Making a list helps organize the information in a word problem that can otherwise be overwhelming and confusing. Making lists put out a straightforward guide and help you break down the problem so you really understand what you need to do.
Word problem:
Maya has $55 and she gives her brother $10. She also gives her friend $15 and her sister $5. Her sister pays her back fully but her brother only pays back half of what he owed, promising to pay her back later. Her friend gives back 1/3 of what she owed, also promising to pay her back as soon as she can. How much money does Maya currently have?
In this problem, you have to process the money transactions and making a list will help you go step by step.
Answer:
The second option: 3 (6 - 5n)/20n
Step-by-step explanation:
Make sure all fractions have a common denominator:
Step 1. Find a common multiple between all three denominators
5, 4, and 10 all have a common multiple of 20. Proof: 5 × 4 = 20, 4 × 5 = 20, and 10 × 2 = 20
Step 2. Multiply the denominators to get to 20. Whatever you do to the bottom (denominator) must be done to the top (numerator).
1/5n × 4/4 = 4/20n
3/4 × 5n/5n = 15n/20n
7/10n × 2/2 = 14/20n
Your fractions now all have a common denominator of 20n.
Rewrite the equation using the new fractions:
4/20n - 15n/20n + 14/20n
Only focus on adding/subtracting the numerators; the denominators will stay the same: 20n.
(4 - 15n + 14)/20n
Combine like terms:
(18 - 15n)/20n
Factor out any numbers possible:
3(6 - 5n)/20n
Note* 3 go into both 18 and 15, which allows us to factor 3 out. 18 ÷ 3 = 6 and 15 ÷ 3 = 5, giving us our new numbers inside the parentheses.
Y=10(3)^3-12(3)
y=270-36
y=234
Answer:
f(x) = x² - 6x + 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form is ax² + bx + c = 0 or f(x) = ax² + bx + c
So we are going to expand the equation and combine like terms:
f(x) = (x - 3)² + 5
f(x) = x² - 3x - 3x + 9 + 5
f(x) = x² - 6x + 9 + 5
f(x) = x² - 6x + 14
Y = 2/3x - 12
You can get this because they will have the same slopes and you can solve for the intercept.
