Answer:

17690

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount Michael owes is given by :

y = - 290x +18,560

x = number of months ; y = amount owed

Amount owed after 3 months :

Put x = 3 in the equation :

y= - 290(3) +18,560

y = - 870 + 18560

y = 17690

According to the general form of a linear equation :

y = mx + c

Where, m = slope ; c = intercept

The slope = - 290 ; Intercept = 18560

Slope is the change in y per unit change in x ; The slope means that amount owed, y decreases by 290 per month

The intercept shows that the original amount borrowed is 18560

Amount Michael owes his father decreases by 290 per month.

Order Of operation.
Nikolay [14]

Answer

18(2)+12(2)-4(5)

36+24-20

60-20

40

Step-by-step explanation:

since they had two-18 yard passes and two 12 yard runs, that's the first part of the expression, and then they had four penalties that cost them 5 yards, and that was the last term. When you simplify, you end up with 40 yards gained.

In math

Passes: 18(2)

Runs: 12(2)

Penalties:4(5)

equation

18(2)*12(2)-4(5)

Hope it helped
