Answer:
5 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Jason's original weight = 120 pounds
Let the no. of months be m
If he gains 10 pounds in each moth , then his weight in m months will be = 10m
His total weight will be= 120+10m -----(1)
Gerardo's original weight = 150 pounds
If he gains 4 pounds in each month , then his weight in m months will me =4m
His total weight will be = 150+4m-----(2)
<u>Equating (1) ans(2)</u>
120+10m=150+4m
=>10m-4m=150-120
=>6m=30
=>m=
<u>=>m=5</u>
It will take 5 months for Jason to weigh the same as Gerardo
I'm assuming you want us to solve this inequality for x, since the question wasn't too clear on that.

Add 35 to both sides to remove the "-35" on the left side so we can isolate the x


The solution to this inequality is x>50. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer:
- $70
- y = 25 + 0.9x
- $250
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 10% of $50 is $5, so the purchases would come to $50 -5 = $45. Added to the $25 membership fee, the total cost for the year would be
$45 +25 = $70
2. The member pays $25 even if no purchases are made. Then any purchases are 100% - 10% = 90% of the marked price. So, the total is ...
y = 25 + 0.90x
3. $25 is 10% of $250, so that is the amount the member would have to purchase to break even on cost.
If you like, you can compare the cost without the membership (x) to the cost with the membership (25+.9x) and see where those costs are equal.
x = 25 +0.9x . . . . . x is the spending level at which there is no advantage
0.1x = 25 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.9x
25/0.1 = x = 250 . . . divide by 0.1
