M=f+240

m+f=25000, using m from above in this equation gives you:

f+240+f=25000  combine like terms on left side

2f+240=25000  subtract 240 from both sides

2f=24760  divide both sides by 2

f=12380, and since m=f+240

m=12620

So there are 12620 males and 12380 females in the city.

To solve you start by dividing 25,000 in half. This gives you 12,500. Then you subtract 240 from it to find the number of females (12,260). Finally you subtract 12, 260 from 25,000 to find the number of males.

So there are 12,260 females and 12,740 males

Consider the function represented by the table. For which x is f(x)?=–3 –7 –4 4 5
svp [43]
-7. When you look at the graph it is divided into x and f(x). f(x) is the same as y so the question is basically asking you what is x when y is -3. So you just go to the -3 under f(x) and look over to find that the answer is -7

Steve and Ben have some money in their wallets. If Steve gives Ben $3, Ben will have twice as much as Steve. If Ben gives Steve
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the money owned by Steve and y denotes the money owned by Ben.

Then, Steve gives $3 to Ben

Money left with Steve = x-3 and Ben = y+3

Now, Ben will have twice as much as Steve.

⇒ y+3  = 2(x-3) .............(1)

If Ben gives Steve $7

Money left with Steve = x+7 and Ben = y-7

Then,  the amount Ben has will be one-third that of Steve’s.

⇒ y-7 = \frac{1}{3} (x+7) ..........(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method, we get

x = 11 and y = 13

⇒ Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13
