Her savings amounts after x months will be ...

... 400 + 20x

or

... 300 + 40x

You want to find x such that these are the same amount. So, we equate these values and solve for x.

... 400 + 20x = 300 + 40x

... 0 = -100 + 20x . . . . . . . . . subtract the left side

... 0 = -5 + x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

... 5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add the opposite of the constant

Using the first option, we find the savings amount to be

... 400 + 20·5 = 500

After 5 months, Tina will save $500 with either option.

_____

Once you have the expressions for the options, it is convenient to let a graphing calculator tell you the point where they are the same.

Will give brainliest Of the following sets, which numbers in {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} make the inequality 5x + 2 > 12 true? (5 points)
Radda [10]

Answer:

x = 3, 4, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the inequality

5x + 2 > 12 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

5x > 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x > 2

Thus the only values from the given set which make the inequality true are

x = 3, 4, 5

Markups The depth of water in a pond increases by 3% after a heavy rain. If the average depth of the water was 8.3 feet, what is
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: 8.55 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We should equal the average depth to 1, so if it raises 3%, it raises 0.03. Simply add the original (1) plus what it rose (0.03) and multiply the original by that, so 8.3 × 1.03 = new depth. The result is 8.549 feets.

A farmer wants to use 200 feet of fencing for a chicken pen he wants the width of the pen to be 20 feet what is the length of th
Dominik [7]
The length should be 80 feet.
This is because the width is 20 since there are two sides for the width in pen, we have to add 20+20.  This would equal 40. Then we need to subtract 40 from 200. 200-40 would be 160. Then since there are two sides for the length, we need to split that in half. 160÷2 would be 80. To double check, you can do 80+80, and that would still be 160. So the length of one side would be 80. But of course, this whole thing would only be right if the pen has four sides(but since I have seen many chicken pens, there were all rectangular)
