So for this problem we can recognize that it's a system of linear equations

recall the slope intercept form of a line
y = mx + b
given the info we can write two linear equations one for John and one for Lyndon

take a look at johns part of the question. we can see that his bank starts with 100 dollars and every day after he saves 20 dollars. Now we can see that the 100 is the y intercept or b of our equation because it's our initial amount and the rate of change or m of the equation is 25. filling in this info we get this as johns equation:

y = 25x + 100
now we can do the same for Lydon, she has 50 dollars to start and saves 30 dollars a day. So using the same steps as we did for John we get the equation
y = 30x + 50
now we can do a little trick, to find out when their bank amounts will be equal we set both equations equal to each other (we're just substituting y into the equation) So we get
25x + 100 = 30x + 50
now let's clean this up and solve for X with some algebra
100 = 30x - 25x + 50
subtract 25x
100 = 5x + 20
combine like terms
80 = 5x
subtract 20
x = 16
divide off 5 to get your x value

now we're almost done we just need to plug X back into any of our two equations we made at the beginning of the problem lets use johns equation and plug in 16 because as we found out x=16

y = 25(16) + 100
multiply and add to get
y = 500

now that we know
x = 16 \: \: and \: \: y = 500
we can finalize our answer answer to the system as a coordinate (x,y) and we'll get

(16,500)

since the questions asks after how many weeks though we would say 16 or the x value because in a time related problem, time is always the x value so the final answer is

16 \: \: weeks

If f(x) = 2x−5, then what is the value of f(2) + f(5)
DochEvi [55]
First of all f(2)=2(2)-5=-1 and f(5)=2(5)-5=5
so
f(2)+f(3)=-1+5=4

-x+4y=24 and -2x+y=-8 as an ordered pair
Stels [109]

Answer: (8,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to get a x or y by itself.

I choosed to get y by itself since it would be faster.

-2x + y = -8  (first get -2x to the other side so add 2x)

y = -8 + 2x (then you want to insert that to the other equation)

-x + 4( -8 +2x) = 24      ->    -x -32 + 8x = 24   ->   7x -32 = 24

(add 32 to the other side)

7x = 56 (divide 7 to 56 to get x) x = 8

now insert into the other equation

-2( 8 ) + y = -8     ->     -16 + y = -8 ( move -16 to the other side, so add 16)

then you get your answer, y= 8

Someone help me understand

Answer:

f¯¹(x) = 23/ (6x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (23 – 3x)/6x

The inverse, f¯¹, for the above function can be obtained as follow:

f(x) = (23 – 3x)/6x

Let y be equal to f(x)

Therefore, f(x) = (23 – 3x)/6x will be written as:

y = (23 – 3x)/6x

Next, interchange x and y.

This is illustrated below:

y = (23 – 3x)/6x

x = (23 – 3y)/6y

Next, make y the subject of the above expression. This is illustrated below:

x = (23 – 3y)/6y

Cross multiply

6xy = 23 – 3y

Collect like terms

6xy + 3y = 23

Factorise

y(6x + 3) = 23

Divide both side by (6x + 3)

y = 23/ (6x + 3)

Finally, replace y with f¯¹(x)

y = 23/ (6x + 3)

f¯¹(x) = 23/ (6x + 3)

Therefore, the inverse, f¯¹, for the function f(x) = (23 – 3x)/6x is

f¯¹(x) = 23/ (6x + 3)
