = 12

Answer:

the company should make 2307 muffins before the Average cost reaches $0.25/muffin

Step-by-step explanation:

the total cost of making the muffins is

Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost = $300 + $0.12 / muffin *Q

where Q = number of muffins

the average cost is

Average cost = Total cost / number of muffins = ($300 + $0.12 *Q) / Q = $300/Q + $0.12 / muffin

then for Average cost= $0.25/muffin

$300/Q + $0.12 / muffin = $0.25/muffin

Q = $300 / ( $0.25/muffin- $0.12 / muffin ) = 2307.69 muffins ≈ 2307 muffins ( we are rounding down since we want to find the number before the cost goes below 0.25)

then the company should make 2307 muffins before the Average cost reaches $0.25/muffin

Graph the linear equation

baherus [9]

For the equation
.. x - y = 4
you can divide by 4 to put the equation into intercept form. This form shows you both interecepts at once.
.. x/4 +y/(-4) = 1

The x-intercept is (4, 0).
The y-intercept is (0, -4).

The graph is shown below.
