Start with the following simple equation: a=b (step 1) Multiply both sides by b: ab=b2 (step 2) Subtract a2 from both sides and factorize: ab−a2=b2−a2 (step 3) a(b−a)=(b+a)(b−a) (step 4) Simplify and add 1 to both sides: a=b+a (step 5) a+1=b+a+1 Now since a=b (the starting point of this proof), we can write this as: a+1=2a+1 And in the case where a=1, we have: 1+1=2+1 So, therefore, 1+1=3

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7

5   1/4   miles per hour

step-by-step explanation:

15   3/4 / 3 = 5   1/4

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

number of candles set =x

price of of x candles =p(x)

we are given

a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week

so, we get point as (200,10)

he finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week

so, we can find slope

now, we can use point slope form of line

now, we can plug values

we can use point

and find b

now, we can plug it back

and we get

now, we can find revenue

we know that

revenue = price*quantity

so, we get
