This is a working backwards problem. You know he has $35 at the end. Before he gave his brother $5, he would have $40, which is half of what he had before he bought the clothes, so he would have had $80. Before he spent the $40 on shoes, he would have had $120, so the answer is $120.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Factorize using square root method.
x² - 2x + 2 = (x-a)² + b
x² -2x + 1 + 1 = (x-a)²+b
(x² - 2*x*1 + 1²) + 1 = (x -a)²+ b {Compare with a²- 2ab+b² which is (a - b)²}
(x - 1)² + 1 = (x - a)² + b
a = 1 and b = 1
Complete question :
Write a system of equations, with one equation describing the cost to bowl at Bowl-o-Rama and the other describing the cost to bowl at Bowling Pinz. For each equation, let x represent the number of games played and let y represent the total cost.
Bowl-O-Rama rents shoes for $2 and each game cost $2.50
Bowling Pinz rents shoes for $4 and each game cost $2
Answer:
Bowl-O-Rama:
y = $2 + $2.50x
Bowling pinz:
y = $4 + $2x
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost is the sum of shoe rental plus the product of the unit game rate and the number of games played.
Total cost, y
x = number of games played
Bowl-O-Rama:
y = Shoe rent + (unit rate per game * number of games)
y = $2 + ($2.50 * x)
y = $2 + $2.50x
Bowling Pinz :
y = Shoe rent + (unit rate per game * number of games)
y = $4 + ($2 * x)
y = $4 + $2x
