Answer:

After 20 months the total amount paid would be same for both

The amount is $5500

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Kenya plans to make a down payment plus monthly payments in

 order to buy a motorcycle

- There are two dealer

# 1st : she would pay $2,500 down and $150 each month

# 2nd : she would pay $3,000 down and $125  each month

- We need to know after how many months the total amount paid

 would be the same for both dealers

* Lets change the two dealer to two equations

- Let f(x) represents the total amount of the motorcycle in x months

∴ f(x) = 2500 + 150 x ⇒ 1st dealer

∴ f(x) = 3000 + 125 x ⇒ 2nd dealer

- Equate the two equations

∴ 2500 + 150 x = 3000 + 125 x

- Subtract 125 x from both sides and 2500 from both sides

∴ 150 x - 125 x = 3000 - 2500

∴ 25 x = 500

- Divide both sides by 25

∴ x = 20

* After 20 months the total amount paid would be same for both

- To find the amount substitute the value of x in one of the

  two equation

∵ f(x) = 2500 + 150 x

∵ x = 20

∴ f(x) = 2500 + 150 (20)

∴ f(x) = 2500 + 3000

∴ f(x) = 5500

∵ f(x) represents the total amount of the motorcycle

* The amount is $5500

Find the slope and the equation for the line passing through the (-3,2 ) point with x-intercept at x=-4. and how do I find the e
WINSTONCH [101]
Well, the x-intercept is at -4, that means, the graph touches the x-axis at -4, or when x = -4, what's the value of "y" when that happens?  well, if the graph touches the x-axis, the y-value has gone all the way down to 0, and thus y = 0, therefore the point at that x-intercept is ( -4, 0 )

so, what's the equation of a line that passes through (-3,2) and (-4,0)?

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ -3}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{ -4}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{0-2}{-4-(-3)}\implies \cfrac{0-2}{-4+3}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-2}{-1}\implies 2
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-2=2[x-(-3)]
\\\\\\
y-2=2(x+3)\implies y-2=2x+6\implies y=2x+8

Suppose a stage for the Lunar New Year festival has a length of 24 feet and a width of 4x + 4 feet. If the area of the stage is
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The value of x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The stage is rectangular in shape.

The formula for area of a rectangle is:

Length × Width

Length = 24 feet

Width = 4x + 4 feet

Hence:

384 = (4x + 4) × (24)

384 = 96x + 96

Collect like terms

384 - 96 = 96x

288 = 96x

x = 288/96

x = 3

The value of x is 3
