The table below lists two colleges along with the average yearly tuition for each school. Ally will attend one of these schools after she graduates from high school in 24 months. To pay her college tuition, her grandparents plan to save $400 each month for the next 24 months. If Ally decides to attend Texas Tech University, about how much more does she need to save each month to help her parents pay for one year's tuition?

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.

answer: 88

step-by-step explanation:

hi i’m going tomorrow morning and i can come over and you out with this stuff for me haha ya day is going crazy and i’ll tell you what i’m talking about you don’t wanna go do you think i’m going to be a good friend i just don’t know how much you mean about the stuff you want to do and stuff you know i just want you and you know that i’m going crazy i don’t think i’m going crazy about going tomorrow and i’ll tell ya hey i don’t think i’m going crazy about going tomorrow and i’ll tell you what i’m done

here is me explaining it:

the pizza would be delivered around 5, give or take 15 minutes. this means it could be delivered anywhere from 4: 45 to 5: 15

let's say 5: 00 is equivalent to 0 on a number line and x represents time. 4: 45 would be equal to -15x because we are 15 minutes behind our starting point, 5: 00. 5: 15 would be equal to 15x because we are 15 minutes ahead of your starting point (which means you're late on the pizza delivery! )

absolute value is very confusing. the basic definition is how far you are from your starting point. if we deliver the pizza at 4: 45 (15 minutes before the starting point) we would be -15. this means we are 15 away from our starting point, 5: 00. that's the absolute value. |-15| (absolute value of negative fifteen) is equal to 15. if you did not understand this i suggest rereading this paragraph.

the normal way you would write this scenario would be 4.75 (4 and 3 quarters, or 4: 45. you can also write as a fraction.) is less than x and x is less than 5.25 (5 and 1 quarter or 5: 15). 4.75< x< 5.25 the reason why i am using numbers is because you cannot represent typical time as values on a graph, number line, or in an equation.

another way to write this scenario is with absolute value. we can write this as |x| being less than or equal to .25 (remember, this just means 15 minutes).           |x| ≤ .25.

sorry if the end was confusing. because we are talking about time this whole question is 10x harder. like i said earlier, you cannot represent time as, well, time, in a graph, equation, or number line. i set the values as follows: 1/4 or .25 for 15 minutes, and 1 for 1 hour. this is just a common way to set up graphs involving time.

|x| ≤ .25

i hope this ! : )
