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

Given f(x) = 3/4 x + 12, find the value of x when f(x) = x.

12345 [234]

Answer:

The rigth answer is, x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As:

f (x) = 3/4 x + 12

They separate the terms:

3/4 x = 12

Then, what you are multiplying happens to divide:

x = 12/1/3/4

Media are divided by means and ends with ends, and we have as a result that:

x = 3/3 = 1

Find the x and y intercepts of the line<br><br><br> 2x+7y= -14

VladimirAG [237]

To do this make x and y equal 0, y-intercept is at x=0, and x-intercept is at y=0:
x-intercept:
2x+7(0) = -14
2x = -14
x = -7

y-intercept:
2(0) + 7y = -14
7y = -14
y = -2

Find BC if B(8,-7) and C1-4,-2).

Alika [10]

Using distance formula :

$\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1) {}^{2} + (y_2 - y_1) {}^{2} }$

$\sqrt{(8 - ( - 4)) {}^{2} + ( - 7 - ( - 2)) {}^{2} }$

$\sqrt{(12) {}^{2} + ( - 5) {}^{2} }$

$\sqrt{144 + 25}$

$\sqrt{169}$

A line has a slope of 1/5 and a run = 30. What is the<br> rise?

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope=\dfrac{rise}{run}\\\\\text{We have}\\\\slope=\dfrac{1}{5},\ run=30\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{rise}{30}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\5rise=(1)(30)\\\\5rise=30\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5rise}{5}=\dfrac{30}{5}\\\\rise=6$
