90,000*0.12 =1,080
1,080*7=7,560
90,000+7,560=97,560
It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..
a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2
2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together
a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13
Which gives;
2a = 90
Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45
3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.
a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32
4.Solution
a=45
b=32
Answer:
x = 9.17 (nearest hundredth)
The variable x is the amount the student needs to save each month in addition to his usual saved amount of $20.
Step-by-step explanation:
350 = 12(x + 20)
Multiply out brackets: 350 = 12x + 240
Subtract 240 from both sides: 110 = 12x
Divide both sides by 12: 9 1/6 = x
x = 9.17 (nearest hundredth)
The variable x is the amount the student needs to save each month in addition to his usual saved amount of $20.
