The equation that we can create from this situation is:

i = (190 – 5 x) * (29 + x)

where i is the income and x is the increase in daily rate

Expanding the equation:

i = 5510 + 190x – 145x - 5x^2

i = -5x^2 + 45x + 5510

Taking the 1st derivative:

di/dx = -10x +45

Set to zero to get the maxima:

-10x + 45 = 0

x = 4.5

 

So the cars should be rented at:

29 + x = 33.5 dollars per day

 

The maximum income is:

i = (190 – 5*4.5) * (33.5)

i = 5,611.25 dollars

Help pls and explain !!
Aneli [31]

Answer:

d) 5/3 x

Step-by-step explanation:

You substitute a for 2c and b for 5d, so your equation will look like this:

c/d - 2c/5d = x

Then you just simplify into x by making c/d into 5c/5d so you have a common denominator.

5c/5d - 2c/5d = x

3c/5d = x

5/3 is your answer
