and news Jefferson deposits $626 into her account. They now have an equal amount of money in their accounts. How much money did each of them have at first?

Add the two deposited amounts to the first total of 5170 to give you 6246. you know they have an equal amount of money, so divide that by 2 to give the amount for each person (3123). then solve from there using what you know. x will be mr and y will be mrs
x+450=3123 subtract 450 and you have 2673
y+626=3123 subtract 626 and you have 2497
so Mr had 2673 and Mrs had 2497

I thought of a number, I added 1 3 4 to it, then I multiplied the result by 2 2 11 and I got 8. What was my number?

Valentin [98]

Given:

In a number, adding $1\dfrac{3}{4}$ , then multiplying the result by $2\dfrac{2}{11}$ we get 8.

To find:

The unknown number.

Solution:

Let the unknown number be x.

According to the question,

$(x+1\dfrac{3}{4})\times 2\dfrac{2}{11}=8$

$(x+\dfrac{1\times 4+3}{4})\times \dfrac{2\times 11+2}{11}=8$

$(x+\dfrac{4+3}{4})\times \dfrac{22+2}{11}=8$

$(x+\dfrac{7}{4})\times \dfrac{24}{11}=8$

Multiply both sides by $\dfrac{11}{24}$ .

$x+\dfrac{7}{4}=8\times \dfrac{11}{24}$

$x+\dfrac{7}{4}=\dfrac{11}{3}$

Subtract $\dfrac{7}{4}$ from both sides.

$x=\dfrac{11}{3}-\dfrac{7}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{44-21}{12}$

$x=\dfrac{23}{12}$

$x=1\dfrac{11}{12}$

Therefore, the required number is $1\dfrac{11}{12}$ .

3. the speedy fast ski resort has started to keep track of the number of skiers and snowboarders who bought season passes. the r

You can set this up as an algebraic equation using the ratio:

$\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{x}{x+1250}$
where x = number of skiers

Cross multiply:
x + 1250 = 2x

Solve for x:
-x = -1250
x=1250

To find the number of snowboarders, add 1250.
1250 + 1250 = 2500

1250 skiers and 2500 snowboarders bought season passes.

the line y=2x-4 is dilated bt a scale factor of 3/2 and centered at the origin. Write an equation that represent that image of t

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: $y = 2x -6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, If (x,y) represents the coordinates of a line, then after dilation about the origin by the scale factor k, the coordinates of the resultant line will get by the rule,

$(x,y)\rightarrow (kx,ky)$

Here, The equation of the given line is,

y = 2x - 4

x-intercept and y-intercept of the line are (2,0) and (0,-4) respectively,

Hence, the line y = 2x - 4 will be passes through the points (2,0) and (0,-4),

By the above property,

The dilated line about the origin will be passes through the points (3,0) and (0,-6), ( Because (3/2× 2, 3/2×0) = (3,0) and (3/2×0, 3/2×-4) = (0,-6) )

Hence, the equation of transformed line after dilation,

$y-0 = \frac{-6-0}{0-3}(x-3)$

$y-0=2(x-3)$

$y-0=2x-6$

$y=2x-6$
