Mathematics

5 0

Answer:

$95, $115, $135, $155

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first person gets x dollars:

the next person gets 20 more, so x + 20 dollars

the next person gets x + 40 dollars

and the last person gets x + 60 dollars

We add all these allocations together, and we get $500

x + (x + 20) + (x + 40) + (x + 60) = 500

Combine like terms

4x + 120 = 500

Subtract 120 on both sides

4x = 380

Divide by 4 on both sides

x = 95

So the first person gets $95.

The second person must get $115

The third must get $135

And the fourth must get $155

Checking our work:

95 + 115 + 135 + 155 = 500

Question 8 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The function f(x) is not in correct format it must be f(x)=3^x.

It is given that two different plants that grow each month at different rates are represented by the functions f(x) and g(x).

Let as consider the two functions,

f(x)=3^x

g(x)=5x+12

Now, table of values is

Month(x)        f(x)=3^x           g(x)=5x+12

    1                      3                          17

    2                     9                         22

    3                     27                        27

    4                     81                        32

From the above table it is clear that in first and second month the height of the f(x) plant is less than of g(x).

In month 3, heights are equal.

In month 4, height of the f(x) plant exceed that of the g(x) plant.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
