At the bank, Derek made 7 withdrawals, each in the same amount. His brother, John, made 5 withdrawls, each in the same amount.

Let x be  the amount of one of Derek's withdrawals

Each of John's withdrawals was $5 more than each withdrawal that Derek made.

x + 5 is t the amount of one of John's withdrawals

Derek made 7 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 7 times = 7x

John made 5 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 5 times = 5(x+5)

Both Derek and John withdrew the same amount of money in the end

(A) 7x = 5(x+5)

(B) Solve for x

7x = 5x + 25

Subtract 5x from both sides

2x = 25

Divide by 2

x = 12.5

(C) check your solution

we plug in 12.5 for x in 7x= 5x + 25

7(12.5) = 5(12.5) + 25

87.5 = 62.5+ 25

87.5 = 87.5

(D) Each brother withdrawal 87.5 dollars

He can make 18 and then he wouldn't have enough to make that 19th. You just take 28 and multiply it by 2, then divide it by 3. Or just multiply 28 by 2/3

Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola
murzikaleks [220]

Not really sure what you are looking for, but this is how to solve equations such as these.

Let:

x = number of pounds of granola

y = numer of pounds of walnuts

The equation he can use to compute the total cost would be:

$2.00x + $6.00y = $12.00

We know that he bought 3 pounds of granola, so we plug in that for the x value:

$2.00(3) + $6.00y = $12.00

$6.00 + $6.00y = $12.00

To isolate the unknown value which is y, we first need to subtract $6.00 from both sides of the equation:

$6.00 + $6.00y - $6.00 = $12.00 - $6.00

$6.00y = $6.00

Then we divide both sides by $6.00:

$6.00y/$6.00 = $6.00/$6.00

y = 1

So the number of bags of walnuts he can buy is 1 bag.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (0,4) and (3,-2)?
Nadusha1986 [10]

***NOTE: Please check that you wrote the numbers in the question/answer choices correctly. The answer to this problem doesn't match the answer choice. Thank you!

Remember that the slope intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

First let's find the slope (m)

The formula to find slope using two points is

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this case...

y_{2} =-2\\y_{1} =4\\x_{2} =3\\x_{1} =0

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

\frac{-2-4}{3 - (0)}

\frac{-6}{3}

-2

^^^This is your slope

Here is what we have so far for the slope intercept formula:

y = -2x + b

Now we must find b

To do that you must plug in a point the line goes through in the x and y of the equation, then solve for b

For this explanation we will use the point (0,4) although you could also do it with point (3, -2) and you should get the same answer  

4 = -2(0) + b

4 = 0 + b

4 = b

NOTE: For this particular problem you wouldn't technically need to go through the steps above to find b. In this case one of the points given, (0, 4) is already the y-intercept of the line (b)

y = -2x + 4

Hope this helped!

The area of a circle is 121π ft². What is the circumference, in feet?
olasank [31]

Answer:

· Area = pi*r^2. 121 = pi*r^2. Solve for r. Circumference = 2*pi*r. plug r into that equation and solve for Circumference

Use the given functions to set up and simplify f e e t . 121 π f t 2 = f e e t = f e 2 t
