Q#1: Amanda and Lisa are playing games at the arcade. Amanda started with $15, and the machine she is playing costs $0.75 per game. Lisa started with $13, and her machine costs $0.50 per game. After how many games will the two girls have the same amount of money remaining? Q#2:The Lone Star Shipping Company charges $14 plus $2 a pound to ship an overnight package. Discount Shipping Company charges $20 plus $1.50 a pound to ship an overnight package. For what weight is the charge the same for the two companies?

For question one its 8

Step-by-step explanation: Let A be the variable for Amanda! The amount of money she has for x amount of time. We know that lisa has $13 and she is spending .50 every game. The equation for this would be L=13-0.5x. SO to solve this problem of when they both will have the same amount of money use the equation. 15- 0.75x=13 - 0.5x then you will switch the equation around. So the next step would look like 15-13= -0.5x + 0.75x! Then you'll get 2=0.25x change that to a fraction and you'll get 1/4 and 8=x!

Im so sorry if this is confusing!

step-by-step explanation:

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
