The manager of an art supply store decides to hold a Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale on tubes of watercolor paints. The sale is held for one week and a total of 280 tubes of paint were sold (not including the ones given away for free). If each tube of watercolor paint cost the store $7.25, how much money did the store lose by giving away the free tubes of paint?

$1015

Step-by-step explanation:

280 divided by 2 140 times $7.25 is $1015

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
