Answer:

Paul have $250 and Rachel have $500 originally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel: 2x

Paul: x

If I gave Rachel $250, then:

Rachel: 2x + 250

Paul: 3x

We have he equation:

2x + 250 = 3x

2x - 3x = -250

-x = -250

x = 250

Let's make "x" the amount of Paul.

2x = Rachel.

This means that 2x + 250 = 3x.

Solve:

2x + 250 = 3x

2x - 3x = 250

-x = 250

x = 250

So that means Paul had 250 dollars.

And Rachel had 500 dollars.

Answer:

(-9, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so when you move an image to the right, you are moving along the x-axis, and when you move up, you are moving up the y-axis. So if the altered image is (x,y) and the values are (-5, -1), you reverse what has been done to the image. In this case, since we moved to the right 4 units, we know that means we added 4 to x, so we subtract 4 to get -9. And then, for the y-value, because we added 4, we do the opposite, and subtract 4 to get -5. So the pre-image should be (-9, -5)
