Answer:
p=36
a=3*
*18
Step-by-step explanation:
p=sum of all sides
a=(3*
)/2
First get like things on the same side:
-5/6b - 1/2b= -2/3 - 3/4
Then find equivalent fractions to make the equation easier to solve.
-5/6b - 3/6b= -8/12 - 9/12
Then just add things together and solve.
-8/6b= -17/12
-8b= 6(-17/12)
-8b= -17/2
b= (-17/2)/-8
b= 17/16
You can then plug the answer back into the original question to make sure it is the correct answer.
They will have the same amount of money after 7 weeks.
We first set these equal to each other:
36+4x=x²+15
We want to gather all of the variables on one side. Subtract 4x from both sides:
36+4x-4x=x²+15-4x
36=x²-4x+15
We want the equation to be equal to 0 to solve it, so subtract 36 from both sides:
36-36=x²-4x+15-36
0=x²-4x-21
We can factor this expression. We want factors of -21 that sum to -4; -7(3)=-21 and -7+3=-4:
0=(x-7)(x+3)
Using the zero product property, we know that x-7=0 or x+3=0; this means x=7 or x=-3. Since a negative number of weeks makes no sense, the answer is 7 weeks.
Answer:
the minus can get inside the brackets
