The amount he gets for lunch is an illustration of mean and averages.
He gets for lunch is $240 daily
Represent the amount he gets for lunch each day be x.
So, the amount saved each day is x/2
From Monday to Friday, the total savings would be 5x/2
So, we have:
Multiply both sides by 2
Divide both sides by 5
Hence, the amount he gets for lunch is $240 daily

Answer:
Given equations:
- a) -3x + 3y = 9
- b) 2x - 7y = -14
<u>Make x the subject in equation 1</u>:
- -3x + 3y = 9
- -3x = 9 - 3y
- x = y - 3
<u>Substitute this into equation 2</u>:
2(y - 3) - 7y = -14
2y - 7y = -14 + 6
-5y = -8
y = -8/-5
y = 1.6
Then x = y - 3
= 1.6 - 3
= -1.4
Solution: (x, y) ⇒ (-1.4, 1.6)
If BC is parallel to DE then ∠D ≅ ∠B and ∠E ≅ ∠C. Therefore
ΔABC is similar to ΔADE.
The sides of smaller triangle are in proportion with sides of bigger triangle.
Therefore we have the equation:
We have AC = x, AE = x + 15, AB = 8, AD = 8 + 10 = 18.
Substitute:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>use distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>
<em>subtract 8x from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 10</em>
