Use algebra.

Let the number of stickers each had in the beginning = x stickers.

Ray lost 10 we represent this by

x - 10 ( = no. stickers he has now)

Tom bought 200 so the number of stickers he now has

= x + 200

Rays has 1/4 as much as Tom so we can now create the equation

1/4(x + 200) = x - 10

Soling for x:-

1/4 x + 50 = x - 10

60 = 3/4 x

x = 60 * 4/3 = 80

Answer they had 80 stickers at first.

A line containing the points (9, 1) and (5, 5) intersects the x -axis at what point?

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

It intersects the x-axis at x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find slope m

m = (5 - 1)/(5 - 9)

m = 4/-4

m = -1

y = -x + b

Step 2: Find b

5 = -5 + b

b = 10

Step 3: Rewrite equation

y = -x + 10

Step 4: Find x when y = 0

0 = -x + 10

-10 = -x

x = 10

So the graph crosses the x-axis at 10.

Sid starts with savings of £13

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The savings of Sid and Tim will be in 17:9 in 6 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial savings of Sid = £ 13

Initial savings of Tim = £ 0

For each successive week Sid saved = £ 3.5

For each successive week Tim saved = £ 3

Let us assume that after "x weeks" the amounts of Sid and Tim are in ratio 17:9.

If Sid saves £ 3.5 in one week, in x weeks he will £ 3.5x. Since he had £ 13 initially, total amount he would have in x weeks will be £ (13 + 3.5x)

If Time saves £ 3 one week, in x weeks he will save £ 3x. Since, he didn't have any money initially, in x weeks he would have saved £ 3x

The ratio of their savings in x weeks would be 17:9

So,

Sid's saving : Tim's saving = 17 : 9

Using the values of expressions, we get:

$13+3.5x:3x=17:9\\\\\frac{13+3.5x}{3x}=\frac{17}{9}\\\\ 9(13+3.5x)=17(3x)\\\\ 117+31.5x=51x\\\\ 117=51x-31.5x\\\\ 117=19.5x\\\\ x=\frac{117}{19.5}\\\\ x=6$
