The <em>correct answers</em> are:
It would take 5 months and she would save $250.
Explanation:
Let m be the number of months.
For the first way of saving, $200 up front and $10 each month, the expression would be
200+10m.
For the second way of saving, $100 up front and $30 each month, the expression would be
100+30m.
Setting them equal gives us the equation
200+10m = 100+30m
Subtract 10m from each side:
200+10m-10m = 100+30m-10m
200 = 100+20m
Subtract 100 from each side:
200-100 = 100+20m-100
100 = 20m
Divide both sides by 20:
100/20 = 20m/20
5 = m
It would take 5 months.
$200 up front and $10 each month for 5 months:
200+10m
200+10(5)
200+50
250
She would save $250.
Answer:
Read the sentence below, which appears in the brochure “Nanotechnology: Big Things from a Tiny World.” As you read, look for context clues that could help you define any scientific terms.
Scientists have also developed sensors to measure pesticide levels in the field, allowing farmers to use less while still protecting their plants.

Answer:
(9, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
the given points are
(3, 2)
(6, 4)
so, can you see, how the sequence continues ?
I see immediately that for every 3 additional units of x we add 2 units of y.
so, yes, the next point in the sequence is
(6 + 3, 4 + 2) = (9, 6).
so, this point (or ordered pair) follows the same ratio or proportional relationship between x and y as the points already in the graph.
in other words, they are on the same line following the same slope ("y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another).
Answer:
a. 10 + 2.50x
b. 60
c. 100
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 10 + 2.50x
b. 10 + 2.50(20)
= 10 + 50
= 60
c. 260 = 10 + 2.50x
250 = 2.50x
250/2.50 = x
x = 100
