Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sarah have x dollars.

Then Sam has x + 15

Casey had 2(x + 15)

x + x + 15 + 2(x + 15) = 95               Remove the brackets.

2x + 15 + 2x + 30 = 95                    Collect like terms

4x + 45 = 95                                   Subtract 45 from both sides.

4x = 95 - 45

4x = 50                                           Divide by 4

x = 50/4

x = 12.5

Sarah has                          12.50

Sam has    16.67 + 16 =     27.50

Casey has                         <u> 55.00</u>

Total                                    95

Answers:

  • Sarah has  $12.50
  • Sam has  $27.50
  • Casey has  $55

======================================================

Explanation:

x = amount of money Sarah has

x+15 = amount of money Sam has, since he has $15 more than her

2(x+15) = amount of money Casey has, since he has twice as much as Sam.

Let's add up those three expressions and set that sum equal to 95

Solve for x.

Sarah + Sam + Casey = 95

x+(x+15) + 2(x+15) = 95

x + x + 15 + 2x + 30 = 95

4x+45 = 95

4x = 95-45

4x = 50

x = 50/4

x = 12.50

This says that Sarah has $12.50

That must mean Sam has x+15 = 12.50+15 = 27.50 dollars

And Casey must have 2*27.50 = 55 dollars.

----------------

As a check,

Sarah+Sam+Casey = 12.50+27.50+55 = 95

So the answer is confirmed.

Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below. double r, then raise the result to the 8th power Do not simp
S_A_V [24]

Answer: (2r)⁸ or (2r)∧8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Double r = this means that we have to multiply the variable "r" by 2 .(2r)

Then raise the result to the 8th power = this means that the product (2r) is the base and 8 is the exponent.

Mathematically speaking  

(2r)⁸ or (2r)∧8

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Pedro works as a newspaper deliverer. He receives a base pay plus an additional amount per newspaper delivered. Last week, Pedro
pentagon [3]
Y=mx+b
x=number of newspapers
37.5 earned for 5 newspapers
37.5=5m+b

earned 75 and deliverd 20 newpapers
75=20m+b

we have

37.5=5m+b and
75=20m+b
multiply first equaiton by -1 and add to other equaiton

-37.5=-5m-b
<u>75=20m+b  +</u>
37.5=15m+0b

37.5=15m
divide both sides by 15
2.5=m

sub back to find b
75=2.5(20)+b
75=50+b
minsu 50 both sides
25=b

y=2.5x+25 is lnear funtion

How to solve this problem?
OverLord2011 [107]
What happens when a quadratic function touches the x-axis only once?  It means that the quadratic function has only one real zero.  So which formula should we use? How about the almighty quadratic formula?

So when does the quadratic formula give you only one real zero? When the discriminant is equal to zero!

The discriminant is: b²-4ac

In our quadratic equation that means:
b = (3+m)
a = 4
c = 1

Thus, we need to solve: (3+m)²- 4*(4)*(1) = 0

m²+ 6m + 9 - 16 = 0
m² + 6m - 7 = 0
(m+7)(m-1) = 0
m = -7, 1

That's it! Plug back in and graph to see that it actually works!
