Answer:

Equations:

y =  14 + 9 x --- Cindy

y = 10 x --- Ruben

Solution to equation:

Time they have the same amount: 14 minutes

Number of cards they have at that time: 140 flashcards

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): Variables and what they represent

The variables to use are x and y

Where x represent the minutes and y represents the number of flashcards in x minutes

Solving (b): System of linear equation

Cindy:

Existing\ Flashcards = 14

Additional = 9 per minute

Total number of flashcards (y) in x minutes is:

y =  Existing\ Flashcards + Additional * x

y =  14 + 9 * x

y =  14 + 9 x

Ruben:

Rate = 10 per minute

Total number of flashcards (y) in x minutes is:

y = Rate * x

y = 10 * x

y = 10 x

Solution to Equations:

Time they have the same amount.

To do this, we equate both expressions

i.e.

10x = 14 + 9x

Collect Like Terms

10x - 9x = 14

x = 14

Number of cards they have at that time.

Here, we simply substitute 14 for x in any of the equations.

y = 10 x

y = 10 * 14

y = 140

or

y =  14 + 9 x

y = 14 + 9 * 14

y = 14 + 126

y = 140

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

0.925 or 92.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

y=a(1-b)^x

decay factor is 1-b <- and the part we care about

b is 7.5%=0.075

1-0.075

=0.925

I'm a little rusty on exponential rates, but I hope this helps!
