Let his total money be x.
He spent (3/7)*x of his money.
He gave 1/4(x-3/7x) to his sister. 
which is : (1/4)*(4/7)*x = (1/7)*x 
Now,
How much money he have in the beginning = 
(3/7)*x+(1/7)*x+120=x
(4/7)*x+120=x
120=x-(4/7)*x
120=(3/7)*x
x=120*7/3 [cross multiplication]
x=280.

So, Alex had $280 in the beginning.

PLEASE HELP! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!! (no trolls) PLEASE SHOW WORK OR GIVE EXPLANATION!!!!!!
IgorLugansk [536]

explanation:

The fastest way to find the missing endpoint is to determine the distance from the known endpoint to the midpoint and then performing the same transformation on the midpoint.  In this case, the x-coordinate moves from 4 to 2, or down by 2, so the new x-coordinate must be 2-2 = 0.  The y-coordinate moves from 4 to -5, or down by 9, so the new y-coordinate must be -5-9 = -14.

 

An alternate solution would be to substitute (4,4) for (x1,y1) and (2,-5) for (x,y) into the midpoint formula:

x=(x1+x2)/2

y=(y1+y2)/2

Solving each equation for (x2,y2) yields the solution (0,-14).

Movie ticket sales: 6x+9y=1500 which graph shows this relationship
andrezito [222]
Si you would subtract 6x from both sides so you would have 9y=1500-6x. Then you would divide both sides by 9 and get y=166.66-6/9x. The -6/9x can be reduced to -2/3x and that is your slope or your
