Pedro and John are going on a field trip with school. Together the boys have $62 to spend on the trip. If Pedro has $15 more than John, how much money does John have? Write a function rule (equation) that represents the situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

we are told that their joint amount is $62

let John's amount be x

and Pedro's amount be y

so that y=x+15

Step two:

The equation to represent the situation is

62=x+(x+15)

open the bracket and solve for x we have

62=x+x+15

62=2x+15

2x=62-15

2x=47

divide both sides by 2

x=47/2

x=23.5

John has $23.5

answer is c

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
