What is m months
i could be able to solve it if i knew what m months were
Answer:
<em>Riley has 72 tokens</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations
</u>
We have two conditions for the tokens Riley and Erik have earned. Let's call x and y to the number of tokens of Riley and Erik respectively. The first condition states that
Solving for y
The second condition is that the ratio of the number of tokens that Riley had to the number of tokens that Erik has is 8 to 7. It's written as
Or equivalently
Replacing y from the first equation
Operating
Simplifying
Riley has 72 tokens
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Eliminate parentheses:
0.1x +18.8 = -4 +2x
22.8 = 1.9x . . . . . . . . . add 4 - 0.1x
12 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.9
__
2) Eliminate parentheses:
-16 +4x = 0.8x +12.8
3.2x = 28.8 . . . . . . . . add 16 - 0.8x
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3.2

<em>Comments on the solutions</em>
The expression we add in each case eliminates the constant on one side of the equation and the variable term on the other side. That leaves an equation of the form ...
variable term = constant
We choose to eliminate the smaller variable term (the one with the coefficient farthest to the left on the number line). Then the constant we eliminate is the on on the other side of the equation. This choice ensures that the remaining variable term has a positive coefficient, tending to reduce errors.

You can work these problems by methods that eliminate fractions. Here, the fractions are decimal values, so are not that difficult to deal with. In any event, it is good to be able to work with numbers in any form: fractions, decimals, integers. It can save some steps.
Answer:
The bottom left answer choice displays an outlier
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity
As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the function goes in the downward direction on both sides, it would be negative infinity for both.
It's basically saying, as the x values go towards the positives, the y values go towards the negatives
and as the x values go towards the negatives, the y values go towards the negatives.
