Example Write the function that will solve this problem. Spice Drops candy calorie count exceeds Smarties candy calorie count by 70 calories per serving. If the sum of one serving of each candy equals 190 calories find the calorie count of each kind of candy.
Example Write the functions for men and women and solve the problem. The percentage of women in the labor force and the percentage of men in the labor force is illustrated in the graph at left. The decrease yearly of men in the labor force is ¼% and the increase in women in the labor force is ½%. If there are presently 70 million men and 60 million women in the labor force, when will the number of both sexes be equal?
Graphing Calculator Solving the previous problem using intersection. Let y1 be the left side of the equation and y2 be the right side of the equation.
Example A local telephone company charges $11 for local phone service and an additional $ .10 for each long distance phone call. A second local telephone company charges $14 for local service and an additional $ .05 for each long distance phone call. For how many minutes of long-distance calls will the costs for the two companies be the same?

Example A machine produces open boxes using rectangular sheets of metal measuring 14 inches by 9 inches. The machine cuts equal-sized squares from each corner. Then it shapes the metal into an open box by turning up the sides. Express the volume of the box, V, in cubic inches as a function of the length of the side of the square cut from each corner, x, in inches. x x 9” 14”
