Let
x----------> number of weeks
y----------> saved money
we now that
<span>Michael begins with $20 and saves $5 per week
so
y=20+5x------> equation 1
and
</span><span>Lindsey begins with no money, but saves $10 per week
</span><span>y=10x-------> equation 2
</span><span>the number of weeks it will take for Lindsey and Michael to save the same amount of money is when equation 1 is equals to equation 2
</span>
therefore
20+5x=10x------> 10x-5x=20------> 5x=20-----> x=20/5-----> x=4 weeks
the answer is
4 weeks
Absolute value is when you have either a positive or negative value within a set of "parentheses" or what look just like vertical lines and whatever is within those line stays or becomes positive. The only exception to this is when there is a negative on the outside to act upon the positive values within.
Answer:
D) She has a total of $62 in the piggy bank.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jenny has been saving quarters in a piggy bank since she was born.
She decides to add 56 more quarters so that she can buy a $65 phone.
So she has 192 + 56 = 248 quarters currently.
1 quarter is equivalent to $0.25
248 quarters equals;
× $0.25 = $62
So Jenny has a total of $62 in the piggy bank.
