E Question Help Challenge The price of Stock A at 9 AM was $16.09. Since then, the price has been increasing at
the rate of $0.12 each hour. At noon the price of Stock B was $16.84. It begins to decrease at the
rate of $0.15 each hour. If the two rates continue, in how many hours will the prices of the two
stocks be the same?

in about ___ hours the prices of the two stocks will be the same?

If only it were that easy.  After 1.44 hours, the price of the two stocks will be the same, 16.62.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the time (in hours) after noon.

Stock(A) = 16.09 + 0.12 (t +3)

Stock(B) = 16.84 - 0.15t

Stock(A) = Stock(B)

16.09 + 0.12 (t+3) = 16.84 - 0.15t

16.09 + 0.12t + 0.36 = 16.84 - 0.15t

0.27t = 0.39

t=1.44 hours

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
