Answer:
<em>The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Application of Equations</u>
There is virtually no limit to the possible situations where equations can help to find the solution of specific problems related to areas like economy, where one could need to establish some important indicators about the business.
B. The fixed cost for Abstract Office Supplies to sell a new computer desk is $14,000. Each desk will cost $150 to produce. The cost function to produce X desks is
C(x)=150x+14,000
A. The revenue for each desk is estimated at $500, for X desks will be
R(x)=500x
C. The company will break even when the cost and the revenue are the same. We'll find how many desks need to be sold for that to happen. We equate
C(x)=R(x)
Or equivalently
150x+14,000=500x
Rearranging
500x-150x=14,000
350x=14,000
Solving for x
x=14,000/350= 40
The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even
7 people so first one shakes hand with the remaining people. that is 6
The 2nd person also shakes hand with 6 persons but we have already counted his handshake with first person. so we have to add 6-1 = 5 shakes for 2nd person
like wise 3rd person shakes hand with the remaining 6-2 = 4 people
4th person with 6-3=3 people
5th person with 6-4= 2 persons
6th person with 6-5=1 person
and 7th one with no one because already he has shaken his hand with everyone.
since these people shake their hands with others only once we just have to add the obtained values
6+5 +4+3+2+1= 21
totally 21 handshakes will be there in that room
Answer:
(3,7) and (-3,-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the system of equations, graph both functions. The (x,y) point(s) where the functions intersect is the solution(s).
