The ratio of the number of Miki's stickers to the number of Ken's

Mathematics

7 0

Answer:

Miki had 288 stickers and Ken had 252 stickers.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

Miki has x stickers.

Ken has y stickers.

The ratio of the number of Miki's stickers to the number of Ken's stickers was 8:7.

This means that \frac{x}{y} = \frac{8}{7}, that is: 7x = 8y, or x = \frac{8y}{7}

After Miki gave Ken 18 of her stickers, they had the same number of stickers.

This means that:

x - 18 = y + 18

x - y = 36

Since x = \frac{8y}{7}

\frac{8y}{7} - y = 36

\frac{8y}{7} - \frac{7y}{7} = 36

\frac{y}{7} = 36

y = 36*7 = 252

And

x - y = 36

x = 36 + y = 36 + 252 = 288

Miki had 288 stickers and Ken had 252 stickers.

What is the equation in point slope form of a line that passes through the point (–8, 2) and has a slope of 1/2?
Kamila [148]
Point slope equation: 
y-y1=m(x-x1) 
m=slope

So we simply plug in our given information: 
x1=-8 
y1=2
m=1/2

y-2=1/2(x-(-8)  

2 minus signs next to each other make a positive 

Final answer: 
y-2=1/2(x+8)

Question 7 (Essay Worth 5 points)
kogti [31]

Answer:

x = -2

y=-3

(-2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both equations are equal to y

We can set them equal to each other

y = 3x + 3

y = x − 1

3x+3 = x-1

Subtract x from each side

3x+3 -x = x-1-x

2x+3 = -1

Subtract 3 from each side

2x+3-3 = -1-3

2x = -4

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = -4/2

x = -2

Now we need to find y

y = x-1

y = -2-1

y = -3

y = x-1

Rob invests $3,715 in a retirement account
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

$14,048.62

Step-by-step explanation:

The interest is 9% per year and compounded 3 times a year, so each compound will be 9%/3 = 3%

The time elapsed will be 15 years and the interest compounded 3 times a year, so the number of compounds happens will be = 15 years* 3 compounds/year= 45x compound.

So basically the money will get 3% interest 45 times. To put into the compounding interest formula, the final account balance will be:

A = P (1 + [ r / n ]) ^ nt

A= amount of the balance after a period of t

P= principal, the initial money deposit( $3,715)

r= rate(9%)

n= number of compound per unit of time(3 times per year)

t= time(15 years)

The calculation will be:

A = P (1 + [ r / n ]) ^ nt

A = $3,715(\frac{1+0.09}{3} )^{3*15}

A = $14,048.62
