In order to solve this problem, we transform the statements into
algebraic expressions. First, we assign the variables.
Let:
x = Gina’s number
y = Sara’s number
For the first equation, we show that Gina’s number is greater
than Sara’s number by 2. For the second equation, we show that the sum of both
numbers is 68.
<span>(1)
</span>x – y = 2
<span>(2)
</span>x + y = 68
<span>We
add the two expressions, which result in the expression: 2x = 70. Then we
divide 70 by 2 to get the value of x. We then have x = 35. Using the second
equation, we solve for y = 68-35. This gives y = 33. To summarize, Gina’s
number is 35 while Sara’s number is 33.</span>

Answer:
$1000 ; 500 ; 1000 ; y = 500x + 1000
Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph, the initial deposit which started the savings account is $1000 ; this is the value on the y - intercept, the value in the account at time or period = 0.
The slope :
x1 = 0 ; y1 = 1000
x2 = 6 ; y2 = 4000
Slope = Rise / Run
Rise = y2 - y1 = 4000 - 1000 = 3000
Run = x2 - x1 = 6 - 0 = 6
Hence,
Slope = 3000 / 6
Slope = 500
y - intercept = 1000 (from. Graph)
Equation in slope intercept form:
General form : y = mx + c
m = slope ; c = intercept
Equation is written as ;
y = 500x + 1000
