Demarcus and his brother are saving up some money to take a trip together. to open a joint savings account, demarcus deposited a

certain amount of money, d, and his brother deposited $7 more than demarcus. after one month of saving, they noticed that the balance in their savings account, $111, was triple the amount that they started with. the situation can be modeled by the equation 3 (d + d + 7) = 111. demarcus was solving the equation and his first step was to divide both sides by 3. his brother started solving the equation by using the distributive property. their banker started solving the equation by combining like terms. complete each person's method.

a. Demarcus' method is (d + d + 7) = 111/3

b. His brother's method is 3d + 3d + 3 × 7 = 111

c. The banker's method is 3(2d + 7) = 111

<h3>How to complete each person's method</h3>

Each pperson's method is the solution to a linear equation

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the unknown is 1.

<h3>a. How to complete Demarcus' method?</h3>

Since the equation is given by 3(d + d + 7) = 111 and demarcus was solving the equation and his first step was to divide both sides by 3, we have that

3(d + d + 7) = 111

(d + d + 7) = 111/3

d + d + 7 = 37

2d + 7 = 37

2d = 37 - 7

2d = 30

d = 30/2

d = 15

So, Demarcus' method is (d + d + 7) = 111/3

<h3>b. How to complete his brother's method?</h3>

Since the equation is given by 3(d + d + 7) = 111 and his brother started solving the equation by using the distributive property,we have that

3(d + d + 7) = 111

3d + 3d + 3 × 7 = 111

3d + 3d + 21 = 111

6d + 21 = 111

6d = 111 - 21

6d = 90

d = 90/6

d = 15

So, his brother's method is 3d + 3d + 3 × 7 = 111

<h3>c. How to complete the banker's method?</h3>

Since the equation is given by 3(d + d + 7) = 111 and their banker started solving the equation by combining like terms, we have that

3(d + d + 7) = 111

3(2d + 7) = 111

6d + 21 = 111

6d = 111 - 21

6d = 90

d = 90/6

d = 15

So, the banker's method is 3(2d + 7) = 111

L varies directly with the square of Z. L is 12 when Z is 2. Find the value of L when Z is 4.
kow [346]

Answer:

L = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that L varies directly with Z² , then the equation relating them is

L = kZ² ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition L = 12 when Z = 2 , then

12 = k × 2² = 4k ( divide both sides by 4 )

3 = k

L = 3Z² ← equation of variation

When Z = 4 , then

L = 3 × 4² = 3 × 16 = 48

Terry is skiing down a steep hill. Terry's elevation, E(t), in feet after t seconds is given by E(t)=2600−50t.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Part 1) The equation tells us that Terry started at an elevation of 2,600 ft

Part 2) The elevation is decreasing by 50 feet each second

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

E(t)=2,600-50t

where

E(t) is Terry's elevation in feet

t is the time in seconds

Part 1) Find the E intercept of the equation

The E-intercept is the value of E when the value of t is equal to zero

so

For t=0

substitute

E(0)=2,600-50(0)

E(0)=2,600\ ft

therefore

The equation tells us that Terry started at an elevation of 2,600 ft

Part 2) Find the slope of the equation

we have

E(t)=2,600-50t

This is the equation of the line into slope intercept form

The slope m is equal to

m=-50\ ft/sec

The slope is negative, because is decreasing

therefore

The elevation is decreasing by 50 feet each second
