Laila=l
Tom=t
Dan=d

l=t+14
l=d-5
l+t+d=51

In terms of l:
d=l+5
t=l-14

So:
l+l+5+l-14=51
3l+5-14=51
3l-9=51
3l=60
l=20
d=25
t=6

Hope this helps :)

Refer to the previous question.Approximately how much money would be in your account after the third year?(Assume that you do no

motikmotik

The amount of money in the account after t years is given by the function

$f(t)=1000\cdot(1.12)^t$

We want to evaluate how much money would be in your account after the third year, to do it we must put t = 3 in our function, then

$\begin{gathered} f(t)=1000\cdot(1.12)^t \\ \\ f(3)=1000\cdot(1.12)^3 \\ \\ f(3)=1000\cdot1.404928 \\ \\ f(3)=1404.928 \end{gathered}$

And we can approximate to

$\$1404.93$

Answer:

Part 1) $y=32.5x+11.95$

Par 2) see the explanation

Part 3) $\$401.95$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Write an equation in slope intercept form to represent this problem

Let

x ----> the number of tickets

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept (one-time processing fee)

In this problem we have

$b=\$11.95$

ordered pairs (4,141.95) and (7,239.45)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{239.45-141.95}{7-4}$

$m=\frac{97.5}{3}$

$m=32.5$

substitute the values in the linear equation

$y=32.5x+11.95$

Part 2) What does your slope represent in this problem? What does your y-intercept represent in this problem?

a) The slope of the linear equation represent the unit rate, so the slope represents the cost of one ticket

$m=\$32.5\ per\ ticket$

b) The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context, the y-intercept represent the one-time processing fee

$b=\$11.95$

Part 3) Use the equation to find how much Alan would have to pay for 12 tickets

For x=12 tickets

substitute in the linear equation

$y=32.5(12)+11.95$

$y=\$401.95$
