Effect of Price on Demand for Tires  Suppose the quantity demanded weekly of the Super Titan radial tires is related to its unit price by the equation p + x2 = 400 where p is measured in dollars and x is measured in units of a thousand. How fast is the quantity demanded weekly changing when  x = 11, p = 279,  and the price per tire is increasing at the rate of $2/week? (Round your answer to the nearest tire.)
