The ratio of George's money and Tia's

<h3>Answer: 28 dollars</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

G = amount of money George starts with

T = amount of money Tia starts with

Initially the ratio of their money is 9:4 so G/T = 9/4. Solve for G to get G = (9/4)T.

--------

After George spends 24 dollars he's left with (G-24) dollars. Tia gains 11 dollars so she has (T+11) dollars. They have the same amount of money after these two events occur, so G-24 = T+11.

Plug in G = (9/4)T and solve for T

G-24 = T+11

(9/4)T-24 = T+11 ... replace G with (9/4)T

4*[  (9/4)T-24 ] = 4*[ T+11 ] ... multiply both sides by 4 to clear out fraction

9T - 96 = 4T + 44 ... distribute

9T - 4T = 44 + 96

5T = 140

T = 140/5

T = 28

Tia started off with 28 dollars. We could stop here because your teacher is only asking about Tia's initial amount.

----------

If you want to find how much George started with, then plug T = 28 into G = (9/4)T to get...

G = (9/4)T

G = (9/4)*28

G = 2.25*28

G = 63

George started off with 63 dollars

The ratio of 63:28 reduces to 9:4 after dividing both parts by the GCF 7. This confirms the first fact we're given.

Notice how 63 drops to 63-24 = 39 after George spends $24. At the same time, Tia's amount increases to 28+11 = 39, which is the same as George's updated amount. Both facts match the description, so we have confirmed the answer.

1. The county fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides. Jermaine bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $43.75
ryzh [129]
If this were to be graphed, the independent variable would be the price of the ticket for the rides. The dependent variable would be the total cost.

The fair admission is not a variable because it is a constant price for every single person who goes into the fair.

The problem asks to use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets. In order to fully write out the equation, we have to figure out what the fair admission costs.

43.75 = 1.25(25) + b

*b represents the fair admission

Multiply 1.25 by 25

43.75 = 31.25 + b

Subtract 31.25 to find what b costs.

12.50 = b

The fair admission costs $12.50.

Solution: y = 1.25x + 12.50

Answer: Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by y−4.

3y−12−2(y−4)

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by y−4.

3y−12−2y+8

Combine 3y and −2y to get y.

y−12+8

Add −12 and 8 to get −4.

Is this a linear function , why or why not ? explain <br> y=x^2-1
kotykmax [81]
If you graph out y = x^2 - 1, you'll see that it is a curved parabola. It is not a straight line. So visually this shows the equation is not linear. It's considered nonlinear.

Algebraically, the given equation does not fit the form y = mx+b which is slope intercept form. So this is more confirmation that we do not have a linear function.
