Tim and Tom are trying to earn money to buy a new game system over a 3-month period. Tim saved $45.69 each month. If they need a total of $214.53 to buy the game system, how much does Tom need to earn each of the 3 months in order to buy the game system? A.25.82
B.103.07
C.77.46
D.168.84

A. 25.82

Step-by-step explanation:

(3*Tim)+(3*tom)=214.53

(3*45.69)+(3*tom)=214.53

137.07+(3*tom)=214.53

-137.07+(3*tom)=214.53-137.07

3*tom=77.46

tom/3=77.46/3

tom=25.82

i don't even know man. edge inuity be messing with us. i had to ask a question too.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
