Briyana has $150, and she needs to save at least $560 for a spring break trip. If she can save $45 per week, how long will it take her to save enough money? Let w= weeks saving money. Wrote an inequality to describe the situation.

Let's work this out using the inequality it suggests.

We can use the form , but have the equals sign substitute out for whatever sign we need.

When you need to buy something, do you need to have more, less, or the same amount of money to buy something?

You need to have at least the same amount of money.

Which means that we'll be using the ≥ sign.

Now let's substitute in some values we know.

She has 150 to start off with, think of this as the y-intercept of the graph.

What variable represents the y-intercept?

You should've said b.

Now how much is she saving her week? $45.

Since this is how much she's saving every week, this represents the slope.

Now, we can solve this plugging in 560 for , which is how much money she needs.

is 9.111 (repeating), but we need to round up to the nearest whole number because she probably doesn't deposit money constantly during the week, and rather all at once.

Which means that she needs to save money for 10 weeks to have enough money for the spring break trip.

Hope this helps.

頑張って!

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.

you,

mrb

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
