Answer:

  $66

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be convenient to assign a different variable to the amount of money each spent. We can call the amounts spent by Seedevi, Georgia, and Amy "s", "g", and "a", respectively.

The problem statement tells us ...

  s = (1/2)g

  s = a +6

  s + g + a = 258

__

The problem statement asks for the amount Seedevi spent, so we need to find the value of s. It is convenient to write the other variables in terms of s:

  g = 2s

  a = s -6

Then the sum is ...

  s + (2s) +(s -6) = 258

  4s = 264 . . . . . . . . . . . add 6, simplify

  s = 66 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4

Seedevi spent $66.

The formula for estimating the number, N, of a certain product sold is N = 8800ln(7t + 9), where t is the number of years after
arsen [322]
To determine or predict the expected number of sales after 2 years, we substitute 2 to the t of the givne equation.
                           N = (8800)xln(7(2) + 9)
                                N = 27,592.34
Thus, it is expected that the number of sales after 2 years is 27,592 units.

What is the length of the major axis of the ellipse (x-7)^2/4+(y+3)^2/16=1
yuradex [85]
\bf \begin{array}{llll}
\cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}+\cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1\\\\ \cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}+\cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}=1
\end{array}\quad 
\begin{cases}
\textit{major axis}=a+a\\
a=\textit{the larger denominator}\\
b=\textit{smaller denominator}
\end{cases}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{(x-7)^2}{4}+\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{16}=1\implies \cfrac{(x-7)^2}{2^2}+\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{4^2}=1\quad 
\begin{cases}
a=4\\
b=2
\end{cases}
