Tavon has a gift card for $95 that loses $2 for each 30-day period it is not used. He has another gift card for $75 that loses $1.50 for each 30-day period it is not used. Write and solve an equation for the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal.

the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = each 30-day period

Tavon has a gift card for $95 that loses $2 for each 30-day period it is not used.

95 - 2x

He has another gift card for $75 that loses $1.50 for each 30-day period it is not used

75 - 1.50x

Equate both expression for the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal.

95 - 2x = 75 - 1.50x

95 - 75 = -1.50x + 2x

20 = 0.50x

x = 20/0.50

= 40

x = 40

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
