Answer:

(0, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are multiple ways of solving this however- since both equations are already in Y-Intercept form, we will use the "Equal Values Method"

First, since both equations are equal to Y, we can set them equal to each other and solve for X

$\frac{3 }{4} x - 1 = \frac{4}{3} x - 1$

To start, you must eliminate the fraction using a "fraction buster" multiply EVERYTHING by 4 then simplify.

$3x - 4 = 5 \frac{1}{3}x - 4$

Since we still have a fraction, we shall do it one more time. This time we multiply by 3

$9x - 12 = 6 x - 12$

Now, solve how you normally would.

9x = 6x

-6x

3x = 0

X = 0

Now, since we know what X would equal in the solution, we are able to plug in X as 0 in one of our equations. We can choose the first one!

$y = \frac{3}{4} (0) - 1$

Now solve which would lead to y = -1

You have your solution as

(X,Y)

(0,-1)

Hope this helps!

John, Sally, and Natalie would all like to save some money. John decides that it

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Part 1) John’s situation is modeled by a linear equation (see the explanation)

Part 2) $y=100x+300$

Part 3) $\$12,300$

Part 4) $\$2,700$

Part 5) Is a exponential growth function

Part 6) $A=6,000(1.07)^{t}$

Part 7) $\$11,802.91$

Part 8) $\$6,869.40$

Part 9) Is a exponential growth function

Part 10) $A=5,000(e)^{0.10t}$ or $A=5,000(1.1052)^{t}$

Part 11) $\$13,591.41$

Part 12) $\$6,107.01$

Part 13) Natalie has the most money after 10 years

Part 14) Sally has the most money after 2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) What type of equation models John’s situation?

Let

y ----> the total money saved in a jar

x ---> the time in months

The linear equation in slope intercept form

y=mx+b

The slope is equal to

$m=\$100\ per\ month$

The y-intercept or initial value is

$b=\$300$

$y=100x+300$

therefore

John’s situation is modeled by a linear equation

Part 2) Write the model equation for John’s situation

see part 1)

Part 3) How much money will John have after 10 years?

Remember that

1 year is equal to 12 months

$10\ years=10(12)=120 months$

For x=120 months

substitute in the linear equation

$y=100(120)+300=\$12,300$

Part 4) How much money will John have after 2 years?

Remember that

1 year is equal to 12 months

$2\ years=2(12)=24\ months$

For x=24 months

substitute in the linear equation

$y=100(24)+300=\$2,700$

Part 5) What type of exponential model is Sally’s situation?

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have

$P=\$6,000\\ r=7\%=0.07\\n=1$

substitute in the formula above

$A=6,000(1+\frac{0.07}{1})^{1*t}\\ A=6,000(1.07)^{t}$

therefore

Is a exponential growth function

Part 6) Write the model equation for Sally’s situation

see the Part 5)

Part 7) How much money will Sally have after 10 years?

For t=10 years

substitute the value of t in the exponential growth function

$A=6,000(1.07)^{10}=\$11,802.91$

Part 8) How much money will Sally have after 2 years?

For t=2 years

substitute the value of t in the exponential growth function

$A=6,000(1.07)^{2}=\$6,869.40$

Part 9) What type of exponential model is Natalie’s situation?

we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

$A=P(e)^{rt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

e is the mathematical constant number

we have

$P=\$5,000\\r=10\%=0.10$

substitute in the formula above

$A=5,000(e)^{0.10t}$

Applying property of exponents

$A=5,000(1.1052)^{t}$

therefore

Is a exponential growth function

Part 10) Write the model equation for Natalie’s situation

$A=5,000(e)^{0.10t}$ or $A=5,000(1.1052)^{t}$

see Part 9)

Part 11) How much money will Natalie have after 10 years?

For t=10 years

substitute

$A=5,000(e)^{0.10*10}=\$13,591.41$

Part 12) How much money will Natalie have after 2 years?

For t=2 years

substitute

$A=5,000(e)^{0.10*2}=\$6,107.01$

Part 13) Who will have the most money after 10 years?

Compare the final investment after 10 years of John, Sally, and Natalie

Natalie has the most money after 10 years

Part 14) Who will have the most money after 2 years?

Compare the final investment after 2 years of John, Sally, and Natalie

Sally has the most money after 2 years

Find Percent of a Number - Instruction - Level F

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Sierra's team has a greater percent of left-handed batters.

25% of Sierra's team bat left handed and 20% of Aubrey's team bat left handed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sierra: 7/28 = 1/4

1/4 written as a percentage is 25%

Aubrey: 5/25 = 1/5

1/5 written as a percentage is 20%

25% is greater than 20%, so Sierra's team has a greater percent of left-handed batters.

25% of Sierra's team bat left handed and 20% of Aubrey's team bat left handed.

Hope this helps ;)

Hunter-Best [27]

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $320 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $9.25, and tickets cost $28.25 per person, including tax. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine p, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

___________________________________________

Please, give me some minutes to take over your question

________________________

They have no more than $320 to spend on parking and admission

320 ≥ 9.25 + 28.25*p

9.25 + 28.25*p ≤ 320

320- 9.25 ≥ 28.25*p

310.75/28.25 ≥ p

p ≤ 11

__________________________

Answer

The number of people who can go to the amusement park can be a maximum of 11 people (less than or equal to 11).
