Melinda and Marcus are saving money to purchase a present for a friend. Each friend starts with an amount and also saves a speci

fic amount each week.
Melinda created a table to show the total she has saved at the end of each week.
Weeks 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40
Amount saved 75 135 195 255 315 375 435 495 555



Marcus came up with the following equation to show the total, y, he has saved at the end of each week, x.

y = 14x + 25



Compare the rate at which each friend saves money.


The rate at which Melinda is adding to her savings each week is $
less than the rate at which Marcus is adding to his savings each week.

Let's find the rates at which Melinda and Marcus are saving money and compare them. 
Based on the table, we can see that Melinda originally had $75. Then she got $135 in 5 weeks.  So the rate of saving money is (135–75)/5 = $12 per week.
This rate is unchanged for the next weeks. As we can see, she got $195 in the next 5 weeks. So she saved $60 more those 5 weeks, or the rate is $60/5 = $12 per week again. 

So Melinda saved $12 per week.
As for Marcus, the equation tells us that the rate of saving money is $14 which is the coefficient in front of x.

Hence, t<span>he rate at which Melinda is adding to her savings each week is 2$
less than the rate at which Marcus is adding to his savings each week.</span>

On Tuesday Conrad had 3 times as many sales as on Monday. On Wednesday, he had 9 times as many sales as on Monday. Over the thre
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Conrad had 56 sales on Monday , 168 sales on Tuesday and 504 sales on Wednesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of sales on Monday

We are given that On Tuesday Conrad had 3 times as many sales as on Monday.

So, Conrad had sales on Tuesday = 3x

We are also given that On Wednesday, he had 9 times as many sales as on Monday.

So, Conrad had sales on Wednesday = 9x

Over the three days, he had a total of 728 sales

So, x+3x+9x=728

13x=728

x=\frac{728}{13}

x=56

Conrad had sales on Tuesday = 3x =3(56)=168

Conrad had sales on Wednesday = 9x=9(56)=504

Hence Conrad had 56 sales on Monday , 168 sales on Tuesday and 504 sales on Wednesday.

What is the sum or difference 6x^7+8x^7
s344n2d4d5 [400]
Answer: 14x^7

You add the coefficients (numbers to the left of the variable terms) to get 6+8 = 14 which is the coefficient of the final answer. The x^7 stays the same. It's like saying "we have 6 apples added to 8 apples, so there are 14 apples overall". Replace "apples" with "x^7" and it's the same idea.
