Answer:

The numbers are -61 and -68

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Smaller number

y = Larger number

x + y = - 129

y = x + 7

*********************************

x = - 129 - y

*********************************

Substituting x and solving for x and y, we have:

y = -129 - y + 7

2y = - 129 + 7

2y = -122

y = -122/2

y = -61 ⇒ x = -68

The numbers are -61 and -68

Miles is saving to buy a new car. He currently has $600 in his savings account. He plans on depositing $200 a month until he has

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

7 months

Step-by-step explanation:

He plans on depositing $200 every month into the savings account that already has $600 in it.

We can represent the amount of money he will have after a certain number of months (x) as:

A = 600 + 200x

He needs to save $2000. Therefore, to find the months he needs to save, we need to find x when A is $2000:

2000 = 600 + 200x

200x = 2000 - 600

200x = 1400

x = 1400/200 = 7 months

He needs to save for 7 months.
