Answer:
$10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = the amount Angela has saved.
Let e = the amount Eli has saved.
"Eli has saved $8 more than 1/3 of Angela's savings."
e = a/3 + 8
"If they each save $10 more." then
Eli will have: e + 10
Angela will have a + 10
"Eli will have saved $4 more than Angela's savings."
e + 10 = a + 10 + 4
This equation simplifies to: e = a + 4
We have a system of two equations in two variables.
e = a/3 + 8
e = a + 4
Since both equations are solved for e, we just equate the right sides.
a/3 + 8 = a + 4
Subtract a/3 from both sides. Subtract 4 from both sides.
a/3 - a/3 + 8 - 4 = a - a/3 + 4 - 4
4 = (2/3)a
Multiply both sides by 3/2
(3/2)4 = (3/2)(2/3)a
6 = a
a = 6
Angela has $6.
e = a + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
Eli has $10.
A + 12.5 = 20
- 12.5 -12.5

A = 7.5
The answer is 7.5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
first we need to find the slope using the slope formula :
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-9,7)...x1 = -9 and y1 = 7
(-6,-3)....x2 = -6 and y2 = -3
now we sub
slope = (-3 - 7) / (-6 - (-9) = -10 / (-6 + 9) = -10 / 3
so our slope is -10/3
now we use y = mx + b....with m representing the slope
slope(m) = -10/3
use either of ur points....I will use (-9,7)...x = -9 and y = 7
we are solving for b, the y intercept
now we sub
7 = -10/3(-9) + b
7 = 30 + b
7 - 30 = b
- 23 = b
so ur equation is : y = -10/3x - 23
Answer:
x= -3
Step-by-step explanation:
7 + 2x/3 = 5
Subtract 7 from both sides,
2x/3 = 5-7
2x/3 = -2
Multiply by 3,
2x = -2*3
Divide by 2,
x = -2*3 / 2
x = -3
