Answer:
x + (5x-9)
Step-by-step explanation:
x stands for the number of coins Nancy has
Kevin has 9 less than 5 times what Nancy has, so his part of the expression is 5x-9
To find the total number of coins they have, you have to add Nancy's number of coins x plus Kevin's number of coins 5x-9
x + (5x-9)
But you have to put parentheses around Kevin's 5x-9 so that part of the expression is calculated first, as per order of operations
Answer:
Directly, it would be 96/100. However, we can reduce it to become 48/50 = <u>24/25.</u>
(underlined is simplest answer)
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
25m+100−24m−75=68
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
25m+100−24m−75=68
25m+100+−24m+−75=68
(25m+−24m)+(100+−75)=68(Combine Like Terms)
m+25=68
m+25=68
Step 2: Subtract 25 from both sides.
m+25−25=68−25
m=43
Answer:
m=43
We are asked to determine the present value of an annuity that is paid at the end of each period. Therefore, we need to use the formula for present value ordinary, which is:
Where:
Since the interest is compounded semi-annually this means that it is compounded 2 times a year, therefore, k = 2. Now we need to convert the interest rate into decimal form. To do that we will divide the interest rate by 100:
Now we substitute the values:
Now we solve the operations, we get:
Therefore, the present value must be $39462.50
Look at the first line: y = (3/5)x - 3. What happens if you multiply each term by 5, to eliminate the fraction?
5y = 3x - 3
Compare this to the second equation,
5y - 3x = -10, or 5y = 3x - 10.
The coefficients of x and y (as 3 and 5 here) determine the slope of a straight line. Since 5y = 3x is present in both equations, the two lines MUST be parallel.
y = 4
4y = 6 => y = 6/4
y+4 and y =3/2 are both horizontal lines. Since they are horiz., they are parallel.
