Lets say Y is the amount they will save.
So Melinda's savings could be described by the equation Y=22+10X, where X is the number of weeks. The same goes to George, but his equation would be Y=10+13X.
To save the same amount, their equations must match:
22+10X = 10+13X
Solving this, one gets
12 = 3x
=> 4=x
So the answer is 4 weeks.
Answer:
P(algebra, then statistics) = 7/80
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of books is 7 + 8 + 5 = 20.
1. P(algebra, then statistics)
The probability that the first book is an algebra book is 7/20.
Carlos then replaces the book, so the total is still 20.
The probability that the second book is a statistics book is 5/20.
Therefore, the total probability is:
P(algebra, then statistics) = 7/20 × 5/20
P(algebra, then statistics) = 7/80
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope given two points by
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (9-5)/ (18-10)
= 4/8
= 1/2
Answer is 34.96$ for the final cost.
We know that the right triangle has one 90 degree angle and two acute (< 90 degree) angles. Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
<u>To find x:</u>
(10x - 20) + (6x + 8) = 180
16x - 12 = 180
+12 +12
16x = 192
----- -----
16 16
x = 12
<u>Check:</u>
(10(12) - 20) + (6(12) + 8) = 180
(120 - 20) + (72 + 8) = 180
100 + 80 = 180
180 = 180
<u>Angle (10x - 20):</u>
(10(12) - 20)
(120 - 20)
100
<u>Angle (6x + 8):</u>
(6(12) + 8)
(72 + 8)
80
