For these problems, x
will represent the number of items and
y
will represent the money.

The fixed costs for a certain item are $100 per week. The cost to produce each item is $6 per item.

Using this information, what is the cost equation? Give your answer in slope-intercept form:

y = 6x + 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the cost to produce each item and b is the fixed cost. Let's input the given values for m and b into the equation:

y = 6x + 100

This is the cost equation. $6 multiplied by x amount of items pluss the fixed cost of $100 gives you the total cost (y) to produce x amount of items.

Hope this helps :)

1. Equation are,

d(t)= 6 t+2 is the equation for team A

and, d(t) = 6 t is the equation for team B

2. No , team B will not catch up to team A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Team A is traveling 6 miles per hour and is 2 miles ahead of Team B.

x represents the number of hours

Then the total distance covered by A in t hours,

d(t)=6 t+ 2

And, Team B is also traveling 6 miles per hour.

Therefore, the total distance covered by B in t hours is,

d(t)= 6 t

Since, the speed of both teams are equal and already team A is 2 miles ahead of team B.

Therefore, for catching up to team A team B must be increase its speed.

Otherwise, It can not catch up team A.
