Set up two equations:
Greg = 330 + 75X
Heather = 660 + 45x
Set them to equal and solve for x:
330 + 75x = 660 + 45x
Subtract 330 from both sides:
75x = 330 + 45x
Subtract 45x from both sides:
30x = 330
Divide both sides by 30:
x = 330 / 30
X = 11
11 months they will have the same amount saved.
Answer:
-5/24
Step-by-step explanation:
You first change -7/12 to -14/24, and 3/8 to 9/24 so they have the same denominator. You then do -14/24 + 9/24. That will be the same as the opposite of the answer to 14/24 - 9/24.
14/24 - 9/24 = 5/24
-5/24
y < - 8 or y > 4
inequalities of the form | x | > a always have solutions of the form
x < - a or x > a
we have to solve
y + 2 < - 6 or y + 2 > 6
y + 2 < - 6 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
y < - 8
or
y + 2 > 6 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
y > 4
these can be combined using interval notation
y ∈ (- ∞, - 8 ) ∪ (4, ∞ )
As a check
substitute chosen values of x from each interval
y = - 10 : | - 10 + 2 | = | - 8 | = 8 > 6 this is true
y = 12 : | 12 + 2 | = | 14 | = 14 > 6 which is also true
