Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
18/24 is a 1/2 reduction from 36/48.
3/4 is simplest form.
At the bank, Derek made 7 withdrawals, each in the same amount. His brother, John, made 5 withdrawls, each in the same amount.
Let x be the amount of one of Derek's withdrawals
Each of John's withdrawals was $5 more than each withdrawal that Derek made.
x + 5 is t the amount of one of John's withdrawals
Derek made 7 withdrawals
So amount withdraw 7 times = 7x
John made 5 withdrawals
So amount withdraw 5 times = 5(x+5)
Both Derek and John withdrew the same amount of money in the end
(A) 7x = 5(x+5)
(B) Solve for x
7x = 5x + 25
Subtract 5x from both sides
2x = 25
Divide by 2
x = 12.5
(C) check your solution
we plug in 12.5 for x in 7x= 5x + 25
7(12.5) = 5(12.5) + 25
87.5 = 62.5+ 25
87.5 = 87.5
(D) Each brother withdrawal 87.5 dollars
D) because the first equation*3-the second equation*;
the left side=0, the right side = 36
Answer: 
Remember: RISE/RUN (y/x). Lines that are increasing have a positive slope, and lines that are decreasing have a negative slope.
You can find the slope in two ways:
1. Useful if the line is graphed: count the units between 2 points on the line.
- Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
- (-1, 4) is 8 units higher than (4, -4) and 5 units to the left of (4, -4).
- Because the line is decreasing, the slope is negative.
- Therefore, the slope is .
2. Useful if the line is not graphed: find the difference between the y-coordinate values divided by the difference of the x-coordinate values.
- Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
- Therefore, the slope is .
If he counts 76 feet, that means there’s 38 animals in total, because animals have 2 feet. 76/2=38
Hope that helps..!
