At the beginning of summer, Mark has $200 in savings and Ryan has $350. The brothers have mowing jobs set up for the summer. Because Mark is older, he receives $20 for each mowing job and Ryan receives $15. The brothers' parents pay for the fuel used to mow, so all of the money the brothers earn goes to savings. Write two equations, one for Mark and one for Ryan, to represent the money in savings (s) based on the number of mowing jobs (j) Mark and Ryan do. Determine the number of mowing jobs it takes for Mark to have the same amount in savings as Ryan does. Show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]m = 200 + 20j[/tex]

[tex]r = 350 + 15j[/tex]

Number of jobs is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable representation

Let Mark's total earnings for moving be m

Let Ryan's total earnings for moving be r

Represent the number of jobs with j

Setup equation

Mark:

[tex]Initial\ Savings = 200[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 20[/tex]

So, the total savings is:

[tex]m = 200 + 20j[/tex]

Ryan

[tex]Initial\ Savings = 350[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 15[/tex]

So, the total savings is:

[tex]r = 350 + 15j[/tex]

To get the number of jobs they save the same amount.

We have:

[tex]m = r[/tex]

Substitute values for m and r

[tex]200+20j = 350+15j[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]20j - 15j = 350 - 200[/tex]

[tex]5j = 150[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5

[tex]j = \frac{150}{5}[/tex]

[tex]j = 30[/tex]

Hence, the number of jobs is 30

Help!!! What is the difference ? (x - 8)/(3x) - (3x)/(x ^ 2)

Answers

Answer:

Given that you're providing only a single term, asking for a difference doesn't make a lot of sense.  I assume you're asking to have the expression simplified?

If so, then it can be reduced to (x - 17) / 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

You can simplify by multiplying both terms each by a different ratio that equals one, but also gives the terms common denominator.  Multiplying the first one by x²/x² and the second by 3x/3x will do that for you.

After that you can group the terms into one fraction and simplify:

[tex]\frac{x - 8}{3x} - \frac{3x}{x^2} \\\\= \frac{x - 8}{3x}\times\frac{x^2}{x^2} - \frac{3x}{x^2} \times\frac{3x}{3x} \\\\= \frac{x^3 - 8x^2}{3x^3} - \frac{9x^2}{3x^3} \\\\= \frac{x^3 - 8x^2 - 9x^2}{3x^3} \\\\= \frac{x - 8 - 9}{3x}\\\\= \frac{x - 17}{3x}\\[/tex]

Answer:

The difference of [tex]\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}[/tex]  is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{x-17}{3x}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the difference: [tex]\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}[/tex]

Simplifying to find the difference:

[tex]\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}[/tex]

x is common in both 3x and x^2 so, we can cancel it out and we get:

[tex]=\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x(x)}\\=\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3}{x}[/tex]

Now, taking LCM of 3x and x we get 3x, We will multiply 3x with both terms and then solve we get:

[tex]=\frac{x-8-3(3)}{3x}\\=\frac{x-8-9}{3x}\\=\frac{x-17}{3x}[/tex]

It cannot be further simplified, so we get [tex]\frac{x-17}{3x}[/tex] as answer.

So, The difference of [tex]\frac{x-8}{3x}-\frac{3x}{x^2}[/tex]  is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{x-17}{3x}}[/tex]

A fish tank has 150 gallons of water and is being drained at a rate of 1/2 gallon each second. A fish tank has 120 gallons of water and is being filled at a rate of 1/4 gallon each second. After how many seconds will the ywo fish tanks have the same amount of water?

Answers

Answer:

40! Seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for After how many seconds will the two fish tanks have the same amount of water

First step

Based on the information given let the equation be :

150-1/2x=120+1/4x

Second step

Now let solve for x which means that x will be the number of second by multiplying both side by 4

4(150-1/2x)=4(120+1/4x)

=600-2x=480+x

Third step

Let Add 2x on both side

600=480+3x

Third step

Let Subtract 480 on both side

600-480=480-480+3x

120=3x

Last step is to divide both side by 3

120/3=3x/3

40=x

Hence:

x=40 seconds

Therefore After 40 seconds the two fish tanks will have the same amount of water.

You know that 7x - 4 and 5x + 12 are equal, so you can set up an equation and solve it:

[tex]7x - 5 = 5x + 12[/tex]

subtract 5x from both sides

[tex]2x-4=12[/tex]

Add 4 to both sides

[tex]2x = 16[/tex]

divide both sides by 2

Jenny wants to save $900 to go to Puerto Rico. She saves $45 each week. Her brother gives her $180. Write an equation to find how many weeks she must save. (I need the equation)

Answers

Answer:

45x + 180 = 900

x being number of weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that can be used to find the number of weeks is 180+45x = 900 and the number of weeks she must save the money is 16 weeks.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation one variable is present then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

The amount of money Jenny saved each week = $45

The amount her brother gives = $180

Total amount Jenny wants to save = $900

Let's suppose the number of weeks is x

180+45x = 900    (as she has already $180 and each week she saves is                                    

                              $45)                

So from the above equation, we can find the number of weeks.

After solving the equation:

45x = 900 - 180

x = 16 weeks

Thus, the equation that can be used to find the number of weeks is 180+45x = 900 and the number of weeks she must save the money is 16 weeks.

Tori bought 24 candy bars for 69 cents each. She used partial products to find the total cost in cents. Which are NOT possible partial products for 24 × 69?

Answers

Answer:

Options A, B, C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is not complete; here is the complete question.

Tori bought 24 candy bars for 69 cents each. She used partial products to find the total cost in cents. Which are NOT possible partial products for 24 × 69?

A. 24

B. 36

C. 180

D. 240

E. 1656

Cost of one candy = 69 cents  

Since, cost of 24 candies = Cost of one candy × Number of candies

                                          = 69 × 24

For partial product,

69 × 24 = (60 + 9)(20 + 4)

             = 60(20 + 4) + 9(20 + 4)

             = 60×20 + 60×4 + 9×20 + 9×4

             = 1200 + 240 + 180 + 36

             = 1656

Therefore, Options A, B, C and D are not possible partial products.

Manuel incorrectly claimed that the surface area of the cylinder shown is about 190.0 in.2. Use a formula to find the surface area of the cylinder. Use 3.14 for π. What was his likely​ error?

Answers

The likely error in Manuel's claim is 552.61 in².

We have,

Height = 16 in

Diameter = 11 in

radius = 5.5 in

The surface area of a cylinder.

= 2πrh + 2πr²

= 2 x 3.14 x 5.5 x 16 + 2 x 3.14 x 5.5²

= 552.64 + 189.97

= 742.61 in²

Now,

Manuel incorrectly claimed that the surface area of the cylinder is

190.0 in²

Error = Correct surface area - Claimed surface area

Error = 742.61 in² - 190.0 in²

Error ≈ 552.61 in²

Thus,

The likely error in Manuel's claim is 552.61 in².
