The empty jug weighs 0.75 lb
With the 3c, the total weighs 2.25 lb. That means:
3c + empty jug = 3c + 0.75 = 2.25
3c = 2.25 - 0.75
3c = 1.5
and 1c = 0.5 (so c is a constant -or the slope-)
Then the equation is:
y = 0.5x + 0.75
The answer to this question is 5x3-3x2-5x+3
Answer:
after 10 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of months and y be the amount they still owe.
Sin Ian borrows $1000 from his parents, then the y-intercept b= 1000 since he owes $1000 when x = 0. He pays them back $60 each month The slope is then m = -60 . Substituting in b = 1000 and m = -60 into the slope-intercept form of a line then gives y= mx + b=-60x +1000.
Sin Ken borrows $600 from his parents, then the y-intercept b = 600 since he owes $600 When x= 0. He pays them back $20 per month so the amount he owes decreases $20 each month. The slope is then m = -20 . Substituting in
b= 600 and m = -20 into the slope-intercept form then gives y = mx +b = -20x + 600.
They will owe the same amount when they have the same y-coordinate. Therefore -60x+ 1000= y= -20x+600. Solve this equation for x:
-60x+ 1000 = -20x+ 600
1000 = 40x+ 600
400 = 40x
10=x
They will then owe the same amount after 10 months.
