Answer:
--- You
--- Another student
Reason: Because there is a variation in the given dimensions
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Your measurement
Another students'
Solving (a): The area
Area is calculated as:
For you
For the other student
Solving (b): Reason for the variation in the areas
The given measurements are estimates of the dimensions of the rectangle.
Since there is a variation in the estimates, there will be some level of variation in the calculated area.
X = how much Tim has
y = how much Tom has
x + y = 2.40
x = 3y
Substitute 3y for x
3y + y = 2.40
4y = 2.40
y = 0.60
Plug in y value into previous equation
x = 3(0.60)
x = 1.80
ANSWERS: Tim has $1.80 and Tom has $0.60
There shouldn't be a negative in front of one of the equations.
Reduce the fraction with 2
Answer:
Try 250 = 70x + 50, or y = 70x + 50.
Step-by-step explanation:
He made 250 total. The variable is how many cars he washes. The y-intercept is 50. Therefore, either 250 = 70x + 50, or y = 70x + 50.
