Remark
The basic equation is y = mx + b
y = the total amount of money
m = The amount of money he save each month (it is a constant).
b = the y intercept which is his starting amount or 120 dollars.
x = the number of months (this is a variable).
After 3 months he has 840 dollars. That's y
840 = 3*m + 120 Subtract 120 from both sides
840 - 120 = 3m
720 = 3m
240 = m So he saves 240 every month.
Now the equation becomes.
y = 240 * x + 120
Savings after 24 months
y = Total
m = 240 dollars/month
x = 24 months
b = 120
y = 24*240 + 120
y = 5760 + 120
y = 5580
He had 5580 dollars after saving for 2 years (or 24 months total) This assumes that when he started, he took his birthday money and added a 1 month payment to it
Answer:
60 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is the sum of the four sides of a rectangle
the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + breadth)
2 x (10 + 20)
2 x (30)
= 60 feet
Alternatively, you can add the sides together : 10 + 10 + 20 + 20 = 60 feet
So what you need to do is to put X alone so what you do is +3 on both sides so only 7x=7x is left. then do the opposite and divide 7 with 7 you get 1x thats your answer
Answer:
3x+12
Step-by-step explanation:
-0.5x*2+4x+12
Multiply 0.5x*2=x
= -x+4x+12
Add similar elements -x+4x+12
= 3x+12
(4 feet wide), 12 feet in length. 4*3=12 4*12=48
