Answer:

Man has total $8000 money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money he had be x

Now, as he spent $\frac{15}{16}$ of his money in buying a car

and, it is also given that price of car is $7500

So, we can write it as,

$\frac{15}{16} \times x = 7500$

⇒ $x= \frac{7500 \times16}{15}$

⇒ $x=\frac{120000}{15}\\$

⇒ x = 8000

Hence, before buying car he has $8000.

Which lines in the graph have a slope greater than 1 but less than 2?

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Lines 3 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's examine the slope of each of the given lines to have the exact value and be able to answer the question. We use the definition of: $slope=\frac{rise}{run}$

Line 1: $slope=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{6}{2} = 3$

Line 2: $slope=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{6}{3} = 2$

Line 3: $slope=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{6}{4} = 1.5$

Line 4: $slope=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{6}{5} = 1.2$

Line 5: $slope=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{6}{6} = 1$

Therefore the lines that have slope strictly greater than 1 and less than 2 are:

How do I solve 6x—20=

REY [17]

Can not be determined

Step-by-step explanation:

regularly, you would +20 to both sides, but without a full =, you cant solve. If the equation is 6x-20=0, x would equal 3 2/6.
