Answer:

x = -19

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x-26}{-9}=5$

Multiply both sides of the equation by -9.

$\frac{\left(x-26\right)\left(-9\right)}{-9}=5\left(-9\right)$

x - 26 = -45

Add 26 to both sides.

x - 26 + 26 = -45 + 26

x = -19

Mario eats twice as many as Yolanda. If Yolanda eats 6 walnuts every day, how many walnuts does Mario eat in a week?

stepladder [879]

let

x-------> walnuts that Mario eats in a week

y-------> walnuts that Yolanda eats in a week

we know that

x=2y-------> equation 1

y=6*7-------> y=42 walnuts

substitute the value of y in equation 1

x=2*42-----> x=84 walnuts

therefore

the answer is

Natsano has at most $55,000 to invest in the common stocks of two companies. He estimates that an investment in Company A will y

Aleks [24]

Answer:

A: $37500
B: $17500

Step-by-step explanation:

Natsano can satisfy his constraints by investing the first $20,000 in Company A, then splitting the remaining $35,000 evenly between the companies. For best return, he needs to invest as much as possible in Company B, but each such dollar (after the first 20k) must be matched by a dollar invested in Company A. That is, his investments should be ...

Company A: $37,500
Company B: $17,500

_____

The attached graph shows the feasible region of investments (doubly shaded). The vertex that maximizes the objective function (return on investment) is the one highlighted. (It puts the objective function line as far as possible from the origin.)

_____

Sometimes graphing the constraints is more work than necessary if there is some simple logic that quickly identifies the solution.
