Let's find the rates at which Melinda and Marcus are saving money and compare them.
Based on the table, we can see that Melinda originally had $75. Then she got $135 in 5 weeks. So the rate of saving money is (135–75)/5 = $12 per week.
This rate is unchanged for the next weeks. As we can see, she got $195 in the next 5 weeks. So she saved $60 more those 5 weeks, or the rate is $60/5 = $12 per week again.
So Melinda saved $12 per week.
As for Marcus, the equation tells us that the rate of saving money is $14 which is the coefficient in front of x.
Hence, t<span>he rate at which Melinda is adding to her savings each week is 2$
less than the rate at which Marcus is adding to his savings each week.</span>
Answer:
Apple = $0.6
Banana = $0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent Apple by A and Banana by B
For Joe,
5A + 4B = 6 (1)
For Dawn
3A + 6B = 6.3 (2)
To eliminate A, Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5
15A + 12B = 18 (3)
15A + 30B = 31.5 (4)
subtracting equation (4) from (3)
15A - 15A +12B - 30B = 18 - 31.5
-18B = -13.5
divide through by -18
-18B/-18 = -13.5/-18
B = 0.75
substitute 0.75 in equation (1)
5A + 4B = 6
5A + 4(0.75) = 6
5A + 3 = 6
subtract 3 from both sides
5A + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3
5A = 3
divide through by 5
5A/5 = 3/5
A = 0.6
Answer:
$1.81
Step-by-step explanation:
10 - 8.19 = 1.81
(4x−101)(2x+3)
Apply the distributive property by multiplying each term of 4x−101 by each term of 2x+3.
8x²+12x−202x−303
Combine 12x and −202x.
8x²−190x−303
