Remark
The basic equation is y = mx + b
y = the total amount of money
m = The amount of money he save each month (it is a constant).
b = the y intercept which is his starting amount or 120 dollars.
x = the number of months (this is a variable).
After 3 months he has 840 dollars. That's y
840 = 3*m + 120 Subtract 120 from both sides
840 - 120 = 3m
720 = 3m
240 = m So he saves 240 every month.
Now the equation becomes.
y = 240 * x + 120
Savings after 24 months
y = Total
m = 240 dollars/month
x = 24 months
b = 120
y = 24*240 + 120
y = 5760 + 120
y = 5580
He had 5580 dollars after saving for 2 years (or 24 months total) This assumes that when he started, he took his birthday money and added a 1 month payment to it

59°
Step-by-step explanation:
½×(175-57) = ½×118 = 59°
Answer:
14 quarters and 28 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
System of Equations where x = number of quarters and y = number of nickels
(1) equation with value of each coin
0.25(x)+0.05(y) = 4.90
(2) total number of coins
x + y = 42
Solve system of equations using either substitution or elimination
(elimination multiplying equation 2 by -0.5)
.25(x) + 0.05(y) = 4.90
-0.05(x) - 0.05(y) = 42 * (-0.05)
(3) Resulting equation
.20(x) = 2.8
x = 14
plug x into equation 2
14 + y = 42
y = 28
There are 14 quarters and 28 nickels in Mary's collection.
The cost of my me knife is $5.52
-1 * (-4) = 4; 3 * (-4) = -12; 6 * (-4) = -24; -3 * (-4) = 12
