Well, the first 16 were about 16*75=$1200 extra. The last 8 were $720 lost. Thus, the total profit is $480. He bought them with $7200, which means the profit is around 6.67%.
Answer:
f(12) = - 20
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate f(12), substitute x = 12 into f(x), that is
f(12) = - 2(12) + 4 = - 24 + 4 = - 20
The error is in the second step they subtracted 3 from both sides but it was a 3x, which you can not do.
Correction.
9x+18+3x=1
12x+18=1
12x=-17
x=-17/12
X+6=y thats the answer i got
The perpendicular line will have a slope of b/a.
To find this, we first have to solve our equation for slope intercept form.
ax + by = c ----> subtract ax
by = -ax + c ----> divide by b
y = -a/bx + c/b.
So we know the slope of this equation to be -a/b. Since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes, we know we can simply flip the fraction and make it a negative to get the new slope of b/a.
