The trick with this problem is that there is no trick - there's no math involved at all, just wordplay. The key is in one-time deposit; what you're looking for isn't a recurring fee, but rather a constant. Now, an equation is made up of three things:
- a variable
- a relational statement in the form of =
- a constant, even if it isn't really there, it's zero
In this case, what you're looking for is the constant in the equation; a value that doesn't change when any variable changes.
The only number in your question that fits the bill is 1200$, since it's a <em>one-time, unchanging value.</em> <em>y </em>is the total amount paid and x represents the months, which are both variables; 400 is tied to x, so it also changes based on months.
Slope: -4
Y-intercept : (0, -10)
Explanation:
Pair 1 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $600/20% = $3,000.
Pair 2 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $1200/10% = $12,000.
Both pairs can be true if Jeff's monthly income increased by a factor of 4 in the 20 years from 1990 to 2010.
Obviously, Jeff spent more on housing in 2010. (Fortunately for Jeff, that larger expenditure was a smaller fraction of his income.)
Answer:
The equation 2d + 18 = 24 can help find the number of days Jerry has been doing sit-ups.
Step-by-step explanation:
During the first day, Jerry did 18 sit-ups, and he proceeded to do 2 more sit-ups each following day, so the expression to represent this situation is 2d + 18. Because he did 24 sit-ups today, to find the number of days he did sit-ups, the equation to solve is 2d + 18 = 24.
Leaf #2 because 27 and 23 are closest to 30
