<u>Corrected Question</u>
Matt makes $80 a month mowing lawns. His friend James also mows lawns, but he makes x dollars less per month than Matt does. James makes a total of $816 per year. How much less each month does James make than Matt? Solve the linear equation to find the value for x
. Remember that x represents how much less per month James makes than Matt
Equation: 12(80 – x) = 816
Answer:
x=$12
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the given equation
12(80 – x) = 816
First, we distribute:
960-12x=816
Collect like terms
12x=960-816
12x=144
Divide both sides by 12
x=12
Therefore, James makes $12 less than Matt every Month.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) one solution
b) no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Systems of equations can be described as having one solution, no solution or infinite solutions:
One solution: 'x' and 'y' are equal to only one value
No solution: 'x' and 'y' can not be solved with the given equations
Infinite solutions: values for 'x' and 'y' include all real numbers
In order to evaluate the systems, putting them in the same format is your first step:
a) - y = -5x - 6 or y - 5x = 6
y - 5x = -6
Since both equations have the same expression 'y - 5x', but there are equal to opposite values, this system would have no solution, as this would not be possible to calculate.
b) y + 3x = -1
y = 3x -1 or y - 3x = -1
Solving for 'y' by adding the equations and eliminating 'x', gives us:
2y = -2 or y = -1
Using y = -1 to plug back into an equation and solve for 'x': -1 + 3x = -1 or x = 0. Since 'x' and 'y' can be solved for a value, the system has just one solution.
Answer:
$104
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert 60% to a decimal.
60% = 0.6
Now, multiply the cost to buy the camera ($65) by the decimal.
$65 × 0.6 = $39
Now, add this amount to the amount it cost to buy the camera.
$65 + $39 = $104
The selling price for the camera will be $104.
To solve:
(x-10)(x-10)
Answer: x^2-20x+100
