Answer:

Kevin is going to be able to have enough money for the concert the fastest

Philip needs at least 4 weeks

Kevin needs at least 3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Philip</u>

  • $8.75/hour * 6 hours/weekend * 1 weekend/week = $52.5/week
  • $45 saved

Let's call x to the number of weeks Philip needs to reach $225.

52.5*x + 45 = 225

52.5*x = 225 - 45

x = 180/52.5

x = 3.43

He needs at least 4 weeks

<u>Kevin</u>

  • 3 hours/day * $7.5/hour *3 days/week = $67.5/week
  • $30 saved

Let's call y to the number of weeks Kevin needs to reach $225.

67.5*y + 30 = 225

67.5*y = 225 - 30

y = 195/67.5

y = 2.9

He needs at least 3 weeks

Graph the equation <br><br>2x + 3y = 9
jeka57 [31]

2x + 3y = 9\\3y = -2x + 9\\y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 3

Look at the graph picture I attached

y = mx + c

c is the intercept, which is why the graph crosses the y-axis at +3

to find where it crosses the x-axis, we make y = 0

y = 0\\\to -\frac{2}{3}x + 3 = 0\\-\frac{2}{3} = -3\\\frac{2}{3}x = 3\\2x = 9\\x = \frac{9}{2}\ \ (=4.5)

A number is as much greater than 21 as it is less than 75 .find the number​
laiz [17]

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number is x greater than 21 and x less than 71.

Now, according to question,

21+x=71−x

2x=50

x=25

So, required number is 21+x=21+25=46.

Alternatively,

The required number would be the average or mean of 21 and 71.

So, required number =

2

(21+71)

=46.
