Answer: Joe's weekly allowance = $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe spent half of his weekly allowance playing mini-golf

Let a = his weekly allowance

This means Joe spent a/2 playing mini-golf.

To earn money, his parents let him weed the garden for $6

This means Joe's total money

= a + 6

What is his weekly allowance if he ended with $12?

This means he had $12 left after spending a/2 from ta total of (a +6)

Therefore,

(a +6) -a/2 = 12

Taking LCM of 2

[2(a+6)-a]/2=12

Cross multiplying by 2

2a + 12-a = 24

a+12 =24

a = 24-12 =$12

Joe's weekly allowance = $12

N^2-4n<br> Help please thanksss
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Two solutions are found:

n=0 , n= 4 ....

Step-by-step explanation:

n^2-4n = 0

Take common from the given expression:

n(n-4)=0

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.  

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately;

n(n-4)=0

n = 0.

n-4 = 0.

Add 4 at both sides:

n-4+4 = 0+4

n = 4

Therefore two solutions are found:

n=0 , n= 4 ....

The area of a rectangle is 20 square inches. If the length is 4 inches less than 6 times the width, then find the dimensions of
Tpy6a [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width=x

Length =6x-4

As we know that in a rectangle

{\boxed{\sf Area=LB}}

  • Substitute the values

\hookrightarrow\sf x (6x-4)=20

\hookrightarrow\sf 6x^2-4x=20

\hookrightarrow\sf 6x^2-4x-20=0

  • Here a=6, b=-4, c=-20.
  • use quadratic formula

\hookrightarrow\sf x=\dfrac {1}{3}+\dfrac {1}{3}\sqrt {31} \quad or \quad \dfrac {1}{3}+\dfrac {-1}{3}\sqrt {31}
