andreev551 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

from,

An = 4n -13

A1 = 4 (1) - 13

> A1 = -9

A2 = 4(2) - 13

> A2 = -5

A3 = 4(3) - 13

Jenna saves $3 for every $13 dollars she earns. Vanessa saves $6 for every $16 she earns. Is Jenna's ratio of money saved to mon

jeka94

We have been given that Jenna saves $3 for every $13 dollars she earns. Vanessa saves $6 for every $16 she earns.

We can compare the ratios of saved money to earned money by Jenna and Vanessa as:

$\frac{3}{13} =\frac{6}{16}$

Let us simplify our equation.

$0.2307692307692308=0.375$

We can see that $0.231\neq 0.375$ , therefore, Jenna's ratio of money saved to money earned is not equivalent to Vanessa's ratio of money saved to money earned.

How do you use the distributive property to solve for x in the equation -2(x + 5) = 4

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2(x + 5) = 4 ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

- 2x - 10 = 4 ( add 10 to both sides )

- 2x = 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 7
