Q:

Seiji and Gavin both worked hard over the summer. Together they earned a total of $525. Gavin earned $25 more than Seiji. Write a system of equations for the situation. Use s for the amount Seiji earned and g for the amount Gavin earned. Graph the equations of the system on the graph provided on the next page. Note: Insert->Shape will allow you to add lines, draw dots, and otherwise insert shapes in both Microsoft Word and LibreOffice. The graph should be big enough for you to easily plot points using this method. If you do not want to graph using the drawing tools built into Microsoft Word or LibreOffice you may also print out, graph by hand, and scan the page. Please note it’s perfectly okay to upload multiple files. Use your graph to estimate how much each person earned, and explain your results.THERE ARE THREE PARTS TO THIS PLEASE ANSWER ALL 3 100% CORRECTLY AND SHOW YOUR WORK IF NOT YOU WILL BE REPORTED

Accepted Solution

A:
Each person earned 200$ each because since the total was 525) and Gavin warned 25$ MORE THAN seiji, it’s explaining that you need to first multiply your total, then divide that of your remaining. Once you get your remaining you’re going to then (again) multiply your total WITH the 25$ and that’s how you get your answer. I hope this helps
