750 bikes would be sold for $350

Let x represent the number of bikes sold per month and y represent the price.

550 bikes are sold at a price of $250, this can be represented by (550, 250). Also, 750 bikes is sold at a price of $150, hence it is represented by (750, 150)

A linear function is represented by:

y = mx + b

m is the slope, b is the y intercept.

Therefore the function is:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\\\y-250=\frac{150-250}{750-550}  (x-550)\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x-25

The number of bikes sold for $350 is:

350 = (1/2)x - 25

x = 750

Therefore 750 bikes would be sold for $350

Kevin has 10 signs. he's adding 5 signs, so divide 10 to 5 to get 2

Harvey has 5 in 1 minute, i would say in 2 minutes he'll have 10

Fran adds $25 to her $150 then she'll get $175.

Step-by-step explanation:

P= Parentheses  

E= Exponent      

M= Multiplication

C, because when you add 45 on both sides, and then after that when you have to subtract 15 in both sides, you get 0 = 120.

The surface area of this rectangular prism is 34 square centimeters. What is the volume is the width is 1 cm, the length is 2 cm
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: 10\ cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The surface area of a rectangular prism is 34\ cm^2

Width of prism w=1\ cm

Length of prism l=2\ cm

height of prism h=x\ cm

Surface area is given by

S.A.=2[lw+wh+hl]

Put values

34=2[2\times 1+1\times x+2x]\\17=2+3x\\15=3x\\x=5\ cm

Now, the volume of Prism is given by

V=l\times w\times h

\Rightarrow V=2\times1\times 5=10\ cm^3
