Respuesta :

ANSWER

[tex]p(x) = 6x - 15[/tex]

EXPLANATION

The revenue from selling x necklaces is

[tex]r(x) = 10x[/tex]

The cost of buying x necklaces is

[tex]c(x) = 4x + 15[/tex]

The profit from selling x necklaces is

[tex]p(x) = r(x) - c(x)[/tex]

We substitute the functions to get;

[tex]p(x) = 10x- (4x + 15)[/tex]

[tex]p(x) = 10x- 4x - 15[/tex]

[tex]p(x) = 6x - 15[/tex]

Therefore the function for the profit is

[tex]p(x) = 6x - 15[/tex]
