Answer to the 1st question: 8 years
Answer to the 2nd question: The year 2022
=======================================================
Further explanation:
x = number of years after 2008
y = average price of a new car
The prices are going up by $1250 per year on average. This is the slope because the slope is the rate of change. So m = 1250.
The y intercept is b = 30100 as this is the price in 2008.
This leads us to go from y = mx+b to y = 1250x+30100
Plug in x = 0 and you should get y = 30100.
Also, plugging x = 6 into the equation leads to y = 37600 to help confirm things.
-----------------
Next, we plug in y = 47600 and solve for x.
y = 1250x+30100
47600 = 1250x+30100
47600-30100 = 1250x
17500 = 1250x
1250x = 17500
x = 17500/1250
x = 14
This means 14 years after the year 2008 is when the average new car price will be $47,600.
2008+14 = 2022
2022-2014 = 8
Therefore, <u>8 years</u> after 2014 (aka the <u>the year 2022</u>) is when the new car average price will be $47,600.
Answer:
a). 1/13
There are 4 5s. so 4/52
b). 3/13
12 total jack, king, and queen. 12/52
c). 15/26
30 cards are not face cards so 30/52
Perform the indicated division, if any.
Rate: (500 miles)/(20 hours)
Unit rate: (500/20) miles/hour = (25 miles)/(1 hour) = 25 miles/hour
A unit rate is a rate with one unit in the denominator.
Let's call job one x.
Job two can be y.
Jason earned $3,700 more from job y than x. Therefore y = x + 3700
From the two jobs, Jason earned $15,900. This can be written as x + y = 15900.
Now substitute y for x + 3700:
x + x + 3700 = 15900
2x + 3700 = 15900
Subtract 3700 from both sides:
2x = 12200
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 6100
Take the original equation x + y = 15900 and substitute x with 6100:
6100 + y = 15900
y = 9800
Job one (x) paid Jason $6,100.
Job two (y) paid Jason $9,800.
