Remove parentheses $(-a)=-a$
$15x-20=6x-(x+2)-x+3$
Group like terms
$15x-20=6x-x-(x+2)+3$
Add similar elements: $ 6x-x=5x$
$15x-20=5x-(x+2)+3$
Expand $5x-(x+2)+3:{\quad}4x+1$
$15x-20=4x+1$
Move $ 20 $to the right side
$15x=4x+21$
Move $ 4x $to the left side
$11x=21$
Divide both sides by $11$
$x=\frac{21}{11}$

You are planning to buy a car worth $20,000. Which of the two deals described below would you choose, both with a 48-month term? (NB: estimate the monthly payment of each offer). i) the dealer offers to take 10% off the price, then lend you the balance at an annual percentage rate (APR) of 9%, monthly compounding. ii) the dealer offers to lend you $20,000 (i.e., no discount) at an APR of 3%, monthly compounding.

The Humane Society has asked for our help again this week. Currently they are charging $50 for an adoption fee. Unfortunately they just pulled this number out of the air and do not know why they are charging this amount. They would like to charge an amount that covers all the adoption costs – both the variable costs for adoptions as well as the fixed cost for the kennel portion of the Humane Shelter operations. We can help them by doing a breakeven analysis. During a client meeting we gathered these facts. There are 2 part-time employees that each earn $1000 per month. The utilities for the kennel area (water, electricity) are $200 per month. The average food cost for animals in the kennel is $800 per month. In addition, each animal that is adopted receives a rabies vaccination that costs $4 and is micro-chipped that costs $6. At the current cost of $50, how many animals must be adopted to break-even? What would break-even be at a $60 adoption fee? What would break-even be if the fee were lowered to $40? The newspaper has suggested that the Humane Society advertise to increase pet adoptions. The package that they have recommended costs $1000 for a very small ad run every day for a month. If the Humane Society does this extra advertising, how will it affect breakeven? Based on what you have learned about elasticity, what price do you recommend for the adoption fee?

Farm Grown, Inc., produces cases of perishable food products. Each case contains an assortment of vegetables and other farm products. Each case costs $5 and sells for $15. If there are any not sold by the end of the day, they are sold to a large food processing company for $3 a case. The probability that daily demand will be 100 cases is 0.30, the probability that daily demand will be 200 cases is 0.40, and the probability that daily demand will be 300 cases is 0.30. Farm Grown has a policy of always satisfying customer demands. If its own supply of cases is less than the demand, it buys the necessary vegetables from a competitor. The estimated cost of doing this is $16 per case. (a) Draw a decision table for this problem (b) What do you recommend?
