Let m be the amount of money he had

m - (1/3)m - 5 = (1/2)m
(2/3)m - 5 = (1/2)m
Subtract both sides by (1/2)m
(2/3 - 1/2)m - 5 = 0
(1/6)m - 5 = 0
Add both sides by 5
(1/6)m = 5
Multiply both sides by 6
m = 30

Peter started with 30 dollars.

Have an awesome day! :)

Jason plotted the points (4,4) and (-4,-4) on a coordinate plane. He says that the distance between the two points is 8 units be
Nataly_w [17]
The distance between two points is calculated through the equation,
                                 d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
Substituting the known values from the given above,
                                d = √(4 - -4)² + (4 - -4)²
                                  d = 8√2 = 11.31
The distance between the points is approximately equal to 11.31. The value that Jason presented is not the real distance because it does not account for the other set of coordinates.
