Answer:
x = 3 , y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that both equations is equal to y. Set the two equations equal to each other
y = 7x - 8; y = 5x - 2
7x - 8 = y = 5x - 2
7x - 8 = 5x - 2
Isolate the x. Subtract 5x and add 8 to both sides
7x (-5x) - 8 (+8) = 5x (-5x) - 2 (+8)
7x - 5x = -2 + 8
Simplify.
(7x - 5x) = (-2 + 8)
2x = 6
Isolate the x. Divide 2 from both sides
(2x)/2 = (6)/2
x = 6/2
x = 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plug in 3 for x in one of the equations.
y = 7x - 8
y = 7(3) - 8
Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS.
y = 7(3) - 8
y = 21 - 8
y = 13
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 3, y = 13 is your answer
~
2250 + 6x = 16x
2250 = 16x - 6x
2250 = 10x
2250/10 = x
225 = x <=== they must sell 225 cameras to equal daily costs
if they increase production by 50.......x = 225 + 50 = 275
16(275) - 6(275) - 2250 = 4400 - 1650 - 2250 = 4400 - 3900 = 500.
Their daily profit would be $500.
Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
slope = -3 -1 / 0 + 2
slope = -4 / 2
simplify = -2
