Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate Rachel and Roy's savings:

$200 - ($25/wk)w = ($15/wk)w

Combining like terms, we get:

$200 = ($40/wk)w, and so w comes out to 5 weeks.

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

200-25x = 15x

we set each equation equal since Rachel has 200 but spends 25 each week we set 200 - 25x (x being the number if weeks) equal to Roy saving $15 per week

200 -25x =15x

+25x +25x add 25x to both sides to isolate the variable

200= 40x

200/40 = 40x/40 divide both sides by 40 to get x by itself

5=x ( previously mentioned x is the number of weeks) therefore they will have either same amount of money after 5 weeks

When (81x^2/7) (2/9x^3/7) is simplified, it can be written in the form ax^b where a and b are real numbers. Find ab.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

In improper form your solution will be $\frac{90}{7}$ . As a mixed fraction it will be $12\frac{6}{7}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we want to do here is to simplify this expression. After doing so, " a " and " b " should be multiplied to result in a possible improper fraction,

$\left(81x^{\frac{2}{7}}\right)\:\left(2/9x^{\frac{3}{7}}\right)\:$ - Apply exponential rule " $\:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}$ "

= $81\cdot \frac{2}{9}x^{\frac{2}{7}+\frac{3}{7}}$ - Combine fractions $\frac{2}{7}$ and $\frac{3}{7}$

= $81\cdot \frac{2}{9}x^{\frac{5}{7}}$ - Multiply the fractions, and simplify further

= $\frac{162x^{\frac{5}{7}}}{9}$ = $18x^{\frac{5}{7}}$ - This is out simplified expression

Now that we have this simplified expression, we can see that a = $18$ , and b = $\frac{5}{7}$ . Therefore, multiplying the two we should receive the improper fraction as follows,

$18 * \frac{5}{7}$ = $\frac{90}{7}$ - Note that this is in improper form. If you want your solution in a mixed fraction, it will be $12\frac{6}{7}$ .

Help please! Will give brainly! Explain how the equation y=x^2 differs from the equation y=x

ira [324]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=x^2$ is also $y = x*x$

It will differ for any x besides 1 and 0 because you're multiplying x by itself, which makes the answer greater.

But, it's the same for 1 and 0 because they equal each other when you square them.

How do you factor 8x + 56

____ [38]

$8x + 56 \\ \\ GCF = 8 \\ \\ 8( \frac{8x}{8} + \frac{56}{8} ) \\ \\ 8(x + 7) \\ \\$

The final result is: 8(x + 7).

A number is greater than 8. The same number is less than 10. The inequalities x greater-than 8 and x less-than 10 represent the

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Our inequality is 8 < x < 10, where x is our number.

Since the problem doesn't specify whether the number x is an integer or not, we can assume that x can be either a decimal or a whole number. That means that we want any decimal number or whole number between 8 and 10. The only whole number is 9, but there are infinitely many decimal solutions. For example, we could have 8.001, 8.0001, 8.00001, etc.

Thus the answer is D.

Hope this helps!
