Algebra.Com's Answer #360289 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! cost for supplies equals 5x^2 - 3x + 1 \n" ); document.write( "cost for utilities equals x - 9 \n" ); document.write( "total cost equals cost for supplies plus cost for utilities. \n" ); document.write( "this equals 5x^2 - 3x + 1 + (x - 9) which equals: \n" ); document.write( "5x^2 -3x + 1 + x - 9 which equals: \n" ); document.write( "5x^2 - 2x - 8 \n" ); document.write( "if we assume that x = 30, then we get the following: \n" ); document.write( "costs for supplies = 5(30)^2 - 3(30) + 1 \n" ); document.write( "costs for utilities = 30 - 9 \n" ); document.write( "total costs equals 5(30)^2 - 2(30) - 8 \n" ); document.write( "lets see how that works out. \n" ); document.write( "costs for supplies = 4411 \n" ); document.write( "costs for utilities = 21 \n" ); document.write( "total costs = 4432 \n" ); document.write( "since 4411 + 21 = 4432, the formula for total costs is good. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
