Keisha's penny bank is 2/3 full. After she removes 120 pennies, it is 1/2 full.How many pennies does Keisha's bank hold?

1 answer:

8 0

$let \: \\ x = the \: number \: of \: pennies \: the \\ \: bank \: holds\\ 120 + \frac{1}{2}x = \frac{2}{3}x \\ 120 = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{2}x \\ 120 = \frac{4}{6}x - \frac{3}{6}x \\ \frac{1}{6}x = 120 \: so \\ \: x = 120 \times 6 = 720$

use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point slope form passing through (-5,7) and (-8,6)

KengaRu [80]

Point slope form is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
where slope=m
and (x1,y1) is a given point

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(6-7)/(-8-(-5))=-1/(-8+5)=-1/-3=1/3

pick any point
(x,y)
(-5,7)

y-7=1/3(x+5) or
y-6=1/3(x+8)

Make 10 equations for 50,000

Kruka [31]

Answer:

1. 50 * 1,000 = 50,000

2. 49,001 + 999 = 50,000

3. 5 * 10,000 = 50,000

4. 100,000/2 = 50,000

5. 20,000 + 30,000 = 50,000

6. 50,000/1 = 50,000

7. 90,000 - 40,000 = 50,000
