amistre64 · Answer

you dont have the same equations we cam up with, is this a different problem? or did you leave some things out?

anonymous · Answer

ok we we have to use the equation we come up with

amistre64 · Answer

and what are they?

anonymous · Answer

c=6x+300 r= -x^2+62(x)

anonymous · Answer

P= r-c

amistre64 · Answer

what is: -(6x+300) equal?

anonymous · Answer

it was a formula to solve for a input of x

amistre64 · Answer

-x^2 +62x + -(6x +300)

-x^2 +62x -6x -300  is what I am trying to get you to see...

anonymous · Answer

and this is waht I was thinking didnt think about -(6x+300) that would make it work lol
