The ratio of money in Terry's bank account to Faye's bank account was 3:5. Terry then put £220 in his account and Faye withdrew £300 from her account.
They now had the same amount in their accounts.
How much did Terry initially have?

Terry had £780 initially and Faye had £1300

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

We'll call the following variables:

x = Terry's balance in his bank account

y = Faye's balance in her bank account

The initial relation between them is:

Cross-multiplying:

5x = 3y        [1]

If Terry put £220 in his account he had x+220 and if Faye withdrew £300 from her account, she had y-300. Both quantities are equal, thus

x + 220 = y - 300

Subtracting 220:

x = y - 520         [2]

Substituting in [1]

5(y - 520) = 3y

Multiplying:

5y - 2600 = 3y

Adding 2600 and subtracting 3y:

2y = 2600

Dividing by 2:

y = 1300

From [2]:

x = 1300 - 520

x = 780

Terry had £780 initially and Faye had £1300

answer: no

step-by-step explanation:

you are only given the cost not the amount of pounds.

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!
