Answer:

option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation: $8x + 60 = 4x + 100$

Lets make two equations

$Amount = 8x+60$

60 is the initial amount and 8 is the amount saves per week

Jason has $60 and saves $8 per week

$Amount =4x+100$

100 is the initial amount and 4 is the amount saves per week

Matt has $1000 and saves $4 per week

$8x + 60 = 4x + 100$

Jason's amount is equal to Matt's amount

So option D is correct

A landscaper has 10 2/5 cubic yards of peat moss in a truck. If he unloads 2 2/3 cubic yards at the first site and 2 1/4 cubic y

Vikentia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem bothers on fractions, here we are being presented with mixed fractions.

what we are going to do bascially is to subtract the sum of all the uloaded

peat moss in sites 1 and 2 to get from the peat moss to get the remaining for the third site

therefore

$10\frac{2}{5}-(2\frac{2}{3}+ 2\frac{1}{4})$

we then have to convert the mixed fraction to further simplify the problem we have

$\frac{52}{5}-(\frac{8}{3}+ \frac{9}{4})$

we then solve the fraction to the right of the negative symbol first

$=\frac{52}{5}-(\frac{8}{3}+ \frac{9}{4})\\\\=\frac{52}{5}-\frac{32+27}{12} \\\\=\frac{52}{5}-\frac{59}{12} \\\\\=\frac{624-295}{60} \\\\=\frac{329}{60}$
