Answer:
$283
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
x - for $2 notes
x + 16 - for $5 notes
EQUATION:
(x) + (x + 16) = 74
2x = 74 - 16
2x = 58
x = 29
SUBSTITUTE
x = 29 pieces of $2 notes
x + 16 = 29 + 16 = 45 pieces of $5 notes
TOTAL VALUE IS:
(29 x $2) + (45 x $5) = $283
Yes, the game was fair and no one had a better advantage.
Answer:
Tara's current expression finds how much the school will be keeping. 50 x 2/5 (also written as 50 x 0.4) totals out as 20. $20 is 2/5 of $50. The expression that Tara SHOULD have written to find how much goes to the candle company would be 50 x 3/5 (also written as 50 x 0.6), as this adds up to 30. $30 is 3/5 of $50.
Step-by-step explanation:
50/5 = 10 which means that 1/5 of 50 = 10.
2/5 of 50 ($20) is kept by the school. This is what Tara's expression finds. This means that $30 is sent to the candle company, and can be found with the expression 50 x 3/5.
The decimals are created by dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator (I find it easier to do math with decimals).
Answer:
y=-2x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1) In this equation, -4 is the y-intercept (which is the point in the graph when x is 0 and y is something.)
2) Then, you have to check if the graph also has a y-intercept of -4 (it does)
3) Find out what the slope of the graph is. In this case, it is -2
4) If the equation also has a slope of -2 and y-intercept of -4, then it represents the graph.
Hope this helps :)
