*Given

Money of Phoebe            - 3 times as much as Andy

Money of Andy                - 2 times as much as Polly

Total money of Phoebe,  - £270

   Andy and Polly

*Solution

Let

B - Phoebe's money

A - Andy's money

L - Polly's money

1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total £270. Thus,

                 B + A + L  = £270                     (EQUATION 1)

2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as

 

                 B = 3A

3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as

                 A = 2L                           (EQUATION 2)

4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly,

                B = 3A

                B = 3 x (2L)

                B = 6L                            (EQUATION 3)

This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only.

5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes,

                 6L + 2L + L = £270

                               9L = £270

                                 L = £30

So, Polly has £30.

6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively.

                 A = 2L                          

                 A = 2(£30)

                 A = £60

Andy has £60

                 B = 6L                        

                 B = 6(£30)

                 B = £180

Phoebe has £180

Therefore, Polly's money is £30, Andy's is £60, and Phoebe's is £180.

Consider the linear function y = 5x + 12 and the linear function represented by the table of values below.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

(a) and (f)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 5x + 12

See attachment for table and options

First, we calculate the slope of the table

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Using:

(x_1,y_1) = (2,29)

(x_1,y_1) = (4,53)\\

So, we have:

m = \frac{53- 29}{4 - 2}

m = \frac{24}{2}

m = 12

The equation is then calculated using:

y = m(x -x_1) + y_1

This gives:

y = 12*(x -2) + 29

y = 12x -24 + 29

y = 12x+5

So, we have:

y = 5x + 12 --- The given equation

and

y = 12x+5 --- The equation of the table

An equation is represented as:

y = mx + b

Where:

m = slope or rate of change

b = y intercept

So, for the given equation: y = 5x + 12

Rate of change = 5

y intercept = 12

For the table: y = 12x+5

Rate of change = 12

y intercept = 5

In conclusion:

(a) y = 12x+5 has the greater rate of change:

and

(f) y = 5x + 12 has the greater y intercept
