To find the difference, subtract Thea's earnings from Hadley's earnings.

Thea earned $54 more than Hadley.
Answer:
(x, y) = (6, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Sometimes this solution method is called "addition" or "elimination." You want to multiply one or both equations by a value or values that make the coefficients of one of the variables be opposites. Then when you add the equations, the result is an equation without that variable. (One variable has been eliminated.)
Multiply the first equation by -2 to make its x-coefficient the opposite of that in the second equation. Then add the two equations:
-2(3x +3y) = -2(12)
-6x -6y = -24
Add the second equation ...
(-6x -6y) +(6x +11y) = (-24) +(14)
5y = -10 . . . . . simplify
y = -2 . . . . . . . divide by 5
__
3x +3(-2) = 12 . . . . . substitute into the first equation
3x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . add 6
x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
The solution is (x, y) = (6, -2).
The answer is 6.2857 you take all the values add them together then divide by the amount of values
Answer:
x=2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5x=5
subtract 2.5 from itself and 5
x=2.5
1. Since the sales of 8-track players are decreasing by 5.1% per year, we can say that the sales after a year are 94.9% of the sales of the previous year. For succeeding years, we just multiply the percentage a number of times corresponding to the number of years. Forming an exponential function for this we'll get:

where x is the number of years and f(x) is the number of sales.
To find the number of sales in 2013 we just plug in 3 for the value of x:
ANSWER: Emporium sold 333 8-track players in 2013.
2. The half life of Neptunium-229 is modeled by

where A is the final amount and t is the time that has passed in minutes. This just means that the original amount will be multiplied by one half for every 4 minutes.
30 minutes has passed from 7:45 am to 8:15 am. Therefore, we just substitute 30 as the value of t to find the amount of Neptunium remaining by 8:15.
ANSWER: 2.76 grams of Neptunium-229 are remaining at 8:15 am.
3. To find how much annual interest is collected over x years, we just do the same modelling as the previous items. Knowing that the initial amount that Mr. Canonaco deposited into his bank account and that the <span>Dewey, Cheetum, & Howe Credit Union collects 6.25% annual interest per year, the equation will be as follows:
</span>

where x is the number of years and f(x) is the annual interest collected.
