Olivia spends $4 creating lemonade, and sells the cups for $1 each. Nathan spends $5 creating lemonade and sells the cups for $0.50 eac. How many cups does it take for them to make the same amount of money?

2 cups

Step-by-step explanation: Olivia spends 4$ and nothing more. 1$ is her profit that can continue to gain and can be represented as 1x or x. x-4 is the equation to represent her profit. Nathan spends 5$ and 0.50$ is his profit which can be shown as 0.5x. 0.5x-5 is the equation to represent his profit.

Set those two equations equal to each other.  

Isolate x.  

Solve for x.  

Since x represents the amount of cups sold, you cannot have a negative amount of cups sold. Therefore, Olivia and Nathan must sell 2 cups to make the same profit.

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
