Find a linear equation to model this real-world application:

it costs abc electronics company $2.50 per unit to produce a part used in a popular brand of desktop computers. the company has monthly operating expenses of $350 for utilities and $3300 for salaries. write the linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses in the form of y=mx+b.

do not include commas in your answer.

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

Solution:

Let "x" be the units produced in a month

It costs ABC electronics company $2.50 per unit to produce a part used in a popular brand of desktop computers.

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

The company has monthly operating expenses of $350 for utilities and $3300 for salaries

We have to write the linear equation

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses in the form of:

y = mx + b

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

Monthly Expenses = $ 350 for utilities and $ 3300 for salaries

Let "y" be the total monthly expenses per month

Then,

Total expenses = Cost per unit(number of units) + Monthly Expenses

Thus the linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

y=−9/2x+10

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve for y.

0−9x−2y=−20

step 1: add 9x to both sides.

−9x−2y+9x=−20+9x

−2y=9x−20

step 2: divide both sides by -2.

−2y

−2

=

9x−20

−2

y=

−9
