hing store where each shirt costs $15.00. Molly thinks that she can buy 8 shirts, but Maddie says that Molly can buy 7 shirts. The equations they used to model the problem are listed below.
Solve each equation algebraically, justify your steps, and determine who is correct and why.

Molly's equation
15x + 10 = 100

Maddie's equation
15x - 10 = 100

Molly's equation

15x + 10 = 100

     -10       -10

15x=90

/15    /15

x=6

Maddie's equation

15x - 10 = 100

     +10      +10

15x=110

/15     /15

x=7 1/3

MADDIE IS RIGHT

this is because she said 7 ans=d you cannot buy 1/3 of a shirt.

give the guy under me the 5 stare and a thanks this is his answer

This year, a small business had a total revenue of $ 62 , 100. If this is 35 % more than their total revenue from the previous y
Olegator [25]

Answer:

$46000

Step-by-step explanation:

if x represents the previous years revenue, and they made 35% more than x, we need to find what 35% of x is and then add it to x to get the new total, so the equation becomes:

x + .35x = 62100

1.35x = 62100

x = 46000

Determine the expression you can substitute for y in to solve the system below.
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given are the two following linear equations:

                       f(x)  =  y  = 1 +  .5x

                       f(x)  =  y  = 11 -  2x

Graph the first equation by finding two data points.  By setting first x and then y equal to zero it is possible to find the y intercept on the vertical axis and the x intercept on the horizontal axis.

           If x = 0, then  f(0)  =  1  + .5(0)  =  1

           If y = 0, then  f(x)  =  0  = 1  +  .5x

                                               -.5x  =  1

                                                    x  =  -2

           The resulting data points are  (0,1)  and  (-2,0)

Graph the second  equation by finding two data points.  By setting first x and then y equal to zero it is possible to find the y intercept on the vertical axis and the x intercept on the horizontal axis.

           If x = 0, then  f(0)  =  11  - 2(0)  =  11

           If y = 0, then  f(x)  =  0  = 11  -  2x

                                               2x  =  11

                                                    x  =  5.5

           The resulting data points are  (0,11)  and  (5.5,0)

At the point of intersection of the two equations x and y have the same values.  From the graph these values can be read as x = 4 and y = 3.

Why does the quotient of 8 ÷ 1 not change when we add a place value in the dividend and the divisor to make 80 ÷ 10?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Basically this is because division can be thought of as how many times does the divisor have to be multiplied in order to produce the dividend.

So you would need to multiply 1 8 times in order to produce the dividend,

Similarly, 10 goes into 80 8 times. The zeros are simply cancelled out in the division.
