X + 5 + 11x = 12x + y
Simplify: 12x + 5 = 12x + y (We are adding x and 11x on the left side)
Subtract 12x from each side makes each zero.
5 = y
So we can plug in and test. I'm picking two random numbers to plug in for x. 10, and 82
x = 10, y = 5
10 + 5 + 11(10) = 12(10) + 5
125 = 125
x = 82, y = 5
82 + 5 + 11(82) = 12(82) + 5
989 = 989
So we verified y = 5
Answer: both the left and right sides go to +∞
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
End behavior can be determined by two things:
- Sign of the leading coefficient
- Degree of the function
<u>Sign of leading coefficient</u>:
positive: right side goes to +∞
negative: right side goes to -∞
⇒ Leading coefficient of this function is 3 so the right side goes to +∞
<u>Degree (exponent of leading coefficient)</u>:
even: both the left and right sides point in the SAME direction
odd: the left and right sides point in OPPOSITE directions
⇒ Degree of this function is 4 so the left side will point in the same direction as the right side.
Price per box, P = $1.45 .
Money left, M = $1247 - $472.70 = $774.3 .
Let, number of boxes are x.
So,

Therefore, they have to sell 534 more boxes.
Hence, this is the required solution.
