Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Nelson grows tomatoes and sells them at a nearby farmers roadside stand.
Let x = number of tomatoes sold
Let m = amount of money made for selling x tomatoes.
He sells them for $2.50 each. This means that he sells x tomatoes for 2.5×x = $2.5x
The farmer charges him $15 a day to use the stand. This means that he pays a constant amount of $15 each day.
Amount of money that Nelson will make will be total amount made in selling x tomatoes minus the constant amount being paid for rent. It becomes
m = 2.5x - 15 This is the general form. In the factored form, it will be
m = 2.5(x+6)
Answer:
5.8
or
5.830952
Step-by-step explanation:
Using distance formula
We have two formulas:
Adult tickets plus Student tickets = 550 tickets or A + S = 550
and
Adult tickets times $20 plus Student ticket times $10 = $7500 or
(A * 20) + (S * 10) = 7500
First let's get rid of one of the variables by re-balancing the simplest formula
A+S = 550
A+S-A = 550-A
S = 550-A
Now we can restate the second formula replacing "S" with it's equivalent "550-A"
(A * 20) + (S * 10) = 7500
(A * 20) + ((550-A) *10) = 7500
Then do the multiplication
20A + 5500 - 10A = 7500
and simplifiy
20A + 5500 - 5500 - 10A = 7500 - 5500
20A - 10A = 2000
10A = 2000
A = 200
S = 550 - 200 = 350
Now we should test the answers to be sure our work
is correct:
200 Adult tickets times $20 = $4000
350 Student tickets times $10 = $3500
$4000 + $3500 = 7500
4 is not a numerator up there I believeee
2x(x - 8) -5(x - 8)
= (x - 8)(2x - 5)
