Barney has $450 and spends $3 each week. Betty has $120 and saves $8 each week. How many weeks will it take for them to have the same amount of money? Let w be the number of weeks that go by for saving/spending. Set up Barney's balance equation, B(w). Spending means we [U]subtract[/U] B(w) = Initial Amount - spend per week * w weeks B(w) = 450 - 3w Set up Betty's balance equation, B(w). Saving means we [U]add[/U] B(w) = Initial Amount + savings per week * w weeks B(w) = 120 + 8w The same amount of money means both of their balance equations B(w) are equal. So we set Barney's balance equal to Betty's balance and solve for w: 450 - 3w = 120 + 8w Add 3w to each side to isolate w: 450 - 3w + 3w = 120 + 8w + 3w Cancelling the 3w on the left side, we get: 450 = 120 + 11w Rewrite to have constant on the right side: 11w + 120 = 450 Subtract 120 from each side: 11w + 120 - 120 = 450 - 120 Cancelling the 120's on the left side, we get: 11w = 330 To solve for w, we divide each side by 11 11w/11 = 330/11 Cancelling the 11's on the left side, we get: w = [B]30 [MEDIA=youtube]ifG_q-utgJI[/MEDIA][/B]

DeAndre is a spelunker (someone who explores caves). One day DeAndre is exploring a cave that has a series of ladders going down into the depths. Every ladder is exactly 10 feet tall, and there is no other way to descend or ascend (the other paths in the cave are flat). DeAndre starts at 186 feet in altitude, and reaches a maximum depth of 86 feet in altitude.Write an equation for DeAndre's altitude, using x to represent the number of ladders DeAndre used (hint: a ladder takes DeAndre down in altitude, so the coefficient should be negative). Set up a function A(x) for altitude, where x is the number of ladders used. Each ladder takes DeAndre down 10 feet, so this would be -10x. And DeAndre starts at 186 feet, so we'd have: [B]A(x) = 186 - 10x[/B]

Lindsey took a total of 8 quizzes over the course of 2 weeks. After attending 5 weeks of school this quarter, how many quizzes will Lindsey have taken in total? Assume the relationship is directly proportional. Since the relationship is directly proportional, set up a proportion of quizzes to weeks, where q is the number of quizzes Lindsey will take in 5 weeks: 8/2 = q/5 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/prop.php?num1=8&num2=q&den1=2&den2=5&propsign=%3D&pl=Calculate+missing+proportion+value']We type this proportion into our search engine[/URL], and we get: [B]q = 20 [/B] Another way to look at this is, Lindsey takes 8 quizzes over 2 weeks. This means she takes 4 per week since 8/2 = 4. So if she takes 4 quizzes per week, then in 5 weeks, she takes 4*5 = 20 quizzes.

Oscar makes a large purchase at Home Depot and plans to rent one of its trucks to take his supplies home. The most he wants to spend on the truck is $56.00. If Home Depot charges $17.00 for the first 75 minutes and $5.00 for each additional 15 min, for how long can Oscar keep the truck and remain within his budget? Set up the cost equation C(m) where m is the number of minutes for rental: C(m) = 17 * min(m, 75) + max(0, 5(m - 75)) If Oscar uses the first 75 minutes, he spends $17. So he's left with: $56 - $17 = $38 $38 / $5 = 7 Remainder 3 We remove the remainder 3, since it's not a full 15 minute block.

Use proof by contradiction. Assume sqrt(2) is rational. This means that sqrt(2) = p/q for some integers p and q, with q <>0. We assume p and q are in lowest terms. Square both side and we get: 2 = p^2/q^2 p^2 = 2q^2 This means p^2 must be an even number which means p is also even since the square of an odd number is odd. So we have p = 2k for some integer k. From this, it follows that: 2q^2 = p^2 = (2k)^2 = 4k^2 2q^2 = 4k^2 q^2 = 2k^2 q^2 is also even, therefore q must be even. So both p and q are even. This contradicts are assumption that p and q were in lowest terms. So sqrt(2) [B]cannot be rational. [MEDIA=youtube]tXoo9-8Ewq8[/MEDIA][/B]

Take two integers, r and s. We can write r as a/b for integers a and b since a rational number can be written as a quotient of integers We can write s as c/d for integers c and d since a rational number can be written as a quotient of integers Add r and s: r + s = a/b + c/d With a common denominator bd, we have: r + s = (ad + bc)/bd Because a, b, c, and d are integers, ad + bc is an integer since rational numbers are closed under addition and multiplication. Since b and d are non-zero integers, bd is a non-zero integer. Since we have the quotient of 2 integers, r + s is a rational number. [MEDIA=youtube]0ugZSICt_bQ[/MEDIA]

Shalini gave 0.4 of her plums to her brother and 20% to her sister. She kept 16 for herself. How many plums did she have first? Let's convert everything to decimals. 20% = 0.2 So Shalini gave 0.4 + 0.2 = 0.6 of the plums away. Which means she has 1 = 0.6 = 0.4 or 40% left over. 40% represents 16 plums So our equation is 0.4p = 16 where p is the number of plums to start with Divide each side by 0.4 [B]p = 40[/B]

The volleyball team and the wrestling team at Clarksville High School are having a joint car wash today, and they are splitting the revenues. The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $81 from past fundraisers. The wrestling team has raised $85 in the past, and they are making $2 per car today. After washing a certain number of cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total. What will that total be? How many cars will that take? Set up the earnings equation for the volleyball team where w is the number of cars washed: E = Price per cars washed * w + past fundraisers E = 4w + 81 Set up the earnings equation for the wrestling team where w is the number of cars washed: E = Price per cars washed * w + past fundraisers E = 2w + 85 If the raised the same amount in total, set both earnings equations equal to each other: 4w + 81 = 2w + 85 Solve for [I]w[/I] in the equation 4w + 81 = 2w + 85 [SIZE=5][B]Step 1: Group variables:[/B][/SIZE] We need to group our variables 4w and 2w.
