So what I did was I wrote down the problem 50 - 10x = 20.

The first step I did was take 50 and subtract it from both sides: 50 - 10x = 20
-50 -50
After that i cross out the so 50's and take 20 and subtract it to 50 which gave me -30. So when you write this down you rewrite it as: -10x = -30

Last step: take the -10 and divide it by both sides the cross out the two -10's cause it's going to be written as -30/-10 which would give you x = 3. So there is your answer, hope this helps. :)

a) 40 more; b) old factory: 10%, new factory: 16%; c) week 4

explanation:

a) at week 0, we see in the graph that the new factory produces 190 specialty items.

using the function, substituting 0 in for w,

$p(w)=230(1.1)^w\\\\p(0)=230(1.1)^0\\\\p(0)=230(1)=230$

this is a difference of 230-190 = 40.

b) the function for the old factory is written in the form f(x) = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the original amount, x is the amount of time and r is the growth rate. the equation for the old factory is $p(w)=230(1.1)^w$ ; 230 is in place of a and is the original amount; w is the amount of time; which means 1+r = 1.1. this means that r must be 0.1 or 10%.

for the new factory, we find the percent of increase to find the growth rate; the formula for this is

$\text{percent of change}=\frac{\text{amount of change}}{\text{original amount}}$

between the first two points, the amount of change is 220-190 = 30; this gives us

30/190 = 0.158 ≈ 0.16 = 16%

c) at week 0, the old factory has 230 while the new factory has 190.

at week 1, the old factory has 230(1.1) = 253 while the new factory has 220.

at week 2, the old factory has 230(1.1²) = 278.3 while the new factory has 252.

at week 3, the old factory has 230(1.1³) = 306.13 while the new factory has 290.

at week 4, the old factory has 230(1.1⁴) = 336.743 while the new factory has 337. this is the first week that the new factory surpasses the old.
