Answer:

216 US dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount he earned for babysitting be x

He spent 1/4 of x on guitar=(1/4)×x=1/4x

He gave 1/4 of x to charity= (1/4)×x=1/4x

Equation 1

Total amount left=(Total amount earned -Total amount spent)

Total amount earned=x

Total amount spent=(Spent on Guitar+Spent on Charity)=(1/4x)+(1/4x)=1/2x=0.5x

Total amount left=108 US dollars

Substituting in equation 1

108=(x-0,5x)

Solving

0.5x/0.5=108/0.5

x=216 US dollars

He started with 216 US dollars

A century year such as 1900, 2000, or 2100 is a leap year only if it is a multiple of 400
blondinia [14]
If this is a true or false question, then the answer is true. This is because we technically have 365.2425 days in a year and if you add an extra day every 4 years, you get an average of 365.25. It is A LOT of math, but even though there was an extra day in 1896 and 1904, there was no leap year in 1900 because of the 400 multiple rule.

Answer:

type 2 in the first box,

13/4 in the second box, and

-9/8 in the third one

Step-by-step explanation:Notice that you are asked to write the following quadratic expression in vertex form, so you need to find the "x" value of the vertex, and then the "y" value of the vertex:

x_{vertex}= -b/2a

Which in our case is: -13/4

and the value of the y for the vertex is obtained using the functional expression when x equals -13/4:

f(-13/4)= -9/8

Then your expression for this quadratic should be:

f(x)=2\,(x+\frac{13}{4} )^2+(-\frac{9}{8})

Then type 2 in the first box, 13/4 in the second box, and -9/8 in the third one
