Two runners are saving money to attend a marathon. The first runner has $112 in savings, received a $45 gift from a friend, and

will save $25 each month. The second runner has $50 in savings and will save $60 each month.
Which equation can be used to find m, the number of months it will take for both accounts to have the same amount of money?

112 – 25m + 45 = 50 – 60m
112 + 25 + 45m = 50m + 60
112 + 25 – 45m = –50m + 60
112 + 25m + 45 = 50 + 60m

Answer:

The correct answer is the last option, that is, 112 + 25m + 45 = 50 + 60m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the first runner has $112 in savings, received a $45 gift from a friend, and will save $25 each month. Therefore, amount of money in the account of first running after m months will be: 112+45+25m

We have been given that the second runner has $50 in savings and will save $60 each month. Therefore, amount of money in the account of second running after m months will be: 50 + 60m

In order for amount of money to be equal in accounts of both the runners, we set up:

112+45+25m=50+60m

Upon rewriting the left hand side using commutative law, we get:

112+25m+45=50+60m

Therefore, we can see that the last option is the correct answer.

The answer is D. You do not subtract, and the M needs to be behind 25. Hope this Helps!

What is the solution to y = x + 2 and y = 3x – 2 and how do you know? PLEASE HELPPPPP! THANK U!
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system:

y=x+2

y=3x-2.

This is already setup for substitution.

I'm going to replace my first y with what the second y equals.

That is, I'm going to write 3x-2=x+2.

Time to solve the following for x:

3x-2=x+2

Subtract x on both sides:

2x-2= 2

Add 2 on both sides:

2x. = 4

Divide both sides by 2:

x. = 2

Now that we know x=2 and we have an equation that relates x to y: either y=x+2 or y=3x-2, doesn't matter which we use, we can find y.

So we y=x+2 with x=2 which means y=2+2=4.

So the solution, the intersection, is (2,4).

7x+6= 5(x+2)<br>help me​
Zigmanuir [339]

\huge \pink{solution}

Given :7x+6=5(x+2)

Now We will use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+2.

→7x+6=5x+10

We will Subtract 5x from both sides.

→7x+6−5x=10

We will Combine 7x and −5x to get 2x.

→2x+6=10

We will Subtract 6 from both sides.

2x=10−6

We will Subtract 6 from 10 to get 4.

2x=4

We will Divide both sides by 2.

x= 4/2

At last,We Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

x=2

Find the values of a and b such that x2 - 2x + 2 = (x -a) + b LOADS OF POINTS ON THE LINE!!!
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize using square root method.

x² - 2x + 2 = (x-a)² + b

x² -2x + 1 + 1 = (x-a)²+b

(x² - 2*x*1 + 1²) + 1 = (x -a)²+ b       {Compare with a²- 2ab+b² which is (a - b)²}

(x - 1)² + 1 = (x - a)² + b

a = 1 and b = 1
