Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
Please, see the attached file.
Thanks.
2(n - 1) + 4n = 2(3n - 1)
2n - 2 + 4n = 6n -2
6n - 2 = 6n - 2 (equal)
6n - 6n = 2 - 2
0 = 0
whatever value you put into the place of n, you'll get 0 = 0
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
Exact Form:
c=1/4
Decimal Form:
c=0.25
1/2 x > 0.4x
where Robert's spending is greater than Rosa's spending.
Allowance of Rosa = Allowance of Robert
let x = allowance
Rosa : video games = 0.4(x) ; pizza = 2/5 (x)
Robert : video games = 1/2 (x) ; pizza = 0.25 (x)
let us assume that their allowance is 100 each week. so, x = 100
Rosa : video games = 0.40(100) = 40
pizza 2/5 (100) = 200/5 = 40
total spending: 40 + 40 = 80
Robert : video games = 1/2 (100) = 50
pizza 0.25 (100) = 25
total spending: 50 + 25 = 75
Spending on video games
Rosa = 40
Robert = 50
Robert spent more of his allowance on video games than Rosa.
1/2 x > 0.4x
