Rosita and Garth are saving up for a vacation, and begin with a certain amount saved each. If Rosita works 5 hours, she will hav

e $128. If she works 7 hours, she will have $164. If Garth works 3 hours, he will have $124. If he works 8 hours, he will have $194. They want to know when they will have saved the same amount of money and how much each will have saved.

Treat each (time, money) pair as an (x, y) pair, and get the slope of the line:
For Rosita, (5, 128), (7, 164): m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (164 - 128)/(7 - 5) = 18, implying that she earns $18/hr. The y-intercept is calculated as: y = 18x + b, 128 = 18*5 + b, b = $38, meaning that she started with $38. Rosita's equation is y = 18x + 38.
For Garth, (3, 124), (8, 194): m = (194 - 124)/(8 - 3) = 14. For 124 = 14*3 + b, b = $82. Garth's equation is y = 14x + 82

To find out when they will have saved the same amount, both equations would have the same y-value:
18x + 38 = 14x + 82
4x = 44
x = 11 hours
y = 18*11 + 38 = $236 (alternatively, y = 14*11 + 82 = 236)
This means that Rosita and Garth will have both saved $236 after 11 hours of working.

Which function describes the arithmetic sequence shown?
Lynna [10]

f(x)= -2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let the sequence given here is -5, -7, -9, -11, -13 ......

Here the first term (a₁) of sequence is -5

And the common difference between the numbers in the sequence is

d= (-7-(-5)) = -7+5 = -2

Let the number of terms be x

Step 2;

To find the sequence function basic arithmetic sequence formula is

aₙ = a₁ + d( x-1)

Applying the values we get

f(X) = -5 + ((-2)(X-1))

on simplification

f(X) = -5 + (-2X+2)

f(X)= -5+2-2X

f(X)= -3-2X

Need help asapppp !!!!
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Both

Claire

Andre

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to determine whether each point lies on Claire's line (blue) and whether it lies on Andre's line (black).

Point A is the intersection of both lines, hence the statement represents them both.

Point B only lies on Claire's line.

Point C is the start of Andre's line.

Point D is outside of both lines.

Nathan usually drinks 37 ounces of water per day. He read that he should drink 62 ounces of water per day. If he starts drinking
Bad White [126]

Answer:

68%

Step-by-step explanation:

The increase is (62 - 37), or 25, ounces.  Comparing this to the original quantity (37 oz), we divide 25 oz. by 37 oz., obtaining 0.676 (a ratio).  Multiplying this ratio by 100%, we get 68% (to the nearest percent).
