How to solve problem kathy spent 3 fifths of her money on a necklace and 2 thirds of the remainder on a bracelet. If the bracelet costs $17.00, how much money did she have at first.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:she had $63.75 at first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money that she had at first.

kathy spent 3 fifths of her money on a necklace. This means that the amount of money that she spent on the necklace is

3/5 × x = 3x/5

The amount of money remaining would be

x - 3x/5 = 2x/5

She used 2 thirds of the remainder on a bracelet. This means that the amount of money that she spent on the bracelet is 2/3 × 2x/5 = 4x/15

If the bracelet costs $17.00, then

4x/15 = 17

4x = 15 × 17

4x = 255

x = 225/4

x = 63.75

Create a graph of the combined function h(x) = f(x)/ g(x) in which f(x) = x - 6 and g(x) = x + 6.On your graph, show the graphs of f(x) and g(x) also.

Answers

Answer:

In the picture attached the graph of h(x) = f(x)/ g(x) = (x - 6)/(x + 6) is shown. Notice that there is no h(x) for x = -6. The graph was made with a computer software

f(x) = x - 6 and g(x) = x + 6 are also included. These two functions are continuous for all real numbers, despite that h(x) is not continuous in x = -6

Step 1: pick a number step 2: double it
step 3: add 5
step 4: multiply by 50
step 5: if you've had your birthday this year ,add 1764,or,if you've not yet had your birthday this year ,add 1763
step 6: subtract the year of your birth
you should end up with a number which is a combination of the number you started with followed with your age. for example ,if you are 12 and you start with the number 27, the result should be 2712.
your task :
1. let n represent the number in step 1 and show what happens through step 6.
2. explain why the result is always the original number followed by your age. What would be the expression I would use?

Answers

if I pick n, it becomes 50(2n+5)+1764-2001 this is the expression
