Answer:
The equation is 
The slope is m=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to
where
y is the amount left in the saving account
x is the number of weeks
m is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation
b is the y-intercept or initial value
In this problem we have
The slope is equal to
--> is negative because is a decreasing function
The y-intercept or initial value is
substitute
Answer:
96b-60
Step-by-step explanation:
12(8b-5)=
12*8b - 5*12 =
96b-60
How about raising 286 up by 14 to 300 and compensating by lowering 428 by the same 14 Since I know that 14 + 14 is 28 then 28-14 is 14
So 428 - 14 = 414
So now I have 414 + 300 which I can do mentally - the answer is 714 and is also the answer to the original problem 428 + 286
Compensation works very well - bring one number up or down to a rounded number and compensate by doing the opposite to the other - instead of 199 + 457 - try 200 + 456
Same answer and because one of the numbers is nicely rounded, it is easy to add the other.
One more: 207 + 182 becomes 200 + 189 =389 I lowered one by 7 and raised the other one by the same 7.
