Answer:

Tina would save the same amount using either option after 20 months.

With either option, Tina would save $700.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be modeled by a first order equation:

Where Tina's saved money after n months is:

S(n) = S(0) + rn, where S(0) is the money put away initially and r is how much she saves every month.

The first option is to put $500 away initially and save $10 every month, so:

S_{1}(n) = 500 + 10n

The second option is to put $100 away initially and save $30 every month, so:

S_{2}(n) = 100 + 30n

After how many months would Tina save the same amount using either option?

It will happen at the month n in which S_{1}(n) = S_{2}(n), so:

S_{1}(n) = S_{2}(n)

500 + 10n = 100 + 30n

500 - 100 = 30 - 10n

400 = 20n

20n = 400

n = \frac{400}{20}

n = 20.

Tina would save the same amount using either option after 20 months.

How much would she save with either option?

We can choose S_{1}(20) or S_{2}(20), since they are equal

S_{1}(20) = 500 + 10(20) = 500 + 200 = 700

With either option, Tina would save $700.

Two lines, C and D, are represented by the equations given below:
lakkis [162]

y=x+14 line 1

y=3x+2 line 2

These are both the equation of lines written in slope intercept form

y=mx+b where m is the slope and the point (0,b) is the y intercept.

The first line has a slope of m=1. The 2nd line has a slope of m=3

Since these lines have different slopes, they are not parallel, thus they will cross at some point. What you have to determine is where the lines cross, which will be a point (x,y) that is on both lines.

We already have y solved in terms of x from either equation so we can use substitution to solve the system.

Since y=x+14 from line 1, put x+14 in place of y in the equation of line 2.

x+14=3x+2

solve for x.

Subtract x from both sides...

14= 3x-x+2

14=2x+2

subtract 2 from both sides

14-2=2x

12=2x

divide both sides by 2

6=x

We now have the x value of the common point. Plug the value 6 in for x in one of the original equations and solve for y.

y=6+14

y=20

These two lines cross at the point (6,20) which is a point the two lines have in common.
