Using linear functions, it is found that:

  • Jose's equation is: J = 17x + 10.
  • Gavin's equation is: G = 14x + 37.
  • They will be on the same page on the 9th day.

<h3>Linear function:</h3>

A <em>linear function</em> is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

Jose:

  • Initially, he was on page 10, hence b = 10.
  • He reads 17 pages per day, hence m = 17.
  • Hence, Jose's equation is: J = 17x + 10.

Gavin:

  • Initially, he was on page 37, hence b = 37.
  • He reads 14 pages per day, hence m = 14.
  • Hence, Gavin's equation is: G = 14x + 37.

The day they will both be on the same page is x for which:

J = G

Hence:

17x + 10 = 14x + 37

3x = 27

x = \frac{27}{3}

x = 9

They will be on the same page on the 9th day.

Can someone help me please and thanks .
enyata [817]

Answer:

<em>$180.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets find the <em>interest rate.</em>

<em>6.1 ÷ 100 = 0.061</em>

<em>0.061 x $200 = 12.2</em>

based on the calculations, <em>12.2</em> is our interest rate <em>in a year</em>.  Now lets find the interest rate in <em>15 years</em>.

<em>12.2 x 15 = $183 </em>

So <em>$183</em> is our<em> precise</em> interest rate in <em>15 years</em>, but lets<em> round the interest rate to the nearest 10 dollars.</em>  Therefore, <em>$180 is our answer.</em>
