Answer:
You and your friend both get 3/16 of the bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
3/8 divided by 2 friends
3/8 / 2 = 3/16
Your question answers itself. You solve by graphing.
I like to subtract one side of the equation from the other, so the solutions are where the graph crosses the x-axis (the resulting function value is zero).
It can be useful to find the "turning point" of each absolute value expression (where its value is zero) and graph that and some points on either side.
In order to calculate the amount, we simply substitute the number of years into x in both equations.
After 3 years:
f(3) = 5(3) + 150
= $165
g(3) = 150 * 1.03⁽³⁾
= $163.90
After 10 years:
f(10) = 5(10) + 150
= $200
g(10) = 150 * 1.03⁽¹⁰⁾
= $201.59
After three years, the first account has more money but after ten years, the second account has more money.
