At the bank, Derek made 7 withdrawals, each in the same amount. His brother, John, made 5 withdrawls, each in the same amount.
Let x be the amount of one of Derek's withdrawals
Each of John's withdrawals was $5 more than each withdrawal that Derek made.
x + 5 is t the amount of one of John's withdrawals
Derek made 7 withdrawals
So amount withdraw 7 times = 7x
John made 5 withdrawals
So amount withdraw 5 times = 5(x+5)
Both Derek and John withdrew the same amount of money in the end
(A) 7x = 5(x+5)
(B) Solve for x
7x = 5x + 25
Subtract 5x from both sides
2x = 25
Divide by 2
x = 12.5
(C) check your solution
we plug in 12.5 for x in 7x= 5x + 25
7(12.5) = 5(12.5) + 25
87.5 = 62.5+ 25
87.5 = 87.5
(D) Each brother withdrawal 87.5 dollars

Answer:
2 CUPS
Step-by-step explanation:
Write two equations, where "b" = bottles, and "c" = cups
2b +5c = b +7c -->
b = 2c
THERE ARE 2 CUPS IN A BOTTLE
Answer:
7/3
Explanation:
The slope of the line is equal to the rise/run, or in other words, the number of units the line travels upwards over the number of units the line travels to the right.
We can identify the slope using any two points on the line. Here, we can use the two points that are marked on the picture. The second point is 7 units above the first and 3 units to the right of the first, so the slope of the line is equal to 7/3.
Another way to calculate the slope of the line is the use this formula:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
The first point is at the coordinate (1,-4) and second point is at the coordinate (4,3). When we plug these two coordinates into the equation, we get this:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
->(3-(-4))/(4-1)
When we simply the fraction, we would get 7/3 and that would give us the slope.
I hope this helps!
