\n" );
document.write( "300x + $400y = 24000. What do x and Y represent? Graph the equation. How many solutions are there to the equation? How many solutions are there to the equation given that the number of ads of each type must be a whole number? \n" );

Algebra.Com's Answer #162054 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Ad company has $24000 to spend on ads. Radio ad+ $300/30 sec, TV ad $400/30 sec \n" ); document.write( "300x + $400y = 24000. \n" ); document.write( " What do x and Y represent? \n" ); document.write( "x = no. of radio ads \n" ); document.write( "y = no. of TV ads \n" ); document.write( "; \n" ); document.write( " Graph the equation. \n" ); document.write( "We want the graph in the general y= form \n" ); document.write( "300x + $400y = 24000 \n" ); document.write( "; \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 300x from both sides \n" ); document.write( "400y = 2400 - 300x \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Simplify, divide by 100 \n" ); document.write( "4y = 24 - 3x \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4 \n" ); document.write( "y = 6 - .75x \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Plot the graph using points x=0; y=6; and x=4; y=3 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "How many solutions are there to the equation? \n" ); document.write( "There are 9 solutions for integer values for x; from 0 to 8 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( " How many solutions are there to the equation given that the number of ads of each type must be a whole number? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "If you require y to be an integer also, only 3, x=0, y=6; x=4, y=3; x=8 y=0 \n" ); document.write( " |
