Answer:

$43 and

$17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount James have be A and that of jada be B

Given

James and jada have $60 together

That’s

A + B = 60

And james A has $9 more than twice jada’s amount

That’s

A = 9 + 2B

We now have two equations

1. A + B = 60 and

2. A = 9 + 2B

Now put 9 + 2B as A in equation one

A + B = 60

9 +2B + B = 60

9 + 3B = 60

Subtract 9 from both sides

9 - 9 + 3B = 60 - 9

3B = 51

Divide both sides by 3

3B/3 = 51/3

B = 17

Jada has $17

Recall

A = 9 + 2B

And B = 17

Therefore

A = 9 + 2 x 17

A = 9 + 34

A = 43

James has $43

Therefore, James has $43 while jada has $17

Expand and simplify. (x+4)squared
mylen [45]
(x+4)²= (x+4)×(x+4)

Use the FOIL method to simplify

F=First (multiply the first number of each expression)
O=Outside (multiply the outside edges of each expression)
I= Inside (multiply the inside edges of each expression)
L= Last (multiply the last number of each expression)

x times x= x²
x times 4= 4x
4 times x= 4x
4 times 4= 16

Add them together, we have: x²+4x+4x+16
We can simplify this by adding like terms
4x+4x=8x

Final expression= x² + 8x + 16

Solve 15 ≥ -3x or 2/3 x ≥ -2.
hjlf
Solve each of the equations independently, then determine if the are continuous or discontinuous. 
15≥-3x [start here]
-5≤x    [divide both sides by (-3). *Dividing by a negative number means the direction of the sign changes!]
x≥-5  [just turned around for analysis]

Next equation:
2/3x≥-2    [start here]
x≥-2(3/2)  [multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal, 3/2)
x≥-3

So, (according to the first equation) all values of x must be greater than, or equal to -5.

(According to the second equation) all values of x must be greater than, or equal to -3. 
So, when graphed on a number line, both equations graph in the same direction, so they are continuous.
