Let S be the amount in a savings account.
Let m be the number of months.
General equation
S = 132 + 27m
Specific question
July is the 7th month of the year including both January and July.
S = 132 + 7*27
S = 132 + 189
S = 321
Reasonableness?
Good question. You could estimate an answer.
Start with 150 dollars and say that you add 25 a month.
7 * 25 = 175
S = 150 + 175 = 325 All of this was done in my head. Since the exact answer obtained using the formula is 321, I think that's pretty reasonable using my estimate is a guide.
9/17 = .529411...
8/45 = .17777 (the seven repeats)
17/9 = 1.8888 (the eight repeats)
16/90 = .17777 (the seven repeats)
While B and D both equal approximately 1.7. B is the simplified form, So B is the answer
Brainliest would be fantastic :) Have a nice day.
I think it’s 8 ( I’m not sure )
Hm. This is an interesting problem.
Let's see if we can express each of these numbers in terms of x and make an algebra equation to help us solve.
Consecutive even numbers increase by 2.
Let's allow x to equal our first number.
Let's allow x + 2 to equal our 2nd number.
Let's allow x + 4 to equal our 3rd number.
When we add those together, their sum need to equal 50 more than the largest integer (our x + 4)
Let's set it up!
x + (x +2) + (x + 4) = (x + 4) + 50
Simplify!
3x + 6 = x + 54
Let's reorganize the left and right sides.
3x - x = 54 - 6
2x = 48
x = 24 (our 1st even number)
Now, let's check our answer!
24 + 26 + 28 = 78
78 - 50 = 28 Our highest integer.
The sum of consecutive integers 24, 26, 28 is 50 more than the highest integer.
