y = -24 + -2x + 2x2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying:

y = 2(x + 3)(x + -4)

reorder the terms:

y = 2(3 + x)(x + -4)

multiply (3 + x) * (-4 + x)

y = 2(3(-4 + x) + x(-4 + x))

y = 2((-4 * 3 + x * 3) + x(-4 + x))

y = 2((-12 + 3x) + x(-4 + x))

y = 2(-12 + 3x + (-4 * x + x * x))

y = 2(-12 + 3x + (-4x + x2))

Combine like terms  3x + -4x = -1x

y = 2(-12 + -1x + x2)

y = (-12 * 2 + -1x * 2 + x2 * 2)

y = (-24 + -2x + 2x2)

Solving:

y = -24 + -2x + 2x2

solving for variable 'y'

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying:

y = -24 + -2x + 2x2

answer: she must produce at least 9,000 windows in order to make a profit of $48,000

explanation:

48,000 - 12,000 = 36,000

36,000/4 = 9,000
