Answer:

The amount of money that Lexi had at the beginning was $131.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> amount of money that Lexi had at the beginning

y -----> amount of money that Maria had at the beginning

we know that

x+y=250 -----> equation A

(1-2/5)x=y-40

(3/5)x=y-40

y=(3/5)x+40 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

x+(3/5)x+40=250

(8/5)x=250-40

(8/5)x=210

x=210*5/8

x=$131.25

The cost y (in dollars) to rent a lane at the bowling alley is proportional to the number x of hours that you rent the lane. It
Alika [10]

Answer:

a) y = 9x

b) For every increase of 1 hour the price to rent the lane increases by $9.

c) $27

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since it costs $18 for 2 hours we can infer that for every 1 hour it costs $9.

So, the equation would look like this:

y = 9x

b) In this context, for every increase of 1 hour the price to rent the lane increases by $9. Like the question gave us, the price for 2 hours cost $18.

c) Plug 3 into the equation:

y = 9(3)

y = 27

Therefore, it costs $27 to rent the lane for 3 hours.
