Answer:
y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
it is a straight line graph with no gradient therefore no X value. It crosses the y axis at -1
Answer: sally initially has $240, Tom initially has $180.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let initial amount of money sally has = x
Then, initial amount tom has = 75% * x = 0.75x
Now to present,
Amount sally has = x -120
Amount tom has = [x - 120] + [50% * (x-120)]
= x - 120 + 0.5x - 180
= 1.5x - 180
Since Tom didn't spend, it means this is the same amount tom has then we equate both equations.
0.75x = 1.5x - 180
180 = 0.75x
x = 240
Therefore, initial money of sally of sally = $240
Initial money of tom = 240 * 0.75 = $180.
Yes, -0.5 is an integer because it is a negative number. Any number that is positive or negative is an integer.
