Answer:
Cornor has $14.17 initially
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is as follows
Connor has five times as much money as Jayden. Connor gives some money to Jayden. They now have £8.520each. How much did Connor have at the start?
solution
In this question, we are concerned with knowing how much that both had initially.
Let the amount of money Jayden has be £x . Since Cornor has Five times this, he has £5x
Let the amount of money Cornor gave Jayden be £y.
This means ;
5x - y = 8.50 .....(
(i)and also x + y = 8.50 ......(ii)
It is this equations we solve simultaneously
From i, we can say let y= 5x - 8.50, and we insert this into equation ii
x + 5x - 8.50 = 8.50
6x = 17
x = 17/6
x = $2.83
y = 5x - 8.50
y = 5(2.83) - 8.50
y = $5.67
The amount of money Cornor has at first is 5x = 5(17/6)
5x = $14.17
You find three times that number.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
if youre answer has to be a whole number it would be 3 otherwise it would be x<4 ( so anything less than 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
so because we are trying to find which company is less, we need to set up in inequality.
so first lets do company A
because 15 is our reoccuring fee, its going to be the coeifficient
so the equation would be
A - 15x + 20
now lets do company B
because it only 20 every month we dont need to have a constant which means the equation for B would be
B - 20x
so lets put it all together
15x + 20 > 20x ( remember our B side has to be less )
now lets solve it
20 > 5x
we know that if x = 4 then the two would be equal, which means our answer would have to be 3 months.
now always check your work.
15 (3) + 20 = 65
20(3) = 60
(2 - 
)
