4a + 3 - 9 = -7 + 2 + a
4a - 6 = -5 + a
4a - a = -5 + 6
3a = 1 / : 3
a = 1/3
Well 1/3 for savings means that you save 1/3*4500 or 1500 dollars.
You then have $3000 left. Of this if you spend 50% on food, you spend 0.5*3000 or 1500 dollars on food.
Answer:
A. 4x²+20x+25
Step-by-step explanation:
Because of PEMDAS, you calculate the value inside of the parenthesis first, so you expand [2x+1-(4x+6)]:
2x+1-4x-6 = -2x-5.
Then apply the exponent:
(-2x-5)² = (-2x-5)(-2x-5) = 4x²+10x+10x+25 = 4x²+20x+25
Let the distance of the first part of the race be x, and that of the second part, 15 - x, then
x/8 + (15 - x)/20 = 1.125
5x + 2(15 - x) = 40 x 1.125
5x + 30 - 2x = 45
3x = 45 - 30 = 15
x = 15/3 = 5
Therefore, the distance of the first part of the race is 5 miles and the time is 5/8 = 0.625 hours or 37.5 minutes
The distance of the second part of the race is 15 - 5 = 10 miles and the time is 1.125 - 0.625 = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes.
The item would cost approximately $45. You can do this by taking the price of the item ($60) and multiply by the percent (25%). 60 x 0.25 = 15. That is the discount you would subtract from the item itself. Now you would take the original price ($60) and subtract the discount ($15). 60 - 15 = 45.
