Seth’s bank charges $5 a month to maintain a checking account and $0.50 for each check Seth writes. Last month, Seth paid a total of $6.50 in checking account fees. How many checks did he write? A 1 C 3

B 2 D 4

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Seth pays $0.50 for each check he writes, he would write (let x be how many checks Seth wrote) "x" checks for $6.50. That means;

1 = 0.50

x = 6.50

Now let us set up a fraction:

Step 1: Cross multiply

Step 2: Divide both sides by

Simplify

Therefore, Seth will write 13 checks for $6.50

ou would have 12 of each

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
