Teacher c makes the most money at the end of their career since the model is entirely linear.
Answer: sally initially has $240, Tom initially has $180.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let initial amount of money sally has = x
Then, initial amount tom has = 75% * x = 0.75x
Now to present,
Amount sally has = x -120
Amount tom has = [x - 120] + [50% * (x-120)]
= x - 120 + 0.5x - 180
= 1.5x - 180
Since Tom didn't spend, it means this is the same amount tom has then we equate both equations.
0.75x = 1.5x - 180
180 = 0.75x
x = 240
Therefore, initial money of sally of sally = $240
Initial money of tom = 240 * 0.75 = $180.
First question:
1. Set equations equal to each other so 5x-9=2x+6
2. Put x's on one side so that 3x=15
3. Divide by 3 so that x=15
4. Substitute 15 in for x so that y=2(15)+6
5. Solve for y so that y=36
6. Thus the equations intersect at (15,36)
Second question:
1. Since for lines y=mx+b, and m=slope=3 you only need to write an equation with slope 3
2. y=3x+b, b can be any number
Answer:
p(x) = (5x - 1) (x + 4) (x - 2)
