X+ y = 44
x - y = 6

2x = 50
x = 25
y = 44-x = 19
Answer:
Dalton spent 6 years and 11 months in high school.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dalton were in high school at the age = 11 years and 3 months He left high school at the age = 18 years and 2 months
Time spent by Dalton in high school = 18 years 2 months - 11 years and 3 months
= (18 - 11) years and (2 - 3) months
= 7 years - 1 month
= (6 + 1) years - 1 month
= 6 years + 1 year - 1 month
= 6years + 12 months - 1 month
= 6 years + 11 months
Therefore, Dalton spent 6 years and 11 months in high school.
If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.
Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.
Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
Answer: $53,330
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an exponential function so to find the salary in 3 years, you need to use a future value formula such as :
= Amount * ( 1 + rate) ^ number of years
Amount = $51,000
Rate = 1.5%
Number of years = 3 years
Salary = 51,000 * ( 1 + 1.5%)³
= 53,329.59
= $53,330
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 8x² + 8x - 96
y = 8(x² + x - 12)
y = 8(x + 4)(x - 3)
When y = 0, 8(x + 4)(x - 3) = 0.
=> x = -4 or x = 3. (B)
