Answer:

Brother's money  = $6

Money I have  = $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

<em>I have 3 times as much money as my brother: </em>

Money I have = 3x  

Where x is the money that my brother has:

Brother's money = x

<em>Our total is $24 </em>

So, 3x+x =24

Solving for x

3x+x=24

4x =24

x =24/4

x = 6

Replacing with the value of x.

Brother’s money = x = $6

Money i have = 3x =3(6) = $18

hodyreva [135]

recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.


let's say we have two trains, A and B, A is going at 85 mph and B at 65 mph.


they are 210 miles apart and moving toward each other, at some point they will meet, when that happens, the faster train A has covered say d miles, and the slower B has covered then the slack from 210 and d, namely 210 - d.


When both trains meet, A has covered more miles than B because A is faster, however the time both have been moving, is the same, say t hours.


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{Train A}&d&85&t\\ \textit{Train B}&210-d&65&t \end{array}\\\\ \dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=85t\\ 210-d=65t\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ 210-\boxed{85t}=65t \end{cases} \\\\\\ 210=150t\implies \cfrac{210}{150}=t\implies \cfrac{7}{5}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{one hour and 24 minutes}}{1\frac{2}{5}=t}

Factor the polynomial completely
aliina [53]

We have 2x^2-8.




First let us factor the 2 to obtain,


2(x^2-4)


We can now see clearly that the expression inside the parentheses is a difference of two squares.



We now write the 4 as 2². So that we obtain the expression,



2(x^2-2^2)


Recall that


a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)



Hence our expression becomes,




2(x+2)(x-2)



Therefore, when factored completely,




2x^2-8=2(x+2)(x-2)

I think the answer would be A because 5% ×100=0.05 , and in the question they have been telling us that it decreased by 5 from the last week so the equation would be g of the last week - 0.05
