Answer:

Caitlin equals 55

Step-by-step explanation:

t= the money troy earned

c =money caitlin earned

The sum of their earnings was 80

t+c = 80

last month caitlin earned $5 more than twice what troy earned

c = 2t+5

We have 2 equations and 2 unknowns

Substitute the second equation into the first

t+c= 80

t+2t+5 = 80

Combine like terms

3t+5 = 80

Subtract 5 from each side

3t+5-5 = 80-5

3t = 75

Divide by 3

3t/3 = 75/3

t =25

Now we need to calculate c

c = 2(25)+5

c = 50 +5

c =55

Bert is planning to open a savings account that earns 1.6% simple interest yearly. He wants to earn exactly $240 in interest aft
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

D. $5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money he should deposit is the principal.

The principal P can be gotten by

P = 100 I /RT

Where

I = interest

R = rate

T = Time

Given

I = $240

R = 1.6%

T = 3 yrs

P = 100 x 240 /1.6 x 3

Multiply through

= 24000/4.8

= $5000

Here’s a graph of a linear function. Write the equation that describes that function. (Zoom in if blurry)
Maru [420]

Answer: y = x/2 + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

Slope, m = change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

Looking at the graph,

y2 = 6

y1 = 4

x2 = 6

x1 = 2

Slope,m = (6 - 4)/(6 - 2) = 2/4 = 1/2

To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 2, y = 4 and m= 1/2 into y = mx + c. It becomes

4 = 1/2 × 2 + c

4 = 1 + c

c = 4 - 1

c = 3

The equation becomes

y = x/2 + 3

PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!! Jonas used linear combination to solve the system of equations shown. He did so by multiplying the first
OverLord2011 [107]
This question is worded slightly strangely but I believe I understand it. 
To eliminate x, multiply the second equation by 8, so that it becomes 4x + .8y= 96
Then you can subtract 4x on the top by 4x on the bottom to eliminate it.
