Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out expression

(3x + 8) - (2x + 7)

Step 2: Distribute negative

3x + 8 - 2x - 7

Step 3: Combine like terms

x + 1

Step 4: Substitute

3 + 1 = 4

Answer: 4

Concept:

Here, we need to understand the idea of evaluation.

When encountering questions that gave you an expression with variables, then stated: "If x = a, y = b, z = c" (a, b, c are all constants), this means you should substitute the value given for each variable back to the expression.

Solve:

Given information

x = 3

Given expression

(3x + 8) - (2x + 7)

Substitute values in the expression

=(3 (3) + 8) - (2 (3) + 7)

Simplify by multiplication in parentheses

=(9 + 8) - (6 + 7)

Simplify by addition

=17 - 13

Simplify by subtraction

= $\boxed{4}$

Hope this helps!! :)

The average ticket price for a concert at the opera house was $50. The average attendance was 4000. When the ticket price was ra

kotegsom [21]

Answer

given,

opera house ticket = $50

attendance = 4000 persons

now,

opera house ticket = $52

attendance = 3800 person

assuming these are the points on the demand curve

(x, p) = (4000,50) and (x,p) = (3800,52)

using point slope formula

$p-50 = \dfrac{50-52}{4000-3800}(x - 4000)$

$p-50 = \dfrac{-2}{200}(x - 4000)$

$p-50 = \dfrac{-x}{100}+ 40$

$p = \dfrac{-x}{100}+ 90$

R(x) = x . p

$R(x) = x (\dfrac{-x}{100}+ 90)$

$R(x) = \dfrac{-x^2}{100}+ 90x)$

$\dfrac{d}{dx}(R(x)) = \dfrac{d}{dx}(\dfrac{-x^2}{100}+ 90x))$

$\dfrac{d}{dx}(R(x)) = (\dfrac{-2x}{100})+90)$

at $\dfrac{d}{dx}(R(x)) = 0$

$\dfrac{-2x}{100}= -90$

x = 4500

$\dfrac{d^2}{d^2x}(R(x)) = -ve$

hence at x =4500 the revenue is maximum

for maximum revenue ticket price will be

$p = \dfrac{-4500}{100}+ 90$

p = $45

Mr. Evan is paid $9.20 per hour for the first 40 hours he works in a week he is paid 1.5 times that rate for each hour after tha

faust18 [17]

That is incorrect. The correct answer should be $398.38
First you take 9.2 times 40 and you get $368 which is how much he got paid for the first 40 hours. now he worked 2.25 hours extra so you take 9.2 * 1.5 because he gets 1.5 times more for extra hours. Then you add that to the $368 and you get $398.38

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

r= 6p + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

r= 3n + 20

also given that n = 2p

substituting n=2p into the above equation

r= 3n + 20

r= 3(2p) + 20

r= 6p + 20
