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.

Z varies directly as x and y, z = 6 when x=2 and y = 6. Find the value of z when x = 3 and y = 8

Monica [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a joint variation problem:

z varies directly as x and y

Interpreting this;

z ∝ xy

Therefore;

z = kxy

z = 6, x = 2, y = 6

Now find k,

6 = 2 x 6 x k

6 = 12k

k = $\frac{1}{2}$

To find the value of z;

x = 3, y = 8

z = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 3 x 8 = 12
