8th grade solving systems hi i wanna fully understand this, so your help will be very much appreciated <3

you and your friend are collecting seashells on the beach. you collect 22 more seashells than your friend collects. together, you and your friend have 88 seashells. write a system of linear equations that represents this situation. how many seashells do each of you collect?

(x+22) + x = 88

Step-by-step explanation:

if x is how much your friend collected, then how much you collected would be x + 22 because you collected 22 more then her. and if you add both of those together to get how much you collected together (the total) you get 88. so x (your friends sea shells) plus x+22 (your sea shells) is 88. tell me if you also need help solving the actual equation

you have x+22 + x = 88

you combine like terms, in this case the Xs

and you get 2x + 22 = 88

then you subtract 22 to both sides because you want to get x alone

and you get 2x = 88 - 22

which is 2x = 66

then you divide by 2 on both sides

and you get x = 66/2

and you get x = 33

i dont know the answer but here's a picture of a dog

soo this can be solve by using the formula:

f = p( 1 + i)^ n

where f is the future profit

p is the initial profit

i is the percent increase

n is the number of years

a . f = 30000 ( 1.05)^n

b. f = 30000 ( 1.05)^15

f = $62,368
