Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: it would take 20 weeks before the amount in both accounts would be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of weeks that it will take either Ruben and Shawna to have the same amount of money in their account.

Let y represent the total amount that would be in Shawna's account after x weeks

Let z represent the total amount that would be in Ruben's account after x weeks

Shawna has $750 in the bank. She deposits $37.50 each week. This means that the total amount after x weeks would be

y = 37.5x + 750

Ruben has $850 in the bank. He deposits his paycheck of $102.75 every Monday,and he spends about $70.25 each week.. This means that the total amount after x weeks would be

z = 850 + 102.75x - 70.25x

z = 850 + 32.5x

To determine the number of weeks before the amount in both accounts will becomes the same, we would equate y to z. It becomes

37.5x + 750= 850 + 32.5x

37.5x - 32.5x = 850 - 750

5x = 100

x = 100/5 = 20

explain how it is possible that all proportional relationships are linear functions but not all linear functions are proportiona
OLEGan [10]

Proportional and linear functions are almost identical in form. The only difference is the addition of the “b” constant to the linear function. Indeed, a proportional relationship is just a linear relationship where b = 0, or to put it another way, where the line passes through the origin (0,0).

There are 24 pens in a desk drawer. The pens are either red or blue. The ratio of red pens to blue pens is 5:1. How many pens ar
Flura [38]

Answer:

The number of red pens is 20.

The number of blue pens is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, the ratio of number of red pens to the number of blue pens is 5 : 1.

∴ Let us assume that the number of red pens be 5<em>x</em> and number of blue pens be <em>x</em>.

Total number of pens in the desk drawer = 24

Now, according to question :

Number of red pens + Number of blue pens = 24

⇒5<em>x</em> + <em>x</em> = 24

⇒6<em>x</em> = 24

⇒x=\frac{24}{6}=4

So, number of red pens in the drawer = 5<em>x</em> = 5 × 4 = 20

Number of blue pens in the drawer = <em>x</em> = 4
