Answer:
<u>Given</u>:
- R(x) = 59x - 0.3x²
- C(x) = 3x + 14
<u>Find the following</u>:
- P(x) = R(x) - C(x) = 59x - 0.3x² - 3x - 14 = -0.3x² + 56x - 14
- R(80) = 59(80) - 0.3(80²) = 2800
- C(80) = 3(80) + 14 = 254
- P(80) = 2800 - 254 = 2546
Answer:
Kevin is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k represent Kevin's age now. Then Brendon's age now is (k-3). Two years ago the relationship of their ages was ...
k-2 = 4((k-3) -2)
k -2 = 4k -20 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms
3k = 18 . . . . . . . . . . add 20-k
k = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Kevin is 6 now.
The answer i x=4/99 (fraction form )
Use the arithmetic operations to get the variable x on one side of the equation and everything else on the opposite side.
If something is being is being done to a variable, we undo that operation by using the inverse of that operation.
For example, if 10 is being added to x, we use the inverse of addition or subtraction.
18 - 7x = -20.5
We variable x is being multiplied by 7 and is subtracting 18. We need to undo all those operations.
18 - 7x = -20.5
-7x = -38.5
Now the variable is only being multiplied by -7. Reverse the operation.
-7x = -38.5
x = 5.5
So, x is equal to 5.5.
