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! :)

Maggie needs to spend at least six hours each week practicing the piano. She has already practiced 3
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

t ≥ 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take time for practicing the piano to be t

The number of hours to practice per week should be at least 6 hours

This is written as t ≥ 6

She already practiced 3 hours this week, thus the remaining hours to practice should be

t ≥ 3

The minimum remaining hours to practice for the remaining 2 days should be

t=3

If these hours are evenly divided, then in a single day she should practice

for t ≥ 1.5

A candle has been burning for 20 min and is now 25 cm tall. In an hour it will be 10 cm tall. Which equation models the height y
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

(y - 25) = - 0.25(x - 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Height of candle after burning for 20 minutes = 25 cm

Height after burning for 1 hr (60 minutes) = 10 cm

Height (y) in cm of candle x minutes after being lit:

Using the equation :

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

m = (change in y / change in x)

Change in height within 60 minutes :

Height at 20 minutes = 25cm

Height after an hour = 10

Change in height per hour = (25 - 10) = 15cm

Hence, m = change in height per minute

15cm / 60 = 0.25cm ( - 0.25) (decrease in height)

y1 = 25 ; x1 = 20

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - 25) = - 0.25(x - 20)

Why is division by zero not allowed? Explain using your knowledge of how division is related to subtraction.
vivado [14]

Division by zero is an operation for which you cannot find an answer, so it is disallowed. You can understand why if you think about how division and multiplication are related. But no value would work for x because 0 times any number is 0. So division by zero doesn't work.
