Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
Answer:
The simplest equation for a parabola is y = x^2
Answer:
Independent: g
Dependent: c
The cost of the gas depends on the amount he pumps
Answer:
y = 5/8x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = change in y/change in x
slope = 5/8
Using y = mx + b find b.
y = 5/8x + b
-2 = 5/8(-4) + b
b = 1/2
y = 5/8x + 12
<em>good luck, i hope this helps :)</em>
