Answer:
The total allowance is $18.5, and the amount spent daily is $3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
let T and x represent the total allowance and the amount spent daily respectively.
It was started that the amount remaining after 2 days is $12.10 , which implies the person has spend an equal amount for 2 days
T - 2x =12.10 (equation 1)
It was started that the amount remaining after 5 days is $2.50 , which also implies the person has spend an equal amount for 5 days
T - 5x =2.5 (equation 2)
subtract equation 2 from 1
T - 2x -( T - 5x ) = 12.10 -2.5
T - 2x -T + 5x = 9.6
3x =9.6
Divide both side by 3
x = 9.6/3 =3.2
from equation 1
T - 2x =12.10
T = 12.10 + 2x = 12.10 + 2*3.2
= 12.10 + 6.4 = 18.5
Use quadratic formula
if you had ax^2+bx+c=0, then
x=
a=1
b=?
c=34
subsitute
=5+/-3i
=5+/-3i
make 5+/-3 into fraction over 2,(10+/-6i)/2
=(10+/-6i)/2
multiply both sides by 2
=10+/-6i
we conclude that -b=10
b=-10
ok so equaton is
x^2-10x+34
Undefined. That equation is the y axis and therefore intercepts the y axis at every point
3 years ago<span>Let x = a certain number of cookies
5x = 3x + 20
5x - 3x = 20
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10
John: 5x = 5(10) = 50
Jerry: 3x + 20 = 3(10) + 20 = 30 + 20 = 50
They both have 50 cookies a piece</span>
