Each month, Kaisorn deposits $50.00 onto her public transportation card. It costs her $2.50 per trip to ride the subway. Thom de

posits $40.00 on his public transportation card. It costs him $2.00 per trip to ride the subway.
If x represents the number of trips and y represents the amount remaining in each account, which system of equations represents their transportation costs?

A 50 − 2.5x = y
  40 − 2x = y
B 50 + 2.5x = y
  40 + 2x = y
C 50 − 2.5y = x
  40 − 2y = x
D50 + 2.5y = x
  40 + 2y = x

Answer:

A. 50 − 2.5x = y

 40 − 2x = y

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that x represents the number of trips and y represents the amount remaining in each account, then, let's think in an example; after the first trip x = 1, therefore, Kaisorn's account must decrease from $50 to $50 - $2.5 = $47.5 = y, and Thom's account must decrease from $40 to $40 - $2 = $38 = y. Replacing x = 1 in each case gives:

A

50 − 2.5(1) = y

47.5 = y

   40 − 2(1) = y

   38 = y

B

50 + 2.5(1) = y

52.5 = y

 40 + 2(1) = y

 42 = y

C

50 − 2.5y = (1)

y = (1 - 50)/(-2.5)

y = 19.6

 40 − 2y = (1)

  y = (1 - 40)/(-2)

  y = 19.5

D

50 + 2.5y = (1)

y = (1 -50)/2.5

y = -19.6

 40 + 2y = (1)

 y = (1 - 40)/(2)

 y = -19.5

As it can be seen, option A is the correct one.

Answer:

(-2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are multiple answers for this, basically anything with an x-value of: -4, -2, 0, 2, or 4

So, you could have (2,4) , (-4,3) , (0,17), (2, -5), etc.

This is because, to be a function, each x-value can only have one corresponding y-value.  Thus, by giving the x-values (in this case, again, -4,-2,0,2, or 4) another y-value, the relation will not be a function.  

Easy answer: An x-value can only have one y-value

Part 2: Create a scenario for a geometric sequence. For example, Anthony goes to the gym for ______ minutes on Monday. Every day
Ugo [173]
An example scenario is:

Anthony goes to the gym for <em>20</em> minutes on Monday. Every day he <em>multiplies</em> his gym time by <em>2</em>. 

On the fifth day, he will spend spend 320 minutes in the gym. 

The formula used to determine the 5th term is,

                                       a5 = 20 x 2^(r -1) 

where r is the common ratio equal to 2.

Answer:

Equation: 7x - 23 = 25 + x

Solution: x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 23 = 25 + x

1. Subtract 25 from both sides:

7x - 23 - 25 = 25 - 25 + x

7x - 48 = x

2. Subtract 7x from both sides to get x on one side:

7x - 7x - 48 = x - 7x

- 48 = -6x

3. Divide both sides by -6 to get x by itself:

8 = x

8 is the solution
