A man goes into a store and says, “If you give me as much money as I have with me now, I will spend $10 in your store.” The store owner agrees, and the man spends the money.
He goes into a second store and again says, “If you give me as much money as I have with me now, I will spend $10 in your store.” Again, the owner agrees, and the man spends the money.
In a third store, he repeats his proposition. The proprietor agrees, and the man spends the money.
At this point, the man has no money left. How much money did he have to begin with?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the amount the man originally had

The man has $x and says "if you give me $x, I will spend $10."

y = amount he has after 1st proposition = x + x - 10 = 2x - 10

He repeats this procedure, now with $2x-10 in his pocket...

z = amount he has after 2nd proposition = (2x - 10) + (2x - 10) - 10 = 4x - 30

He repeats this procedure, now with $4x-30 in his pocket...but this time he is left with zero dollars...

r = amount he has after 3rd proposition = (4x-30) + (4x-30) - 10 = 8x-70 = 0

8x - 70 = 0,

x = $8.75

Tyler needs to complete this table for his consumer science class. He knows that 1 tablespoon contains 3 teaspoons and that 1 cup contains 16 tablespoons.
What are the values of t, x, y, and c ?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This table reflects the proportional relationship amongst number of teaspoons, number of tablespoon, number of cups.

In other words these three measures are proportional.

By taking proportionality ratio of 'number of tablespoons' and 'number of cups' first.

[tex]\frac{12}{48}=\frac{C}{3}[/tex]

C = [tex]\frac{12\times 3}{48}[/tex]

C = 0.75

Similarly, [tex]\frac{y}{2}=\frac{12}{C}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y}{12}=\frac{2}{0.75}[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{24}{0.75}[/tex]

y = 32

Now, [tex]\frac{t}{36}=\frac{y}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{t}{36}=\frac{32}{12}[/tex]

t = 96

By the same rule,

[tex]\frac{36}{x}= \frac{12}{48}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{48\times 36}{12}[/tex]

x = 144

Therefore, complete table will be,

Number of teaspoons       Number of tablespoons          Number of cups

          96                                            32                                          2

          36                                            12                                        0.75

         144                                            48                                          3

When multiplying numbers with only 0's just insert the amount of zeros from the lower number into the bigger number:

1000 = 3 zeros

1000000 = 6 zeros

3 zeros + 6 zeros = 9 zeros

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-
intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = 5x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the linear function is,

f(x) = mx + b

Here, m = Slope of the graph

b = y-intercept

Slope of the line passing through [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given by,

m = [tex]\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}[/tex]

From the table attached,

Slope of the line passing through (2, 5) and (6, 25) will be,

m = [tex]\frac{25-5}{6-2}[/tex]

m = 5

Equation of the linear function will be,

f(x) = 5x + b

Since, a point (10, 45) lies on the function,

45 = 5(10) + b

b = 45 - 50

b = -5

Equation of the linear function will be,

f(x) = 5x - 5

Match the equations with the correct solution.
a. All real numbers
b. x= -2
c. x=3
d. no solution
e. x=1

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 3x+4 = 7x-8

-4x = -12

x = -3 (c)

2) 2x = 7x-5

-5x = 5

x = 1 (e)

3) 5x-8 = 5x+12

0x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to move the terms not containing n to the right side of the equality. The inequality form would be n>4 and the Interval notation would be (4, ∞).

Hope this helps:)

Answer:

EASY PEASY

n = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

n + 7 = -11

Reorder the term:

7 + n = -11

Solving

7 + n = -11

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.

7 + -7 + n = -11 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0

0 + n = -11 + -7

n = -11 + -7

Combine like terms: -11 + -7 = -18

n = -18

Simplifying

n = -18

Maria recently hired a plumber to do some necessary work. On the final bill, Maria was charged a total of $473. The amount listed for parts was $335 and the rest of the bill was for labor. If the hourly rate for labor was $46, how many hours of labor was needed to complete the job?

(A) First write an equation you can use to answer this question. Use x as your variable. The equation is __________________

(B) Solve your equation in part (A) to find the number of labor hours needed to do the job. Answer: The number of labor hours was ________________________

Answers

Answer:

A)473 = 335 - 46x

B) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

473 = 335 - 46x

x = the hours of labor needed.

B)

Solve for x

473 = 335 - 46x

subtract 335 from both sides

138 = 46x

divide both sides by 46

3 = x

Answer:

A) [tex]46x+335=473[/tex]  B)[tex]x=3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

473 is the total amount, which means it is the end result

335 represents a constant since it is a base price

the hourly rate is a variable, due to the fact that it depends on how many hours he spent working.

variable + constant = total price

[tex]46x+335=473[/tex]

Now to solve this, first subtract [tex]335[/tex] from both sides

[tex]46x=138[/tex]

Next divide both sides by [tex]46[/tex] to isolate the variable

[tex]x= \frac{138}{46}[/tex]

This can be simplified to: [tex]x=3[/tex]
