Colin starts with $8.50 in his bank account and saves $15.75 each week. James starts with $7.50 in his bank account and saves $15.75 each week. Will the two boys ever have the same amount in their savings accounts?

They will never have the same value on their savings accounts.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case since Colin and James started with different values on their accounts and they save money at the same rate, they'll never have the same amount. This can be show in a mathematical form. For that we will express the money on their account through an equation, where "x" is the amount of money they have and "t" is the number of weeks that pass by.

For Colin we have:

x = 8.5 + 15.75*t

For James we have:

x = 7.5 + 15.75*t

In order for them to have the same money, the equations must be equal, so:

8.5 + 15.75*t = 7.5 + 15.75*t

15.75*t - 15.75*t = 7.5 - 8.5

0 = -1.5

Which is not a valid equation and therefore they'll never have the same savings on their accounts.

damm bro the struggle

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
