A company that makes nails finds that it would sell 42 boxes of nails per month if they are priced at $20 per box. If the compan

y lowers the price to $10 per box, then more people would purchase nails and the company could expect to sell 52 boxes per month. Find the equation of the line for the demand equation if x represents the number of boxes sold and y is the price of a box of nails.
A.) y = 62 + x
B.) y = 42 − x
C.) y = 42 + x
D.) y = 62 − x

The answer is D.

If x = number of boxes sold and y = price of nails box, then it is best represented by the equation y = 62 - x.
Checking:
If y = 20 and x = 42, 
20 = 62 - 42
20 = 20

If y = 10 and x = 52.
10 = 62 - 52
10 = 10

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Find two points of each line

Line A    (-2, 0)   (-1, 2)

Line B    (-1. - 5)   (-6, 0)

2.- Find the slope and equation of each line

Line A

             m = \frac{2 - 0}{-1 + 2}

             m = \frac{2}{1}

                    m = 2

             y - 0 = 2(x + 2)

            y = 2x + 4

Line B

             m = \frac{0 + 5}{-6 + 1}

             m = \frac{5}{-5}

                    m = -1

             y - 0 = -1(x + 6)

             y = -x - 6

3.- Find the inequalities

Line A, we are interesteed in the lower area of the line, so the inequality is

                      y ≤ 2x + 4

Line B, we are also interested in the lower area of the line so the inequality is

                      y ≥ - x - 6

Alexus [3.1K]
Equation: L=P*R*T

P=100
R=1.5%=0.015
T=5

Multiply and you get 7.5 as the interest.

A coach purchases 47 hats for his players and their families at a total cost of $302. The cost of a small hat is $5.50. A medium
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small hat purchased, y represent the number of medium hat purchased and z represent the number of large hat purchased.

Since a total of 47 hats where purchased,  hence:

x + y + z = 47    (1)

Also, he spent a total of $302, hence:

5.5x + 6y + 7z = 302     (2)

He purchases three times as many medium hats as small hats, hence:

y = 3x

-x + 3y = 0    (3)

Represent equations 1, 2 and 3 in matrix form gives:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] ^{-1} \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}6\\18\\23\end{array}\right]

Therefore he purchases 6 small hats, 18 medium hats and 23 large hats
