Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down the two questions shown in the image.
Question 7: System of Linear Equations
- Siblings' savings:
- Sibling A's savings:
- Sibling B's savings:
We are asked to determine when their savings will be the same (i.e., when the two equations intersect). To find this, set the equations equal to each other:
Now, solve for :
Thus, after 5 weeks, both siblings will have the same amount of money.
Correct answer: 5 weeks
Question 8: Rotation of Coordinates
The triangle has vertices at:
We need to rotate the triangle 90° counterclockwise and determine the new coordinates.
A 90° counterclockwise rotation rule is:
- becomes
Apply this rotation to each vertex:
- becomes
- becomes
- becomes
So the new coordinates are:
Correct answer: Option 2:
