Use variables and set up equations.

3p + 4c = 40 \\ 5p + 2c = 34

Next, get one variable with equal coefficients.

3p + 4c = 40 \\ 10p + 4c = 68\ (multiplied\ both\ sides\ by\ 2)

Then get it alone on one side.

4c = 40-3p \\ 4c = 48-10p

Now we can use substitution. Since 40-3p = 4c, substitute 40-3p for 4c in the other equation and you'll get an equation with just one variable to simplify and solve.

40-3p = 68-10p \\ 40+7p = 68 \\ 7p = 28 \\ \boxed{p = 4}

We can then use p = 4 in an earlier equation to find c.

5p + 2c = 34 \\ 5*4 + 2c = 34 \\ 20 + 2c = 34 \\ 2c = 14 \\ \boxed{c=7}

3p + 4c = 40 ⇒ 15p + 20c = 200
5p + 2c = 34 ⇒ <u>15p +   6c = 102</u>
                                    <u>14c</u> = <u>98</u>
                                     14     14
                                        c = 7
                            5p + 2(7) = 34
                              5p + 14 = 34
                              <u>      - 14  - 14</u>
                                      <u>5p</u> = <u>20</u>
                                       5      5
                                        p = 4
                                  (p, c) = (4, 7)

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

in today's market supply and demand fluctuates. for example the recent demand for apple air pods. They came out in 2016 but were not very popular,But with the sudden increase in demand the amount sold has increased by 75 percent from 2017 to 2018. this could be graphed using the equation. f(x)=1.75x+16

with each unit on the graph equaling 1 million on the y axis

and the amount of years along the x but you must start at 16 along the x axis

in 2017 there was 16 million air pods sold and in December 2018 28 million were sold during that year
