Sagot :

Answer:

A: Ralph y = 10 + 7.50x

Frank y = 10x

B: x = 4, y = 40

C: x = 4 means that in order for the companies to make the same amount of money, they have to sell 4 shirts each. When the companies sell 4 shirts (or multiples of 4) they are making the same amount of money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because both equations are equal to y, set them equal to each other.

10x = 10 + 7.50x

2.5x = 10

x = 4

Plug in x to a y equation.

y = 10(4)

y = 40
