X-int. is (5/7,0)
y-int. is (0,5)
J=amount Jake has; F=amount Fred has=2J
J+F=$54
J+2J=$54
3J=$54
J=$18
ANSWER 1: Jake has $18.
F=2J=2($18)=$36 ANSWER 2: Fred has $36.
The value of x in the expression, x 2 = 9 is 4.5
9 divided by 2 = 4.5
A) Garage A = 3x
Garage B = 2x + 2
b) 2x + 2 = 3x
x = 2
c) the solution, 2, means the number of hour which both garages would have the equal amount of cost. In this case, in 2 hours, they would be equal in cost.
