Answer:
Equations:
<u>Mia: 10 + 10x = y</u>
<u>Julie: 100 - 5x = y</u>
Solved: <u>(6, 70)</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Mia: 10 + 10x = y
She already has 10 (<u>10</u>) and gains 10 (<u>+10</u>) per day (<u>x</u>). Total is y gained.
Julie: 100 - 5x = y
She already has 100 (<u>100</u>) and loses 5 (<u>-5</u>) per day (<u>x</u>). Total is y gained.
Then I simply solve
10 + 10x = y
100 - 5x = y
Resulting in (6, 70)
It is 3 73/99
I just used a fraction calculator lol
The number is 6.25.
We will set up an equation for this. Let x be the unknown number. Subtracting 1.05 from it gives us
(x-1.05)
Multiplying the difference by 0.8 would give us
0.8(x-1.05)
Adding 2.84 to the product would give us
0.8(x-1.05)+2.84
Dividing the sum by 0.01 would give us
[0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01 = 700
We will start working backward, cancelling the division by 0.01 first by multiplying:
([0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01)*0.01 = 700*0.01
0.8(x-1.05)+2.84 =7
Subtract 2.84 from both sides:
0.8(x-1.05)+2.84-2.84 = 7-2.84
0.8(x-1.05) = 4.16
Use the distributive property on the left side:
0.8*x - 0.8*1.05 = 4.16
0.8x - 0.84 = 4.16
Add 0.84 to both sides:
0.8x - 0.84+0.84 = 4.16+0.84
0.8x = 5
Divide both sides by 0.8:
0.8x/0.8 = 5/0.8
x = 6.25
Answer:
a = 9
b = 6
I hope you can do the rest yoyrself, as I coulsnt find how to type it out ;-;
