HELP ME PLZZZ

Answer 1

This is just like the other one, your equation is going to be 94x (94 dollars a week being paid) = 850(total amount to pay off).

What are your choices?

Answer 2

IS IT After 5 weeks, Randall is $125 in debt.

Answer 3

Let's find out.

Use the equation.

94x = 850

Plug in 5 weeks:(x = 5)

94(5) = 850

470 = 850

850 - 470 = 380.

No, Randall will be $380 in debt.

Answer 4

U WRONG THERE'S NO 380 IN THE ANSWER CHOICE

Answer 5

No, I'm not wrong. Just post your answer choices and I'll tell you which one it is.

Answer 6

After 5 weeks, Randall is $125 in debt.

After 6 weeks, Randall is $175 in debt.

After 7 weeks, Randall is $225 in debt.

After 8 weeks, Randall is $75 in debt.

Answer 7

Okay, let's find out 6 weeks:

Use the equation 94x = 850:

94x = 850

Plug in 6 weeks:

94(6) = 850

Multiply:

564 = 850

Subtract:

850 - 564 = 286.

So Option B is incorrect because he will be $286 in debt and not $175

Answer 8

Let's find out 7 weeks:

94x = 850

Plug in 7 weeks:

94(7) = 850

Multiply:

658 = 850

Subtract:

850 - 658 = 192.

So Option C is incorrect because Randall will be $192 in debt and not $225.

Answer 9

Let's find 8 weeks:

94x = 850

Plug in 8 weeks:

94(8) = 850

Multiply:

752 = 850

Subtract:

850 - 752 = $98.

Answer 10

Ugh, I'm confused all of the Option seem incorrect. @ganeshie8

Answer 11

:/ IKR

@iGreen

Answer 12

Let's hope @ganeshie8 can figure this out for us.

Answer 13

say his remaining balance is \(\large B\)

Answer 14

since he is paying *atleast* $94 each week, we get :
\[\large B \le 850-94x\]

Answer 15

after x=5 weeks, his outstanding balance will be :
\[\large B \le 850-94*5\]
\[\large B \le 370\]

Answer 16

so first option
After 5 weeks, Randall is $125 in debt.

is not your answer. similarly check other options

Answer 17

How is it not the answer? It says less than or equal to 370..doesn't that include 125?

Answer 18

since 125 is less than 370, this is possible...

but the question is about whats NOT possible, right ?

Answer 19

@iGreen giving me wrong answer wrong explANATION I'M GIVING MEDALS FOR NO REASON

Answer 20

lol no, this is a trick question

Answer 21

the equation is correct, just check that the given balance in the option is less than the balance given by equaiton

Answer 22

Oh, yeah it says which one is NOT a possible scenario.

Answer 23

nOT ONLY THAT HE HELPED ME WITH A LOT OF QUESTION THE ANSWERS HE GAVE ARE WRONG AND I NEED MY GRADE UP SO I CAN GRADUATE NOT DOWN SMH
