<span>TLDR: Equation is 5(10 + x) = 6x. x = 50, so Sheila deposited $50 each 6 trips. Sherri deposited $60 each 5 trips. Both of them deposited $300 in total.

</span>Sherri deposited $10 more into her bank account than Sheila each 5 times. Expression: 5(x + 10). 

Sheila deposited money 6 times
Expression: (6)(x) or 6x

Put it all together and the equation is 5(x+10)=6x. 

Solve by distributing the 5 on the right side of the equation 5(x+10) to get 5x + 50 = 6x. Subtract 5x on both sides of equation. 5x - 5x + 50 = 6x - 5x to get 50 = 1x. Divide by 1 on each side to isolate the variable. x = 50. Sheila paid $50 in each of her 6 deposits, so she deposited $300 in total. Check the equation by replacing x with 50. 

Sherri paid $60 in each of her 5 deposits because 50 + 10 is 60. 60 by 5 is also $300.

Make 2 equations one for the price and one for quantity.  so first set x = AA and y= AAA. for price 37= 1x+.75y. now for the quantity we have x+y=42. Now we can solve by subtracting the equation for price from the equation for quantity and we get .25y =5. solving this we get y= 20. Now we plug that value back in and solve for x. 22 double A's and 20 triple A's.

Madison wants to order t-shirts for the university which consists of about 12000 students. she takes a random sample to figure o
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

She should order a total of 5,160 medium sized t-shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of medium sized t-shirt to be ordered, we shall be using the proportion of students that wanted medium sized t-shirt in her survey to multiply the total number of students that we have.

From the question, we can identify that the probability that a student will like a medium sized t-shirt is simply 129/300

Now we have about 12000 students in the University, using the probability from the survey, the number of medium sized t shirt she should order would be;

129/300 * 12,000 = 129 * 40 = 5,160 medium sized t-shirts

Since the rate of descent is a constant this is a linear equation and can be expressed as:

h=vt+b, where h=feet, v=slope or rate, b=y-intercept (y value when x=0 which is the initial height)

h=-2t+b, using the point (3,67) we can solve for b, or the initial height

67=-2(3)+b

67=-6+b

73=b  so the initial height was 73 ft and the height equation is then:

h(t)=67-2t so when t=8 you have:

h(8)=67-2(8)

h(8)=67-16

h(8)=51 ft
