The number of weeks it will take both Sam and Marshall to have the same amount of savings in their accounts is 48 weeks

Given:

<em>Amount with Sam </em>= $2,500

<em>Additional savings each week</em> = $40

<em>Amount with Marshal</em> = $7,300

<em>Amount spent each week</em> = $60

let

x = <em>number of weeks</em>

<em>Sam equation:</em>

2500 + 40x

<em>Marshall's equation:</em>

7300 - 60x

Equate both

2500 + 40x = 7300 - 60x

<em>collect like terms</em>

2500 - 7300 = - 60x - 40x

-4800 = -100x

divide both sides by - 100

x = -4800 / -100

x = 48 weeks

Therefore, the number of weeks it will take both Sam and Marshall to have the same amount of savings in their accounts is 48 weeks

Let's solve for x :

  • \sqrt{x - 2}  - x =  - 2

  • \sqrt{x - 2}  = x - 2

  • 1 =  \dfrac{x - 2}{ \sqrt{x - 2} }

  • 1 =  \sqrt{x - 2}

  • x - 2 = 1

  • x = 3

Y=1/2×-6 ×=-4 what is the solution to the system of equations
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

(-4, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the substitution method.  x = -4, so y = (1/2)x - 6 becomes:

y = (1/2)(-4) - 6, or y = -2 - 6, or y = -8.

The solution is (-4, -8).
