Answer:

Eli has saved $10

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let us denote Angela's saving by "x".

  If Eli's saving is $8 more than one-third of Angela's saving, then Eli's saving   is:

 [(1/3 × x) + 8 = x/3 + 8]

 We will make x/3 + 8 to have a common denominator:

 x/3 + 8 = (x+24)/3

 

 If Eli and Angela each saved $10 more, then their respective savings would have been:

(x+24)/3  +  10 for Eli

x+10 for Angela.

At this savings, Eli would have been $4 richer than Angela.

i.e   [((x + 24)/3) + 10] -  (x+10) = $4

 We will make [(x+24)/3] + 10 to have common denominator.

(x + 24 + 30)/3

= (x + 54)/3

 Then:

  [(x+54)/3]  -  [(x+10)/1] = 4

   [x+54-(3x+30)]/3 = 4/1

    (-2x + 24)/3 = 4

 

    cross multiply

  -2x + 24 = 12

    -2x = -12

       x = -12/-2

       x = 6

  Since Eli's saving = x/3 + 8

Then his actual saving

  = 6/3 + 8

  = 2 + 8

  = $10

Answer:

Eli has saved $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the first letters of their names to represent them.

A for Angela and E for ELi

So, from the first statement, we can write out an equation: E = \frac{1}{3}A + 8, that is, <em>one-third of Angela's savings + $8 will give us Eli's savings</em>

From the second statement, we can write out: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4 which means that <em>if $10 is added to both their savings, Eli will still have $4 more than Angela.</em>

So, we can solve both equations;

Equation 1: E = \frac{1}{3}A + 8

Equation 2: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4; which can be rewritten as E + 10 = A + 14

and then E = A + 4

The two equations (in bold), can then be solved simultaneously.

Let us carry out this operation to <u>eliminate the E:</u> Subtract equation 1 from equation 2, so that;

A + 4 - ( \frac{1}{3}A + 8) = E - E

\frac{2}{3}A - 4 = 0

\frac{2}{3}A = 4

A = 4 × \frac{3}{2} = 6

So, if A is 6, and E = A + 4 (from equation 2, that means that E = 6 + 4 = 10

So, Eli has saved $10, while Angela has saved $6.

If we check what was said in the question about their savings, which is what we have represented using the equations, the answers can be confirmed.

A withdrawal from an account means taking money out of your account. That means whatever money you have in there becomes a smaller amount because you're subtracting money from the account.

So, to work out how much money Jan withdrew as a negative sum, you just have to look at how much she took out:

-25 - 45 - 75 = -$145

This means Jan took out $145 from her account, and we write it with a negative sign because it's money that's going to be taken away from whatever's in there.

The same thing applies to Julie:

-35 - 55 - 65 = -$155

Julie took out $155 from her account, so her withdrawals were -$155.

Therefore, your final answer for 24a. is -$145 and your answer for 24b. is -$155.

Is it possible to determine the form factor without opening the case?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Sometimes the form factor can be determined without opening the case and the form factor can be predicted on the basis of the shape of the case.

But, since the mother board is must to determine a form factor, you have to open the case before you can determine the form factor. Unless the manufacturer tags the details of the motherboard outside the case which is very rare to see. Also most cases easily show the type but that is not enough to determine the form factor.
