After 14 weeks, both Megan and Conner will have saved the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount Megan have = $50

Amount saved each week = $5.50

Amount Conner have = $18.50

Amount saved each week = $7.75

Let,

x be the number of weeks.

According to given statement;

M(x) = 50+5.50x    Eqn 1

C(x) = 18.50+7.75x   Eqn 2

For amount to be same;

Eqn 1 = Eqn 2

50+5.50x=18.50+7.75x\\50-18.50=7.75x-5.50x\\31.50=2.25x\\2.25x=31.50\\

Dividing both sides by 2.25

\frac{2.25x}{2.25}=\frac{31.50}{2.25}\\x=14

After 14 weeks, both Megan and Conner will have saved the same amount.

Rectangle pqrs is shown with its diagonals, pr and qs. what type of triangle is △str?right triangleequilateral triangleisosceles
Rainbow [258]
Since you did not provide a diagram, I made one for easier reference. You are asking what kind of triangle is the one shaded in red. Since a rectangle has two sets of congruent sides, their diagonals are also equal. When two diagonals intersect each other, they make 4 congruent sides. Thus, the triangle is an isosceles triangle, since it has two equal sides ST and TR.

<u>Red</u>

This is a circle with center (h, k) at (0,0) and radius (r) = 6

Formula: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Answer: x² + y² = 36

***************************************

<u>Blue</u>

This is a circle with center (h, k) at (2,2) and radius (r) = 1

Formula: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Answer: (x - 2)² + (y - 2)² = 1

***************************************

<u>Green:</u>

This is a circle with center (h, k) at (-2,-2) and radius (r) = 1

Formula: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Answer: (x + 2)² + (y + 2)² = 1

***************************************

<u>Purple:</u>

This is an ellipse with center (h, k) at (0,-2) and radius on the x-axis (a) = 3 and radius on the x-axis (b) = 1

Formula: \frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}} +\frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1

Answer: \frac{x^{2}}{9} +(y+2)^{2}=1

***************************************

<u>Black:</u>

This is a parabola with vertex (h, k) at (0,-6) and vertical stretch (a) = -1

Formula: y = a(x - h)² + k

Answer: y = -x² - 6

the length of a soccer pitch is 20 m less than twice its width. the area of the pitch is 6000m^2. find its dimensions.
Setler79 [48]
X=width of a coccer pitch
2x-20=length of a soccer pitch
Area (rectangule)=length x width
We suggest this equation:
x(2x-20)=6000
2x²-20x=6000
2x²-20x-6000=0
x²-10x-3000=0
We solve this quadratic equation:

x=[10⁺₋√(100-4*1*-3000)]/2=[10⁺₋√(100+12000)]/2=
=(10⁺₋110)/2
we have two solutions:
x₁=(10-110)/2=-50, invalid solution.
x₂=(10+110)/2=60

x=60
2x-20=2(60)-20=120-20=100

Solution: the length is 100 m, and the width is 60 m.

To check:
Area=100 m*60 m=6000 m²
The twice of width is =2(60 m)=120 m,
20 m less than twice its width is: 120 m-20 m=100 m=the length.
