The answer to the third question is that the root of the chord is a Gb.
Remark
She starts out with x
She spends 10 dollars paying back her brother (that's - 10)
She spends 30 dollars on fuel (that - 30)
She spends 1/2 what's left on a tent ( that's 1/2 (x - 10 - 30) )
She then spent 29.45 on running shoes. 1/2 (x - 10 - 30) + 29.45 is her expenditures.
After all that she has 17.75 left.
Equation
x - 10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30) - 29.45 = 17.75
Solve
Begin by adding 29.95 to both sides.
x - 10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30) = 17.75 + 29.45
x -10 - 30 - 1/2(x - 10 - 30) = 47.20 Add the like terms on the left.
x - 40 - 1/2(x - 40) = 47.20 Add 40 to both sides. Don't go inside the brackets.
x - 1/2x + 1/2 (40) = 87.20
1/2 x + 20 = 87.20 Subtract 20 from both sides.
1/2 x = 67.20 Multiply by 2
x = 134.40
What are the options cause I know d i n is not an option
You can multiply or divide one equation so that it has a variable with a coefficient opposite of the other equation.
Example:
A) 2x + 3y = 6
B) 4x +2y = 20
Notice that neither equation has a "1" or "-1"
Let's multiply Equation A) by -2
A) -4x -6y = -12 Then add it to B)
B) 4x +2y = 20
-4y = 8
y= -2
A) 2x + 3*-2 = 6
2x = 12
x = 6
