At the bank, Derek made 7 withdrawals, each in the same amount. His brother, John, made 5 withdrawls, each in the same amount.

Let x be  the amount of one of Derek's withdrawals

Each of John's withdrawals was $5 more than each withdrawal that Derek made.

x + 5 is t the amount of one of John's withdrawals

Derek made 7 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 7 times = 7x

John made 5 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 5 times = 5(x+5)

Both Derek and John withdrew the same amount of money in the end

(A)7x = 5(x+5)

(B) Solve for x

7x = 5x + 25

Subtract 5x from both sides

2x = 25

Divide by 2

x = 12.5

(C) check your solution

we plug in 12.5 for x in 7x= 5x + 25

7(12.5) = 5(12.5) + 25

87.5 = 62.5+ 25

87.5 = 87.5

(D) Each brother withdrawal 87.5 dollars

Which rule can be used to describe the growth of the y-values of the function y =12x over each interval from x=-1 to x=3
pav-90 [236]

The function y=12x when plotted using the interval of x-values from -1 to 3 will give a straight line on a given plot. Therefore the function rule of a line y=mx+b can be used to describe the growth or progression of this function. The rule states that y is directly proportional to x.

NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE HELP

From point A to C, which is the length of the entire line, it's 3x + 1.
AB = 2x + 4
BC = 10

This means that AB + BC = AC

All you have to do is plug in the equations.

(2x + 4) + (10) = (3x + 1)
2x + 14 = 3x + 1
2x + 13 = 3x
13 = x

Now plug in the value of x (13) into the AC equation (3x + 1).
AC = 3(13) + 1
AC = 39 + 1
AC = 40

The answer is:
a. 40
