Let total amount spent =x
Dita spent 35 % of total amount.
35% of x = 0.35x
So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x
% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x
We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,
so making equation we have ,
Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12
x=80
So total amount spent was $80.
Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16
So amount spent by Benton is $16.
The given point to us is (3,-1) and the slope of the line is 2 . We can use the <u>point</u><u> </u><u>slope </u>form of the line as ,
Substitute the values ,
Simplify LHS and RHS ,
Put all terms on one side ,
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
ley y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject
y = - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )
y + 1 = ( multiply both sides by (x + 5)
(y + 1)(x + 5) = 1 ← expand factors using FOIL
xy + 5y + x + 5 = 1 , that is
xy + x + 5y + 5 = 1 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms on left side )
x(y + 1) + 5(y + 1) = 1 ← factor out (y + 1) from each term on left side
(y + 1)(x + 5) = 1 ( divide both sides by (y + 1) )
x + 5 = ( subtract 5 from both sides )
x = - 5
Change y back into terms of x with x = (x) , then
(x) =
- 5 where x ≠ - 1
