Two runners are saving money to attend a marathon. The first runner has $112 in savings, received a $45 gift from a friend, and

will save $25 each month. The second runner has $50 in savings and will save $60 each month.
Which equation can be used to find m, the number of months it will take for both accounts to have the same amount of money?

112 – 25m + 45 = 50 – 60m
112 + 25 + 45m = 50m + 60
112 + 25 – 45m = –50m + 60
112 + 25m + 45 = 50 + 60m

Response:

The accurate answer is the last choice, specifically 112 + 25m + 45 = 50 + 60m

Detailed explanation:

The initial runner has $112 saved, received a $45 gift from a friend, and intends to save $25 monthly. Consequently, after m months, this first runner's account balance will total: 112+45+25m

The second runner starts with $50 and will put away $60 each month. Therefore, the second runner's account total after m months works out to: 50 + 60m

To find at what point both account totals align, the equation established is:

112+45+25m=50+60m

By applying the commutative property to the left side, we obtain:

112+25m+45=50+60m

Thus, it is evident that the last option is the correct response.

The correct choice is D. You must not subtract, and ensure M is positioned after 25. Hope this clarifies!

Answer:

The first fraction comes between 27 and 28, leaning towards 28. The second fraction lies between 3 and 4, leaning towards 4. Compatible numbers in division consist of figures that are simple to calculate mentally. 28 divided by 4 results in 7. The estimated quotient will be approximately 7.

Two functions are shown in the table below. Function 1 2 3 4 5 6 f(x) = −x2 + 4x + 12 g(x) = −x + 6 Complete the table on your o
Svet_ta [12734]

For \fbox{\begin \\\math{x}=6\\\end{minispace}} the function f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12 and g(x)=-x+6 both yield the same result.

Detailed breakdown:  

The functions involved are

f(x)=-x^{2}+4x+12

g(x)=-x+6

Step 1:  

Insert x=1 in f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12 to find the value of f(1).

f(1)=-1^{2} +4(1)+12\\f(1)=-1+4+12\\f(1)=15

Insert x=1 in g(x)=-x+6 to find the value of g(1).

g(1)=-1+6\\g(1)=5

Step 2:

Insert x=2 in f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12 to obtain the value of f(2).

f(2)=-2^{2} +4(2)+12\\f(2)=-4+8+12\\f(2)=16

Substitute x=2 into g(x)=-x+6 to find the value of g(2).

g(2)=-2+6\\g(2)=4

Step 3:

Replace x=3 in f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12 to find the value of f(3).

f(3)=-3^{2} +4(3)+12\\f(3)=-9+12+12\\f(3)=15

Also, replace x=3 in g(x)=-x+6 to find the value of g(3).

g(3)=-3+6\\g(3)=3

Step 4:

Insert x=4 in f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12 to find the value of f(4).

f(4)=-4^{2} +4(4)+12\\f(4)=-16+16+12\\f(4)=12

Also, replace x=4 in g(x)=-x+6 to obtain the value of g(4).

g(4)=-4+6\\g(4)=2

Step 5:

Insert x=5 in f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12 to obtain the value of f(5).

f(5)=-5^{2} +4(5)+12\\f(5)=-25+20+12\\f(5)=7

Replace x=5 in g(x)=-x+6 to find the value of g(5).

g(5)=-5+6\\g(5)=1

Step 6:

Insert x=6 into f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12 to find the value of f(6).

f(6)=-6^{2} +4(6)+12\\f(6)=-36+24+12\\f(6)=0

Also, substitute x=6 in g(x)=-x+6 to obtain the value of g(6).

g(6)=-6+6\\g(6)=0

Step 7:

According to the provided condition f(x)=g(x).

(a). Insert f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12 and g(x)=-x+6 into the previously mentioned equation.

-x^{2} +4x+12=-x+6

(b). Multiply through by -1 on both sides.

x^{2} -4x-12=x-6

(c). Move the term x-6 to the left side of the equation.

x^{2} -4x-12-x+6=0\\x^{2} -5x-6=0

(d). Divide the middle term so that its sum equals 5 and the product equals 6.

x^{2} -(6-1)x-6=0\\x^{2} -6x+x-6=0\\x(x-6)+1(x-6)=0\\(x+1)(x-6)=0\\x=-1,6

From the analysis above, it is noted that for x=6 both functions f(x) and g(x) yield the same outcome.

Using a direct approach:

f(x)=g(x)\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +4x+12=-x+6\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +4x+12+x-6=0\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +5x+6=0\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +6x-x+6=0\\\Leftrightarrow x^{2} -6x+x-6=0\\\Leftrightarrow x(x-6)+1(x-6)=0\\\Leftrightarrow(x+1)(x-6)=0\\\Leftrightarrow x=6,-1

The table representing function f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12 and g(x)=-x+6 is included below.

For more information:

1. What is the y-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) = (x – 6)(x – 2)? (0,–6) (0,12) (–8,0) (2,0)

2. Which is the graph of f(x) = (x – 1)(x + 4)?

The simplified expression is 10m + 20.5, where m stands for the total number of months. Initially, we can express her expenses as follows: 8.5 + 62.5m and 12 + 3.75m. Adding these two expressions together yields a combined equation of: 10m + 20.5.

Farmer Alex has 32 llamas each of whom needs 10000 square feet of grazing area. He wants to enclose a rectangular pen along a st
tester [12383]
Take note of the image below

the riverbank requires no fencing due to the river's presence
so the pen's perimeter can be calculated as 2w + l, or w + w + l
thus   \bf \textit{area of a rectangle}\\\\
A=lw\qquad A=10000\implies 10000=lw\implies \cfrac{10000}{w}=\boxed{l}
\\\\\\
\textit{perimeter of enclosed pen}\\\\
P=2w+l\implies P(w)=2w+\boxed{\cfrac{10000}{w}}

derive P(w), set it to zero, locate any critical points, and perform a first-derivative test for minimum values.
