Answer:
$966
Step-by-step explanation:
6/7 = 828/x
Write a proportion.
6x = 7(828) Use cross products.
6x = 5796 Multiply.
x = 966 Divide both sides by 6.
Paul's investment was $966.
It is different because you are doing a different method to complete the problem. It is the same because it ends up with the same answer, provided you complete the process correctly.
Where 1/4 represents Bob and 1/6 represents Ted...
1/4x + 1/6x = 1
Multiply the two so there is no fraction by the GCF of 12.
3x + 2x = 12
Add 3x and 2x.
5x = 12
Divide by 5.
x = 12
Plug this value in.
With that, the answer is 2 hours and 24 minutes with x = 12 meaning 144 minutes.
That bracket symbol, with an r in it, means "the absolute value of r".
So r's absolute value is -2 meaning r is two units from zero
r= 2
