Question 124669: Solve.
Suppose that the cost C, in dollars, of producing x items is given by
C= 2x squared - 20x +3500. How many items can be produced for $9500?
Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
9500=2x^2-20x+3500
2x^2-20x+3500-9500=0
2x^2-20x-6000=0
2(x^2-10x-3000)=0
2(x-60)(x+50)=0
x-60=0
x=60 items can be produced for $9,500.
