Let
x----------> number of weeks
y----------> saved money
we now that
<span>Michael begins with $20 and saves $5 per week
so
y=20+5x------> equation 1
and
</span><span>Lindsey begins with no money, but saves $10 per week
</span><span>y=10x-------> equation 2
</span><span>the number of weeks it will take for Lindsey and Michael to save the same amount of money is when equation 1 is equals to equation 2
</span>
therefore
20+5x=10x------> 10x-5x=20------> 5x=20-----> x=20/5-----> x=4 weeks
the answer is
4 weeks
The answer is x=-20.
6+ -28 -x =-2
You first add 28 to each side=6+-x=26 then you minus 6 from each side=-x=20.
Then you divide 20 by -x resulting in x=-20
To get -2 from 2, you would multiple by -1.
To get 2 from -2, you also would multiple by -1.
Ad infinitum.
So the common ratio is -1.
Hope this helps.
<em>Answer</em>
= 11
<em>Explanation</em>
f(x) = x² + 3x- 7
To get the value of f(x) when x = 3, we substitute x with 3 in the function f(x).
f(x) = x² + 3x- 7
= 3² + (3×3) -7
= 9 + 9 - 7
= 11
