Answer: Meghan spent $687.5 per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money that Scott spends per year for auto insurance.

Meghan spends 25% more each year for auto insurance than Scott. The value of 25% of the amount that Scott spends per year is

25/100 × x = 0.25 × x = 0.25x

Therefore, the amount that Meghan spends would be

x + 0.25x = 1.25x

If the amount that they spent together is $1237.50 per year, it means that

x + 1.25x = 1237.5

2.25x = 1237.5

x = 1237.5/2.25

x = 550

The amount that Meghan spent per year would be

1.25 × 550 = 687.5

Answer:

  • your graph is correct
  • y = 3x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows you the line has a "rise" of 1-(-2) = 3 for a "run" of 2-1 = 1, so the slope is 3/1 = 3.

The y-intercept is seen to be -5, so the equation is ...

  y = mx +b . . . . . where m is the slope (3) and b is the y-intercept (-5)

  y = 3x -5

__

The points and line are plotted correctly, so you already have your graph.

If r^n=a, then which of the following are true statements? Check all that apply.
Vanyuwa [196]
A. This is correct. When you transfer n to the other side, that would be the reciprocal power of a.

b. This is incorrect, because this contradicts with choice a.

c. This is correct. When a number is raised to a "1/n" fraction, that is equivalent to the nth root of the number.

d. This is incorrect, because it is not equivalent to the given equation.

<em>Thus, the answers are A and C.</em>
