Answer:

  40 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original production time. Then 70x is the order quantity involved.

When the same order quantity is produced at a rate of 80 items per day for x-5 days, we have the equation ...

  70x = 80(x -5)

  70x = 80x -400

  0 = 10x -400 . . . . . subtract 70x

  0 = x -40 . . . . . . . . divide by 10

  40 = x . . . . . . . . . . add 40

The original schedule was for production to take 40 days.

Find the inequality represented by the graph - khan academy<br> PLEASE HELP
Andru [333]

Answer:

y ≤ x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 1 (every unit for x, there is a unit for y, rise/run is 1/1). The y-intercept is -1, because the line crosses the y-axis at -1. The graph is shaded below the line, and the line is solid, meaning that y is less than or equal to x -1, or y ≤ x - 1.
