Let's call job one x.
Job two can be y.
Jason earned $3,700 more from job y than x. Therefore y = x + 3700
From the two jobs, Jason earned $15,900. This can be written as x + y = 15900.
Now substitute y for x + 3700:
x + x + 3700 = 15900
2x + 3700 = 15900
Subtract 3700 from both sides:
2x = 12200
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 6100
Take the original equation x + y = 15900 and substitute x with 6100:
6100 + y = 15900
y = 9800
Job one (x) paid Jason $6,100.
Job two (y) paid Jason $9,800.
Answer:
= 3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of a geometric sequence is
= a₁
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 30 and r =
, thus
= 30
= 30 ×
=
=
= 3.75
She will be 16 and a half i just dd the math i promise u:)
Let us assume the first number = x
Then the second number = 5x -2
The third number = x + 4
The total number that needs to be divided into three parts is 219
Then we can write the equation as
x + 5x - 2 + x + 4 = 219
7x + 2 = 219
7x = 219 - 2
7x = 217
x = 217/7
= 31
Then
First number = 31
Second number = 5x - 2
= (5 * 31) - 2
= 155 -2
= 153
Third number = x + 4
= 31 + 4
= 35
So the three numbers are 31, 153 and 35.
Y=2x+0
the y intercept is 0 and the slope is 2/1
