Amelia runs a catering business. Based on her records, her
weekly profit can be approximated by P = 2x2 - 44x – 150,
where x is the number of meals she caters and P is her profit.
When P is negative, Amelia has lost money.
1) What is the least number of meals Amelia needs to cater
in order to begin making a profit?
2) If she caters no meals one week, how much money does
she lose?
3) What is her profit for catering 50 meals?

32/80  

91/140

the last one 54 doesn't go into 45. 54/100 ?

step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
