Tavon has a gift card for $165 that loses $4 for each 30-day period it is not used. He has another gift card for $145 that loses

$3.50 for each 30-day period it is not used. Write an equation for the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal. Let x represent the number of 30-day periods.

Answer:

Equation 1 = Equation 2

165 - 4x = 145 - 3.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 30-day periods.

Tavon has a gift card for $165 that loses $4 for each 30-day period it is not used.

Therefore the equation =

$165 -$4 × x

= 165 - 4x.......... Equation 1

He has another gift card for $145 that loses $3.50 for each 30-day period it is not used.

$145 -$3.50 × x

= 145 - 3.50x........... Equation 2

Hence, an equation for the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal is obtained by equating Equation 1 and Equation 2 together

So, we have

Equation 1 = Equation 2

165 - 4x = 145 - 3.50x

We simplify further:

165 - 145 = -3.50 + 4.0x

20 = 0.5x

x = 20/0.5

x = 40

Therefore, number of each 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal is 40

<h3>Linear equation</h3>

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and m is the y intercept.

Let y represent the total cost of hiring for x hours. Hence:

  • Using the points (0, 125) and (15, 950)

Slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{950-125}{15-0} =55

The rate of change is $55 per hour. The means that the hourly rate of the designer is $55 per hour

13+8+4=25
so she needs $25 in all, to find how much more than 16 she needs you take 25 and minus 16 from it.
25-16=19
so she needs $19 more to have a balanced budget.

Find the lengths of the legs. <br> (NO LINKS)
maks197457 [2]

Given:

The figure of a right angle triangle with hypotenuse 10 and two angles 45^\circ, 90^\circ

To find:

The lengths of the legs.

Solution:

Two angles are given. By using the angle sum property, the third angle is:

Third angle = 180^\circ-45^\circ- 90^\circ

                   = 45^\circ

Base angles are equal it means the given triangle is an isosceles right triangle. So, the lengths of both legs are equal.

Let x be the lengths of both legs. Then by using Pythagoras theorem, we get

Hypotenuse^2=leg_1^2+leg_2^2

(10)^2=x^2+x^2

100=2x^2

\dfrac{100}{2}=x^2

50=x^2

Taking square root on both sides, we get

\pm \sqrt{50}=x

\pm 5\sqrt{2}=x

\pm 5\sqrt{2}=x

The side length cannot be negative. So, the only value of x is 5\sqrt{2}.

Therefore, the length of the both legs is 5\sqrt{2} units.
