Standard form is ax+by=c
normally a is positive and a and b are integres
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint
y=1/2x+3
minus 1/2 x both sides
-1/2x+y=3
times -2
x-2y=-6
We need to write system of equations for this problem. Reading text we write 1 equation by 1.
first lets name our variables
x - Kiana cards
y - Gary cards
z - Monty cards
m - Willa cards
x = y-3 which we can write as y = x+3
z = x + 7
m = 2z
x + y + z + m = 74
I think easiest way to solve this is to express all variables in last equation and solve for x.
x + x+3 + x + 7+ 2x + 14= 74
5x = 50
x = 10
now we just calculate cards given to each friend
y = 13
z = 17
m = 34
She will be paid $2,240.
The equation to use for this is: A=P(1+rt)
More specifically:
A = 2000(1 + (0.02 × 6)) = 2240
A = $2,240.00
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we have that

Step 1
<u>Find the value of AC</u>
we know that
in the right triangle ABC

substitute the values in the formula

Step 2
<u>Find the value of BC</u>
we know that
in the right triangle ABC
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

substitute the values

Step 3
<u>Find the value of BD</u>
we know that
in the right triangle BCD
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

substitute the values


therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of BD is 11.93 units
-320. The negative sign represents loss. In all of the other cases, values are either being added or not changed at all.
