Using proportions, the amount of money that Sam would need each month to pay his bills is of:

b. at least $425.32.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, his annual social security benefit is of 42% of $37,991, hence:

A = 0.42 x 37991 = $15,956.22.

Hence the monthly amount is given by:

M = 15956.22/12 = $1,329.68

He needs $1,755 monthly, hence the amount he needs is of at least:

An = 1755 - 1329.68 = $425.32.

Which means that option b is correct.

Consider the system of equations given in slope-intercept form. y = −13x + 17, y = 5x - 23 The solution seems to be about (8, 14
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The exact solution for this equation would be (2.222, -11.889)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it told us to use a graphing calculator, I went on to desmos graphing calculator, typed in the equation, then I found out where the two line intersect, and then that was the answer.

Graph y=-6(3)^x<br><br> please do the table and the graph <br><br> 20 POINTS!
Margarita [4]

Answer:

<em>Explanation to the answer below... (Answers in the Explanation</em><em>)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We Know that our rule is y = y = -6(3)^{x} , which means we can use this rule to find y from x. Since we don't know what X, is, we have to assume numbers like 1, to 7. And there is no space to write on the graph, I'll put a virtual copy of a graph.

1st Point,

y = -6(3)^{x}\\y =  -6(3)^{1}\\y = -6(3)\\y = -18\\x = 1, y = -18

2nd, point

y = -6(3)^x\\ y = -6(3)^2\\y = -6(9)\\y = -54\\x = 2, y = -54

3rd Point

y = -6(3)^x\\y = -6(3)^3\\y = -6(27)\\y = -162\\x = 3, y = -162

4th Point

y = -6(3)^4\\y = -6(81)\\y = -486\\x = 4, y = -486\\

5th Point

y = -6(3)^5\\y = -6(243)\\y = -1458\\\x = 5, y = -1458

6th Point

y = -6(3)^x\\y = -6(3)^6\\y = -6(729)\\y = -4,374\\x = 6, y = -4,374\\

7th Point (Last Point)

y = -6(3)^x\\y = -6(3)^7\\y = -6(2,187)\\y. = -13,122\\x = 7, y = -13,122

Let's now plot them on the Graph, the values are so big, the graph might look a little odd.

Always remember that we can continue the points infinitely, and there is no stop, The Graph is attached below...

Solve the equation for y: 2 y – 25 = 19
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

2y - 25 = 19

2y = 19 + 25

2y = 44

y = 44 / 2

y = 22

Hope it helps
