So he spent 1600 so x will represent original savings so
x-1600
then he spent 2/5 of the remainder on a refrigerator so
[(x-1600)2]/5
he had 1/3 of original savings left
[(x-1600)2]/5=1/3x
distrubute
(2x-3200)/5=1/3x
multiply both sides by 15
3(2x-3200)=5x
distrubute
6x-9600=5x
subtract 5x from both sides
x-9600=0
add 9600 to both sides
x=9600

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

u+2b=22

Unicycles have one wheel and bicycles have two, so the coefficient of 2 should go before the variable representing each bike.

It should equal 22 because 15 represents the total number of seats and not wheels.

Find an equation of each line given one point and the slope : (4, 8); slope 8
Fudgin [204]

Step-by-step explanation:

in such a case the easiest approach might be using the point-slope form of a line equation :

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

with m being the slope, and (x1, y1) being a point on the line.

so, in our case that would be

y - 8 = 8(x - 4)

simplified this would be

y - 8 = 8x - 32

y = 8x - 24

FYI - this would be then the slope-intercept form (-24 would be the intercept point on the y-axis).
