Answer:

y represents the amount in the bank account after 7 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let karma gets x money on his birthday.

He has 60 in his account initially

He deposits teh same money for the seven months

So, the money he has after the seven months is 7 x + 60  

According to the question,

y =7 x + 60

It shows that the amount after seven months is y.

<h2> <u>Explanation</u><u>:</u></h2>

\bf \underline{★Given-} \\

\textsf{4x + 5y = 8};

\textsf{5x + 4y = 12}

\bf \underline{★To\: find-} \\

\textsf{the value of x and y in equation?}

\bf \underline{★Solution-} \\

\sf \leadsto 4x + 5y = 8 - - - (i)

\sf \leadsto 5x + 4y = 12 - - - (ii)

By first equation,

\sf \leadsto 4x + 5y = 8

\sf \leadsto 4x = 8 - 5y

\sf \leadsto x = \dfrac{8 - 5y}{4}

\textsf{Now, we can find the original value of Y.}\\

\sf \leadsto 5x + 4y = 12

\sf \leadsto 5 \bigg( \dfrac{8 - 5y}{4} \bigg) + 4y = 12

\sf \leadsto \dfrac{40 - 25y}{4} + 4y = 12

\sf \leadsto \dfrac{40 - 25y + 16y}{4} = 12

\sf \leadsto \dfrac{40 - 9y}{4} = 12

\sf \leadsto 40 - 9y = 12(4)

\sf \leadsto 40 - 9y = 48

\sf \leadsto -9y = 48 - 40

\sf \leadsto -9y =  8

\sf \leadsto y = \dfrac{ -8}{9}

\textsf{Now, we can find the original value of X.}\\

\sf \leadsto 4x + 5y = 8

\sf \leadsto  4x + 5 \bigg( \dfrac{ -8}{9} \bigg) = 8

\sf \leadsto 4x - \dfrac{40}{9} = 8

\sf \leadsto \dfrac{36x - 40}{9} = 8

\sf \leadsto 36x - 40 = 8(9)

\sf \leadsto 36x - 40 = 72

\sf \leadsto 36x = 72 + 40

\sf \leadsto 36x = 112

\sf \leadsto x = \dfrac{112}{36}

\underline{\textsf{Answer-}}\\

Therefore, the values of x and y are -8/9 and 112/36 respectively.

Fred is 58 yes old, and Irene is 18. How many years ago was Fred 5 times as old as Irene. Algebra must be used
Sedaia [141]
So let's take a peek at both's ages, keep in mind, every year, is 1year added to Irene and 1year added to Fred
so... if we look at their ages  \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}&#10;fred&irene\\&#10;\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\&#10;58&18\\&#10;57&17\\&#10;56&16\\&#10;55&15\\&#10;...&...&#10;\end{array}

notice, Fred is always 40years older than Irene

thus, whatever age Irene is, let's say "i", then Fred is " i + 40 "

now, when is Fred 5 times Irene's age or 5*i or 5i? well, 

f = fred's age    i = irene's age

f = i + 40
now if  f = 5i

5i = i + 40   <---    solve for "i" to see how old Irene was then

PLEASE HELP SOLVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

  a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS

  b) x = 28 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The left-side segments are in the ratio ...

  top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2

The right side segments are in the ratio ...

  top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2

These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.

Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:

  12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x

__

The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:

  x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12

  x = 28 1/3

How do you convert a division word problem into a fraction?
baherus [9]
For example: if the word problem were simply "4 divided by 2", the fraction would be a 4 with a line underneath and the 2 underneath that.

I hope I made this possible to understand... let me know if you were referring to something else!
