Mr. miller has $25 in his savings and wants to put $10 every week into the account. write an equation showing how much money he

iris [78.8K]

The equation you write would be linear, and would be written in slope intercept form y=mx+b. Since Mr. Miller already has $25, we plug that in for "b" in the equation. We plug 10 in for "m", because "x" represents the number of weeks he has been saving. The equation would be y=10x+25. To find how much money Mr. Miller will have in 7 weeks, plug in 7 for x. y=10(7)+25 -> y=70+25 -> y=95 -> $95

Divide. Write the quotient in lowest terms.<br> 5 divide 3 1/3

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

3/2 or 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5÷3 1/3

5/1 ÷ 10/3 because you have to get it into an improper fraction form in order to divide

5/1 × 3/10 because you have to multiply the first number by the reciprocal

5 and 10 cancel out so you would have 2 at the bottom

3/2 or 1 1/2

I won $60,000 I invested part in a CD at 2% interest the rest at 3%interest in a cd at the end of the year I earned $1600 in int

zaharov [31]

Let x = amount invested in 2% CD and y = amount invested in 3% CD
x + y = 60000
0.02x + 0.03y = 1600
SOLVE THE 1st EQUATION FOR x AND SUBSTITUTE RESULT IN 2nd
0.02(60000 - y) + 0.03y = 1600
1200 - 0.02y + 0.03y = 1600
0.03y = 400
y = 13333.34
x = 46666.66
