67 = -24x + 379\\

Begin by subtracting 379 from both sides of the equation.

This results in: -312 = -24x

Next, divide both sides by -24, which gives us: x = 13.

That corresponds to 13 weeks.

In the Ma-and-Pa grocery store, shelf-space is limited and must be used effectively to increase profit. Two-cereal items, Grano
Inessa [9006]
No. Allocate 2/3 of the space to Grano and 1/3 to Wheatie. This results in approximately 57% for Wheatie and 43% for Grano—meaning 60(.57)=34.2 ft² for Wheatie and 60(.43)=25.8 ft² for Grano. Therefore, there would be about 85.5 boxes of Wheatie and 129 boxes of Grano, leading to a total profit of 129(1)+85(1.35)=$243.75. The best choice would be to place 200 boxes of Grano and 50 boxes of Wheaties on the shelf. Allocating 40 ft² to Granos (200(.2)) and 20 ft² to Wheaties (50(.4)) means that 40/60=2/3=66.6% of the space would be for Granos, and 20/60=1/3=33.3% would be for Wheaties. The total profit would be 200(1)+50(1.35)=$267.5.

Lorne subtracted 6x3 – 2x + 3 from –3x3 + 5x2 + 4x – 7. Use the drop-down menus to identify the steps Lorne used to find the dif
Inessa [9006]
To simplify the expression:
-(6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7

Start with - (6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) = -6 x^3 + 2 x - 3:
-6 x^3 + 2 x - 3 - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7

Next, combine similar terms: -3 x^3 - 6 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x + 2 x - 7 - 3 = (-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3):
(-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)

-3 x^3 - 6 x^3 results in -9 x^3:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)

Combine 4 x and 2 x to get 6 x:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x + (-7 - 3)

The operation -7 - 3 yields -10:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10

Factoring out -1 from -9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10 leads to:
Final Answer: - (9 x^3 - 5 x^2 - 6 x + 10)

Thomas invested $8,500 for one year. Part of the money was invested at6% and the rest at 9%. The total interest earned was $667.
Zina [9179]
Let x represent the amount invested at 6% and y the amount at 9%.
The equation x+y=8,500 leads to x=8500-y.
For the interest rates, we know 6%=0.06 and 9%=0.09.
The equation becomes 0.06x + 0.09y=667.5 (substituting for x to use only y).
Expanding yields: 0.06(8500-y)+0.09y=667.5.
Solving this gives us 510-0.06y+0.09y=667.5 (-510).
This simplifies to 0.03y=117.5 (/0.03), yielding y=$3916.67 for the 9% investment.
Thus, X=8500-Y results in x=$4583.33 for the 6% investment.
