The revenue, R(x), from selling x units of baseball bats is represented by the
equation R(x) = 50x. The cost, C(x), of making the baseball bats is represented by
the equation C(x) = 12x - 5. The total profit, P(x), is represented by the equation
P (x) = R (x) - C(x) . For R(x) and C(x) given above, what is the value of P(x)?

Answer 1

The value of P(x) can be found by substituting the given equations for R(x) and C(x) into the
equation P(x) = R(x) - C(x).

Substituting R(x) = 50x and C(x) = 12x - 5, we
have:

P(x) = 50x - (12x - 5)

Simplifying the expression, we get:

P(x) = 50x - 12x + 5

Combining like terms, we have:

P(x) = 38x + 5

Therefore, the value of P(x) is 38x + 5.
