Let
x----------> number of weeks
y----------> saved money
we now that
<span>Michael begins with $20 and saves $5 per week
so
y=20+5x------> equation 1
and
</span><span>Lindsey begins with no money, but saves $10 per week
</span><span>y=10x-------> equation 2
</span><span>the number of weeks it will take for Lindsey and Michael to save the same amount of money is when equation 1 is equals to equation 2
</span>
therefore
20+5x=10x------> 10x-5x=20------> 5x=20-----> x=20/5-----> x=4 weeks
the answer is
4 weeks
To find sales tax on something, multiply the percent of the tax by the price of the item.
The answer is -5
Explanation: Divide 2 to get rid of the top number. It looks like this
-10. 2y
___. ___
2. 2
What this does is remove the two from the Y and sets it by itself. Then you divide the -10, and the answer is -5
Answer:
a+b=mx+b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
5^3 y^5
125 y^5
Step-by-step explanation:
5y^3/(5y)^-2
Distribute the exponent in the denominator
5y^3/(5 ^-2 y^-2)
A negative exponent in the denominator brings it to the numerator
5y^3 5 ^2 y^2
Combine like terms
5 * 5^2 * y^3 5^2
We know that a^b * a^c = a^(b+c)
5^(1+2) * y^( 3+2)
5^3 y^5
125 y^5
