Since it states that he "spends his savings at a steady rate," we can assume this is a linear equation.

What we know is that he started with $605,000 and after 6 years, he used $300,000. So, we just subtract what he had originally by what he used and get $305,000. We can now make the equation as follows:

300,000=6x, where x is the amount of money he spent in one year. This equation simplifies to x=50,000, which is the amount of money he spent in one year.

Since the question asks us to tell how long it will take him to reach $100,000 in savings, we can make the equation using previous value we have found:

100,000=305,000-50,000x, where x is the number of years passed.

So, this equation solves to -205,000=-50,000x, or x=4.1

I'm not sure how you want to express your answer, but it took him 4.1 years on top of the 6 years already passed to reach $100,000. This mean 10.1 years in total.

Hope this helps!

Sara has 24 sweets
Tresset [83]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The expression for the number of sweets that Sara and Tim have now, are:

Sara=(17-x)Sweets\\\\Tim=\frac{(24+x)Sweets}{2}

<h2>Why?</h2>

To write the expressions for the number of sweets that Sara and Tim have now, we need to follow the next steps:

Sara starts with 24 sweets and Tim starts with 24 sweets

Sara=24 Sweets\\Tim=24 Sweets

Then, Sara gives Tim x Sweets

Sara=(24-x)Sweets\\Tim=(24+x)Sweets

Then. Sara eats 7 of her Sweets

Sara=(24-x-7) Sweets\\Sara=(17-x )Sweets\\Tim=(24+x) Sweets

Then, Tim eats half of his sweets

Sara=(17-x)Sweets\\\\Tim=\frac{(24+x)Sweets}{2}

So, the expression for the number of sweets that Sara and Tim have now, are:

Sara=(17-x) Sweets\\\\Tim=\frac{(24+x)Sweets}{2}

Have a nice day!

Steve, 18 years old, is three times as old as his brother Daniel. How old will Steve be when he will be twice as old as Daniel?
gtnhenbr [62]
18 ÷ 3 is 6, which means that Daniel is 6, and there is a 12 year gap between Steve and Daniel.

12 x 2 is 24, so therefore when Steve is 24, Daniel will be 12, so Steve is twice as old as Daniel:)
