Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1) +5 = 2x -2

Distribute the 3 to the x+1

3x+3 +5 = 2x -2

Combine like terms

3x + 8 = 2x -2

Subtract 2x from both sides

x + 8 = -2

Subtract 8 from both sides

x = -10

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1)+ 5=2x- 2

Distribute the 3

3(x+1)+ 5=2x- 2 would equal

3x+3+5=2x-2

Combine like terms

3x+3+5=2x-2

3+5=8 So,

3x+8=2x-2

You want to get the numbers with x on one side

Subtract 8 on both sides to get 3x by itself

3x+8-8=2x-2-8

3x=2x-10

Then you have to get the 2x on the other side because you still want x on the other side so you do -2x on both sides

Which gives you

x=-10

That is your answer

Answer: b) 18.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the intial t-value is 1960 and the final t-value is 1990, then t = 30

$P(30)=\dfrac{100}{1+400\cdot e^{-0.15(30)}}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{100}{1+400\cdot e^{-4.5}}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{100}{1+400(0.0111)}}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{100}{1+4.4436}}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{100}{5.4436}}\\\\\\.\quad =\boxed{18.37}$

The cost, in dollars, of producing x belts is given by C(x) = 634 + 18x - 0.071 x^2. Find the rate at which average cost is chan

o-na [289]

Answer:

When 324 belts have been produced, the average cost is changing at -28 dollars for each additional belt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of producing x belts is given by:

$C(x) = 634 + 18x - 0.071x^{2}$

Find the rate at which average cost is changing when 324 belts have been produced.

This is $C'(324)$ . So

$C(x) = 634 + 18x - 0.071x^{2}$

$C'(x) = -0.142x + 18$

$C'(324) = -28$

So the correct answer is:

When 324 belts have been produced, the average cost is changing at -28 dollars for each additional belt.
