<span>The canyon starts at an elevation of (-14.5). After each year, the elevation drops by (-1.5). The equation that could be written for this, then, would be (-14.5 - 1.5x = -31). First, we could add 14.5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the unknown. This would leave -1.5x = -16.5. Next, we can remove the negative signs so both sides of the equation are positive and easier to work with. This leaves 1.5x = 16.5. Finally, dividing both sides by 1.5 gives us "x = 11", which means that after 11 years, the canyon floor will be at -31 feet.</span>
The equation formula is y - y1 = m(x-x1)
Using the first point for x1, y1:
Y +13 = m(x-15)
M is the slope which is the change in y over the change in x:
M = -11–13 / 16-15 = 2/1 = 2
The equation becomes y +13 =2(x+15)
The answer is:
He incorrectly wrote the slope in his equation. He should have written y+13=2(x−15).
case 1,
Let the CP be ₹x,
SP = ₹2400
Profit = SP – CP
= 2400 – x
Profit % = {(2400–x)/ x} × 100%
According to the question,
{(2400–x)/ x} × 100 = 25
=> (2400–x)/ x= 25 /100
=> 100(2400–x) = 25x [ cross multiplication]
=> 240000 – 100x = 25x
=> 240000 = 25x + 100x
=> 240000 = 125x
=> 240000/125 = x
=> x = 1920
So, CP = ₹1920
case 2,
SP = ₹2040
Profit = SP – CP
= 2040 – 1920
= ₹120
profit % = 120/1920 × 100%
= 16%
<h3>Thus, his profit would be 16% if he had sold his goods for ₹2040.</h3>
2x+7x=747
9x=747
x=83
83(2) = 166
83(7) = 581
