Farmer Jane would like to show a net profit of $1,000 per month. She is growing tomatoes and sells them for $3 per pound. Her variable costs per pound are $1, and she has $700 in fixed cost. How many pounds does she need to sell?

850

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pound of tomatoes costs one dollar to produce, and sells for three dollars. That's a net profit of 2 dollars per pound of tomatoes.

We need a profit of 1000 dollars, and to pay the 700 dollars in operating costs, for a total of 1700 dollars needed.

So 1700 dollars divided by 2 dollars per pound of tomatoes comes out to 850 pounds of tomatoes.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
