Brad gets an allowance of $16 each week, and his younger sister Samantha gets an allowance of $9 each week. Brad saves one-half of his allowance, and Samantha saves two-thirds of her allowance. Suppose Brad started with $0 savings, and Samantha started with $40. How many weeks will it take until they have the same amount in savings?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

20 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to find the amount of weeks that it will take them to have the same amount, you can say that the amount that Brad saves each week for the number of weeks is equal to the amount that Samantha saves each week for the number of weeks plus the initial amount she has:

(16*1/2)*x=((9*2/3)*x)+40, where

x is the number of weeks

Now, you have to solve for x:

8x=6x+40

8x-6x=40

2x=40

x=40/2

x=20

According to this, the answer is that it will take them 20 weeks to have the same amount in savings.

Use the remainder theorem, which says the remainder upon dividing a polynomial [tex]p(x)[/tex] by [tex]x-c[/tex] is exactly [tex]p(c)[/tex]. In this case,

[tex]p(x)=2x^2+2x+1[/tex]

If f(x) = 2x+7 and g(x) = -3x+5, what is f(g(4))?

Answers

Answer is -7

Plug 4 in for g(x) and solve to get x=-7.Plug x=-7 in for f(x).

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the two functions:

[tex]f(x)=2x+7\text{ and } g(x)=-3x+5[/tex]

And we want to find f(g(4)).

So, find g(4) first:

[tex]g(x)=-3x+5\\g(4)=-3(4)+5[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]g(4)=-12+5[/tex]

Add:

[tex]g(4)=-7[/tex]

Now, substitute:

[tex]f(g(4))=f(-7)[/tex]

Use the equation from f(x):

[tex]f(x)=2x+7\\f(-7)=2(-7)+7[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]f(-7)=-14+7[/tex]

Add:

[tex]f(-7)=-7[/tex]

So:

[tex]f(-7)=f(g(4))=-7[/tex]

Beakers X and Y contain some water. If 50 ml of water is transferred from Beaker X
to Beaker Y, there will be 3/7 as much water in Beaker X as in Beaker Y. IF 100 ml
of water is transferred from Beaker Y to Beaker X, there will be 4 times as much
water in Beaker X as in Beaker Y. How much water is there in Beaker X?​

Answers

Answer:

140 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of water in Beaker X and y be the amount of water in Beaker Y.

Then we get following equations:

First part

x - 50 = 3/7(y + 50)7x -350 = 3y + 1507x = 3y + 500

Second part

x + 100 = 4(y - 100) x + 100 = 4y - 400x = 4y - 500

Substitute x in first equation:

7(4y - 500) = 3y + 50028y - 3500 = 3y + 50028y - 3y = 500 + 350025y = 4000y = 4000/25y = 160 ml

Then finding x:

x = 4*160 - 500x = 640 - 500x = 140 ml

Initial amount of water in Beaker X is 140 ml, in Beaker Y is 160 ml

Half the perimeter of a rectangular room is 46 m, and its length is 6 m more than its breadth. What is the length and breadth of the room?

Answers

Answer:

26 m and 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the room be l, the breadth be b and perimeter be P.

Given:

P/2 = 46 ml = b + 6 mSolution

Since P = 2(l + b), P/2 = l +b, we have following equations:

l + b = 46l = b + 6

Substituting l in first equation:

b + 6 + b = 462b + 6 = 462b = 40b = 20 m

Then the length is:

l = b + 6 = 20 + 6 = 26 m

Given x=-3, y=6, and z=-4 22-3y+4x=​

Answers

Answer: -8

Explanation: It's a good idea to get into the habit of using parenthses

when substituting numbers in for variables.

Since x = -3 and y = 6, 22 - 3y + 4x is 22 - 3(6) + 4(-3).

3(6) is 18 so we have 22 - 18 + 4(-3).

4(-3) is - 12 so we have 22 - 18 + -12.

Now, 22 - 18 is 4 and 4 + -12 is -8.

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subsitute the variable "y" with 6 and the variable "x" with -3. Once the variables are replaced with the right numbers, the equation should read 22- 3(6) +4(-3). Using PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction) you should do what's in the parentheses first. -3 times 6 is -18 and 4 times -3 is -12. 22-18-12= -8

Answers

Answer: $18.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original cost of meal =x

According to question,

x+20%=18.96

x=18.96-20%

x=$18.76

Answer:

original cost of meal  = $15.80

Step-by-step explanation:

120% = $18.96 (divide both sides by 120)

1% = $0.158  (multiply both sides by 100)

100% = $15.80

This situation models direct proportionality, hence, if one variable increases, the other goes increases as well and vice versa. In this case, the variables are inches and miles.

Part A: Since you multiply 60/25 by 25 to get 60 miles, we know that the value in inches will be 2 * 60/25 = 4.8 inches.

Part B: Since you divide 2 by 8 to get 1/4 inches, we know that the value in miles will be 25 / 8 = 3.125 miles.

find the coordinates of the other endpoint of the segment of one endpoint is (-2,-7) and midpoint is (6,-10)

Answers

Answer:

(14, - 13 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (x₁ + x₂ ), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (y₁ + y₂ ) ]

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (x, y)

Using the midpoint formulae equate to the coordinates of the midpoint.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (- 2 + x) = 6 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

- 2 + x = 12 ( add 2 to each side )

x = 14

and

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (- 7 + y ) = - 10 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

- 7 + y = - 20 ( add 7 to both sides )

y = - 13

Thus

coordinates of other endpoint = (14, - 13 )

Explain how economic forces such as employment, income, prices, interest rates, and consumer confidence influence the purchasing decisions you make as a consumer.

Answers

Answer: kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

As a consumer, a number of factors play a number of factors play a major role and guides my purchasing decision. These factors include :

Employment : Being employed or self employed and being unemployed definitely plays a role in one's income level. An unemployed individual may tend to be more conservative when deciding on what or what not to purchase.

Income : Employment has grades which could be defined based on income level of workers, individuals with higher wages or salaries will tend to boast more financial strength than those with meager income.

Prices : Cost of items may be used to interpret quality product in some cases, hence some individuals may be put off by high cost associated to a product while some may be attracted to them.

Interest rate: Interest rates are often unstable and as such may guide an individual's investment plan, by holding on when interest falls and financing when it rises.

Consumer confidence : The contentment individuals derive from using a product may be nurtured through previous experience and hence either builds consumer confidence in a certain brand or a loss or decline in confidence over such product.
