Answer:

$2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling them at 5 cents each ($0.05), he could sell 1 dozen buttons for

12 * $0.05 = $0.60

As he bought them at $0.38 per dozen, the profit per dozen would be

$0.60 - $0.38 = $0.22

As 12 dozen is 1 gross, the profit per gross would be

12 * $0.22 = $2.64

An ostrich can run 6 mph faster than a giraffe. An ostrich can run 7 miles in the same time that a giraffe can run 6 miles. Find
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

NOTE THIS IS AN EXAMPLE:

Let t = time, s = ostrich, and g = giraffe.

Here's what we know:

s = g + 5 (an ostrich is 5 mph faster than a giraffe)

st = 7 (in a certain amount of time, an ostrich runs 7 miles)

gt = 6 (in the same time, a giraffe runs 6 miles)

 

We have a value for s, so plug it into the first equation:

(g + 5)t = 7

gt = 6

 

Isolate g so that we can plug that variable value into the equation:

g = 6/t

so that gives us:

(6/t + 5)t = 7

Distribute:

6 + 5t = 7

Subtract 6:

5t = 1

Divide by 5:

t = 1/5 of an hour (or 12 minutes)

 

Now that we have a value for time, we can plug them into our equations:

1/5 g = 6

multiply by 5:

g = 30 mph

 

s = 30 + 5

s = 35 mph

 

Check by imputing into the second equation:

st = 7

35 * 1/5 = 7

7 = 7

Rewrite (2x + 8) + 4 using the associative property. Then simplify.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Example of Associative Property Addition:

a + (b+c) = b + (a+c)

Now, implement it to the given expression:

(2x+8) + 4 = 2x + (8+4)

That simplifies to:

2x + 12

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Partial derivative is derivative over only 1 variable.
here we have 2 variables so it depends on which variable you want to make partial derivative.

case 1. 
df/dx = -3y

case 2
df/dy = 5y^4 - 3x
