Make an algebraic expression for each plan.
For an instance, x represents the number of movies, and y represents the number of months
⇒ The expression for the digital movie plan is 3x
⇒ The expression for the DVD plan is 10y + 0.5x
A person rents movies in a month (that means the value of y equals 1), the expression of the DVD plan would be 10(1) + 0.5x = 10 + 0.5x
Find the value of x when the cost of both plan are the same
The two options will cost the same when the expression for digital movie is equal to the expression for DVD
the digital movie plan = the DVD plan
3x = 10 + 0.5x
Solve for x
3x - 0.5x = 10
2.5x = 10
x = 10/2.5
x = 4
The two options will cost the same, if the person rents 4 movies
Answer:
$0.15
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 of a can = 0.25 cans
4 ÷ 0.25 = 16
if 0.25 cans is 1/16 of 4, then the price of 0.25 cans would be 1/16 of $2.40
2.40 ÷ 16 = $0.15
Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x=-10+13 - -3x=3 - -3 = -1
Answer:
The carpenter used 2 7/4 feet of plank for the shelf
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of plank =10 1/2 foot
He used
For Deck board=4 1/4 feet
Step=3 2/3 feet
Shelf=x feet
Total plank=deck board + step + shelf
10 1/2 = 4 1/4 + 3 2/3 + x
Change the fractions
21/2 = 17/4 + 11/3 + x
Add 17/4 + 11/3
21/2 =51+44/12 + x
21/2= 95/12 + x
Collect like terms
21/2 - 95/12 =x
126-95/12 = x
31/12=x
2 7/12 =x
Therefore, the carpenter used 2 7/4 feet of plank for the shelf
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of plank =10 1/2 foot

For Deck board=4 1/4
Step=3 2/3
Shelf=x
Total plank=deck board + step + shelf
10 1/2 = 4 1/4 + 3 2/3 + x
