Answer
Rebecca has 76 comic books
Maurice has 54 comic books
Step-by-step
Since there are 54 fewer comics and together they have 130 comics, you should subtract 54 from 130. Once you do that your answer will be 76; and that is how many comics Rebecca has. And 76+54=130 so Maurice has 54 comics
Answer:
-5n + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1. What is the difference?</u>
The sequence goes down by 5. This means that the formula will have -5n in it.
<u>2. Work out the term before the first term.</u>
The first term is 3, and we know that the sequence goes up by 5. So, to get the term before 3 we would add 5.
3 + 5 = 8 Remember, this is positive 8. (+8)
<u>3. Put that term at the end of the equation. </u>
We have -5n already and we just worked out the term before the first one which is positive 8 - so put that at the end of the equation.
-5n + 8 This is our answer!
Just to prove it works:
<em>Substitute: n = term</em>
Lets see if we can get the 3rd term which is -7. (n = 3)
-5(3) + 8
-15 + 8 = -7
See, it works!
Answer:
x = 4
Explanation:
−2x − 4 + 5x = 8
[ Simplify both sides of the equation ]
−2x − 4 + 5x = 8
−2x + −4 + 5x = 8
(−2x + 5x) + (−4) = 8 (Combine Like Terms)
3x + −4 = 8
3x − 4 = 8
[ Add 4 to both sides ]
3x − 4 + 4 = 8 + 4
3x = 12
[ Divide both sides by 3 ]
3x / 3 = 12 / 3
x = 4

<span>The question is asking us to write a function that represents the total number of words ( y ) that Mrs. Garcia can type in x minutes. Then we have to calculate how many words she can type in 49 minutes. In 1 minute she can type 70 words, in 2 minutes 140 etc. Answer: the function is: y = 70 * x. In 49 minutes ( x = 49 ) : y = 49 * 70 = 3,430. In 49 minutes she would type 3,430 words. </span>
