Jaxon has $65 in his savings account. He deposits $15 every week. His father also deposits $25 into the account every time Jaxon

mows the lawn. His savings account balance can be shown with the following expression: 65 + 15w + 25m
Part A: Identify a coefficient, a variable, and a constant in this expression. (3 points)

Part B: If Jaxon saves for 20 weeks and mows the lawn 3 times, how much will he have in his account? Show your work to receive full credit. (4 points)

Part C: If Jaxon had $75 in his savings account, would the coefficient, variable, or constant in the expression change? Why? (3 points)

Part A:
<span>In the expression given, 65 + 15w + 25m: 65 = constant; 15 and 25 = coefficients; w and m = variables.</span>  
Thus, to define:
Constant is a number which the value is already fixed.
Variable is the unknown value in the algebraic expression.
Coefficient is a number which is placed before a variable that indicates how many times the variable is to be multiplied.

65 + 15w + 25m 
65 = 15 (1) + 25 (2)

Part B:
Let x be the savings account balance
W = # of weeks
M = frequency of mowing the lawn  

First, let’s use the expression given above: 15w + 25m.
Since we are solving for a constant, only the variables and coefficient of the expression given are to be used.  
Then, we substitute the variables’ corresponding values.
X = 15 (20) + 25 (3)
Therefore, the savings deposits will amount to:
X = 300 + 75 X = $375  

Part C:
$75 + w + 3m  
Constant will be $75.
Variables: w = no weekly deposit, m = 3
Coefficients: w = 1, m = remains at 25  

This is because we need to adjust the variables and coefficients to solve for the constant.

The sum of four consecutive odd integers is -72. Write an equation to model this situation, and ind the values of the four integ
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

  • equation: (x-3) +(x-1) +(x+1) +(x+3) = -72
  • values: -21, -19, -17, -15

Step-by-step explanation:

When dealing with consecutive integers, it often simplifies the problem to work with their average value. We know the average value of the integers in this problem is the even integer between the middle two. We can call it x, and write the equation ...

  (x-3) +(x-1) +(x+1) +(x+3) = -72

This simplifies to ...

  4x = -72 . . . . . . . we knew this before we wrote the above equation, since the sum of 4 numbers is 4 times their average.

  x = -18 . . . . . . . . the middle number of the sequence

So, the numbers are:

  • -18-3 = -21
  • -18-1 = -19
  • -18+1 = -17
  • -18+3 = -15

_____

A more conventional approach is to define the variable as the integer at one end or the other of the sequence. If we make it be the lowest number, then the equation is ...

  (x) +(x +2) +(x +4) +(x +6) = -72

and that simplifies to ...

  4x +12 = -72 . . . . . collect terms

  4x = -84 . . . . . . . . subtract 12

  x = -21 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Now, the other three numbers are found by adding 2, 4, and 6 to this one.

If the surface area of a cube is 384, what is the length of one of the sides of<br> the cube?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

S = 8

Each side of a face is 8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the cube is 384 units.

One face of the cube has an area of s^2

A cube has 6 faces

6s^2 = 384                                 Divide by 6

s^2 = 384 / 6

s^2 = 64                                     Take the square root of both sides

sqrt(s^2) = sqrt(64)

s = 8
