Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify to:
Multiply both sides by 7
2(x-2)=28x
Divide both sides by 2
x-2=14x
Subtract x from both sides
2=14x-x
Simplify 14x-x to 13x
2=13x
Divide both sides by 13
Answer:
Its true because of the rule (cpct)corresponding parts of congruence triangle.
Let's find the rates at which Melinda and Marcus are saving money and compare them.
Based on the table, we can see that Melinda originally had $75. Then she got $135 in 5 weeks. So the rate of saving money is (135–75)/5 = $12 per week.
This rate is unchanged for the next weeks. As we can see, she got $195 in the next 5 weeks. So she saved $60 more those 5 weeks, or the rate is $60/5 = $12 per week again.
So Melinda saved $12 per week.
As for Marcus, the equation tells us that the rate of saving money is $14 which is the coefficient in front of x.
Hence, t<span>he rate at which Melinda is adding to her savings each week is 2$
less than the rate at which Marcus is adding to his savings each week.</span>
