Well 24000 divided by 3 is 8000 so that is how much they each put in, then they lost a total of 4500 which divided is 1500 so each they went down to 6500 invested.

Answer:

$1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Brian, Steve, and Rita invested a total of $24,000 in a business. Unfortunately, in the first quarter they suffered a loss of $4,500,which they shared equally.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total loss by 3 as there are 3 persons in all.

\text{Each individual's investment changed due to the loss}=\frac{\$4500}{3}

\text{Each individual's investment changed due to the loss}=\$1500

Therefore, each individual's investment changed due to the loss by $1500.

How do you solve this?
solong [7]

It looks like your equations are

7M - 2t = -30

5t - 12M = 115

<u>Solving by substitution</u>

Solve either equation for one variable. For example,

7M - 2t = -30   ⇒   t = (7M + 30)/2

Substitute this into the other equation and solve for M.

5 × (7M + 30)/2 - 12M = 115

5 (7M + 30) - 24M = 230

35M + 150 - 24M = 230

11M = 80

M = 80/11

Now solve for t.

t = (7 × (80/11) + 30)/2

t = (560/11 + 30)/2

t = (890/11)/2

t = 445/11

<u>Solving by elimination</u>

Multiply both equations by an appropriate factor to make the coefficients of one of the variables sum to zero. For example,

7M - 2t = -30   ⇒   -10t + 35M = -150 … (multiply by 5)

5t - 12M = 115   ⇒   10t - 24M = 230 … (multiply by 2)

Now combining the equations eliminates the t terms, and

(-10t + 35M) + (10t - 24M) = -150 + 230

11M = 80

M = 80/11

It follows that

7 × (80/11) - 2t = -30

560/11 - 2t = -30

2t = 890/11

t = 445/11

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

45 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is how much time should the painter spend on painting a doll for the costs to still be equal or lower to $24.50

We can make this equation, representing the raw materials + the painting job (at $18/h):

$11 + $18x = $24.50

18x = 13.50

x = 13.5 / 18 = 0.75

So, the painter should spend at most 3/4 of an hour (or 45 mins) painting a doll to keep the cost at or below $24.50 per doll.

Which is the inverse of the function f(x)=1/3x+5 ?
PtichkaEL [24]
To find the inverse of a function, switch the x and the y and then solve for the new y.  Like this: x= \frac{1}{3}y+5.  Subtract 5 from both sides to get x-5= \frac{1}{3}y and then multiply both sides by 3.  3(x - 5) = y.  B is your choice.
