Answer:

36 erasers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of erasers be e

let number of rulers be r

We can write:

e + r = 70

and

After giving away, he has

Erasers:  2/3e

Rulers:  r - 10

These two are equal, so we can write and solve:

2/3e = r - 10

2/3e + 10 = r

Putting this in initial equation, we have:

e + (2/3e + 10) = 70

5/3e + 10 = 70

5/3 e = 60

e = 36

And rulers is:

r = 2/3(36) + 10 = 34

Hence, he had 36 erasers in the beginning

PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP The function graphed approximates the height of a rock, in meters, x seconds after it falls from a cliff
nasty-shy [4]

The vertical numbers are the distance and the horizontal numbers are the time in seconds.

Look at where the line is located at the number 20.

It si between the 2 and the 3 on the horizontal line, but you can see it is closer to the 2 than it is the 3, so the time would be 2.2s

Worth 80 points!! It's alot for me to understand and i wanna get it right someone help?
Mandarinka [93]

Add all the new budget amounts:

510 + 254 + 295 + 51 + 0 + 100 + 100+ 0 + 100 = 1410


Her monthly total is 1410, which is less than her income of 1700

1700 - 1410 = 290

She has $290 extra each month.

So she can divide that amount by 2 to put an equal amount in each blank category, or add what ever amount less than that into each one.
