David and Amanda are trying to figure out how long they can live off their $12,350 savings if they spend $240 each month. They h

ave each created an equation. David’s Equation Amanda’s Equation y = 12,350 – (240x) y = 12,350 + (240x) Which person has the correct equation to model this linear relationship? Amanda’s equation is correct, because their spending will be multiplied by the number of months and then added to their savings. Amanda’s equation is incorrect, because their spending will increase the amount of their savings. David’s equation is correct, because their spending will be multiplied by the number of months and then subtracted from their savings. David’s equation is incorrect, because their spending should be a fixed amount and should not be multiplied.

David's : y = 12,350 - (240x)
Amanda's : y = 12,350 + (240x)

David's equation is correct, because their spending will be multiplied by the number of months and then subtracted from their savings

Answer:

David's equation y=12350-240x is correct  to model this linear relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

David and Amanda have total savings money =$12350

If they spend money in each month =$240

Equation created by David

y=12350-240x

Equation created by Amanda

y=12350+240x

Amanda's equation is incorrect becuase their spending money multiplied by the number months and then added to their savings and increase the amount of their savings.

But in David's eqaution  spending money multiply by the number of months and then subtracted from their savings .Therefore, it decrease the amount of saving money.

Hence, David's equation is correct ,because their spending money multiplied by the number of months and then subtracted from their saving money.

Find the area of triangle ABC with vertices A(2,1), B (12,2), C (12,8). Hence, or otherwise find the perpendicular distance from
Lapatulllka [165]
<h2>The area of a triangle is =54 square units</h2><h2>The perpendicular distance from B to AC is = \frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle ABC with vertices A(2,1),B(12,2) and C(12,8)

x_1=2,y_1=1,x_2=12,y_2=2,x_3=12 and      y_3=8

The area of a triangle is= \frac{1}{2} [x_1(y_2-y_3) +x_2 (y_3- y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]

=|\frac{1}{2} [2(2-8+12(8-1)+12(1-2)]|

=|-54| = 54 square units

The length of AC = \sqrt{(x_1-x_3)^{2} +(y_1-y_3)^2}

                          = \sqrt{(2-12)^{2} +(1-8)^2}

                         =\sqrt{149} units

Let the perpendicular distance from B to AC be = x

According To Problem

\frac{1}{2} \times  x \times \sqrt{149} = 54

⇔x =\frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units

Therefore the perpendicular distance from B to AC is = \frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units

Greenville County, South Carolina, has 461,299 adult residents, of which 59,969 are 65 years or older. A survey wants to contact
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The proportion would be the number of the sample (x) over the population size (n)

Here we have x = 59,969 and n= 461,299

P = x/n = 59969/461299

P = 0.13

Please help top and bottom.
Helga [31]
1. Perimeter
22a + 2(6a + 8) -4 = p

[I got 22a from 12a + 10a]

2. If p = 250, what is a?

22a + 2(6a + 8) - 4 = 250
Distributive property
22a + 12a + 16 - 4 = 250
Add like terms
34a + 12 = 250
Subtract 12 by both sides
34a = 238
Divide 34 by both sides
a = 7
