Solve the word problem below using the steps given in the lesson. Skylar needs $56 to buy a new video game. If he doubles the amount of money he has now, he will have enough to buy the game with $8 left over. How much money does Skylar have right now? Thank you if you can help.

The amount of money Skylar has now is $32

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we want to find the amount of money Skylar has presently.

Let the amount of money he has presently be $x

Now by doubling this amount, he will have enough money to buy the video game and still be left with a balance of $8

So let’s double the amount of money he has;

$x * 2 = $2x

let’s subtract the amount for the video game so he would be left with the $8

Mathematically;

2x -8 = 56

Collect like terms

2x = 56 + 8

2x = 64

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 64/2

x = 32

The amount of money Skylar has now is $32

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.
