Answer:

  • Sara is 10 and Laila is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Sara's age = s
  • Laila's age = l

<u>The ratios:</u>

  • s/l = 5/4 ⇒ s = 5l/4
  • (s + 2)/(l + 2) = 6/5 ⇒ 5(s + 2) = 6(l + 2) ⇒ 5s = 6l + 2

<u>Substitute s into the second equation and solve for l:</u>

  • 5(5l/4) = 6l + 2
  • 25l = 24l + 8
  • l = 8

<u>Fins s:</u>

  • s = 5*8/4 = 10

the function f(x) = 3,005(1+0.03)^x represents the amount of money in a savings account where x represents time in years. what d
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Option d. the initial amount of money placed in the savings account

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=3,005(1+0.03)^{x}

This is a exponential function of the form

f(x)=a(1+r)^{x}

where

a is the initial value

r is the growth rate

(1+r) is the base

x is the number of years

f(x) is the amount of money in a savings account

In this problem we have

a=$3,005

r=0.03=3%

(1+r)=1.03

therefore

3,005 represent the initial value ( the amount of money for the value of x equal to zero)

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jenna knits scarves and sells them on Etsy an online market place.

C(x)=4x+20

Where C=Represents the cost in dollars

x=Number of scarves

We have to create a table to show the relationship between the number of scarves x and the cost C

Substitute x=1

C(1)=4(1)+20=$24

Substitute x=2

C(2)=4(2)+20=$28

C(3)=4(3)+20=$32

C(4)=4(4)+20=$36

C(5)=4(5)+20=$40

C(6)=4(6)+20=$44
