Tina is saving to buy a notebook computer. She has two options. The first option is to put $500 away initially and save $30 ever

Jlenok [28]

First option:
y=money saved
x=number of months

y=30x+500

Second option:

y=50x+200

We have this system of equations:

y=30x+500
y=50x+200

We can solve this system of equations by equalization method
30x+500=50x+200
30x-50x=200-500
-20x=-300
x=-300/-20
x=15

so;
y=30x+500
y=30(15)+500
y=450+500
y=950

Answer; after 15 months, she would save the same amount using either option, the amount saved in either option will be $950.

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks.Josiah has punch c

love history [14]

Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are

$\begin{gathered} T=2+7x \\ \text{and} \\ C=11+4x \end{gathered}$

Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.

Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then

$\begin{gathered} T=C \\ \Rightarrow2+7x=11+4x \\ \Rightarrow3x=9 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{3}=3 \\ \Rightarrow x=3 \end{gathered}$

Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,

$\begin{gathered} x=3 \\ \Rightarrow T=2+7\cdot3=23 \\ \Rightarrow T=23 \end{gathered}$

Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.
