Answer:
total amount donated when aaron walks n miles = $2 + $3(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Aaron participates in a walkathon for charity. He has a sponsor who has pledged a base donation of $2 for the first mile he walks and then a certain dollar amount for each additional mile he walks. Based on this pledge, if Aaron walks 8 miles, the sponsor will donate a total of $23 to the charity.
Write a formula that can be used to determine the amount of money this sponsor donates when Aaron walks n miles.
total amount sponsor pays = base donations + (additional miles walked after first mile x amount paid)
when Aaron walks 8 miles
additional miles = 8 - 1 = 7
23 = 2 + 7x
23 - 2 = 7x
x = 3
additional amount paid is $3
total amount donated when aaron walks n miles = $2 + $3(n-1)
Answer: 88
Step-by-step explanation: To find 55% of 160, first write 55% as a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left to get .55.
Next, the word "of" means multiply, so we have (.55) x (160).
(.55) (160) = 88
Therefore, 55% of 160 is 88.
Slope-intercept form is

, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Here, we first need to distribute the 1/3.

Next, we add 3 to both sides of the equation.
Let's solve for x first,
3x + 5y - 5y = 1 - 5y
3x/3 = 1/3 - 5y/3
x = 1/3 - 5/3y
Let's now plug that into the other equation,
7(1/3 - 5/3y) + 4y = -13
7/3 - 35/3y + 4y = -13
7/3 - 7 2/3y - 7/3 = -13 - 7/3
- 7 2/3y (-3/23) = -15 1/3 (-3/23)
y = 2
The answer is 2
