Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem that we must translate to mathematical expression before we can solve.

let the individual saving be the first letters of the names

Jada= J

Lin= L

Elena= E

1. Jada saved $20 less than Lin

J=L-20

2. Lin saved 3 times as much money as Elena

L= 3E

3. Hence Elena saved

E

Together they saved $120.

hence

(L-20)+3E+E= 120

L-20+3E+E= 120

collecting like terms we hav

L+4E=120+20

L+4E= 140

but we know that L= 3E

3E+4E= 140

7E= 140

divide both sides by 7 we have

E= 140/7

E= $20

This means Elena saves $70

also L= 3E

L= 3*20

L= $60

this means that Lean saved $60

also J=L-20

J= 60-20

J= $40

This means that Jada saved $40

Answer:

5. ○ $\displaystyle \frac{25}{48}$

4. ○ $\displaystyle \frac{25}{46}$

3. ○ $\displaystyle \frac{31}{100}$

2. ○ $\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}$

1. ○ $\displaystyle \frac{27}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

5. $\displaystyle \frac{25}{23 + 25} = \frac{25}{48}$

4. $\displaystyle \frac{25}{46} = \frac{25}{21 + 25}$

3. $\displaystyle Flat-out\:given\:to\:you$

2. $\displaystyle \frac{21 + 23 + 31}{100} = \frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4}$

1. $\displaystyle \frac{31 + 23}{100} = \frac{54}{100} = \frac{27}{50}$

A rectangle has a perimeter of 84 meters. One dimension is 7 meters. How long is

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The unknown dimension is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is l+l+w+w or 2l+2w (l=length, w=width)

$l+l+w+w=84$

$7+7+w+w=84$

$14+w+w=84$

then we subtract 14 from 84

$w+w=70$

$2w=70$

$\frac{70}{2}=35$

$w=35$

Let's check our answer

$35+35+7+7=84$

<u>Hope this helps :-)</u>

Which does not show a direct variation between x and y?

Zepler [3.9K]

A direct variation is a mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other. In other words, a direct variation is where $y = x * (constant)$ .

In answer a, $y = x*.5$ , so it is a direct variation.
In answer c, $y = x* \frac{1}{9}$ , so it is a direct variation.
In answer d, $y = x*2$ , so it is a direct variation,

Only answer b is left, which means the answer must be 'b'.

We also know 'b' is the answer because it cannot be expressed as <span> $y = x * (constant)$ . Instead, it is expressed as </span> $y = \frac{constant}{x}$ , which is not the same thing and is therefore not a direct variation.

Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :)
