Answer:

65 -3x = 55 -2.5x
20 periods
$5

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the first card starts at $65 and decreases by $3 for each of x periods. Its value is ...

65 -3x

The value of the second card starts at $55 and decreases by $2.50 for each of x periods. Its value is ...

55 -2.5x

The equation that can be used to find x that makes the values equal is ...

65 -3x = 55 -2.5x

The solution can be found by adding 3x-55 to both sides of this equation.

10 = 0.5x

Multiplying by 2 gives ...

20 = x

After 20 30-day periods. the cards will have the same value.

The value after 20 periods is ...

65 -3×20 = 65 -60 = 5

Both cards will have a value of $5 when they have the same value.

After the drama club sold 100 tickets to a show, it had $300 in profit. After the next show, it had sold a total of 200 tickets

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Option a : $y-300 = 4(x - 100)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The drama club sold 100 tickets to a show, it had $300 in profit.

The next show, it had sold a total of 200 tickets and had a total of $700 profit.

To Find : Equation models the total profit, y, based on the number of tickets sold, x

Solution :

For 100 tickets he had $300 in profit .

⇒ ( $x_{1} ,y_{1}$ )=(100,300)

For 200 tickets he had $700 in profit .

⇒ ( $x_{2} ,y_{2}$ )=(200,700)

We will use point slope form i.e.

$y-y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})$ --(A)

Now, to calculate m we will use slope formula :

$m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

$m = \frac{700 -300}{200-100}$

$m =4$

Now, putting values in (A)

$y-300 = 4(x - 100)$

Thus Option a is correct i.e. $y-300 = 4(x - 100)$
