I believe that X would be -2.47619.
First you distribute the -1 in front of the parenthesis. Then distribute the 8 outside of the bracts. And finally just solve for X by combing like terms.
Two options are given to Tina. We find how much she pays for each option, and the one in which she pays less offers the better value.
Tina sends 12 text messages each day in June
June has 30 days, so in June, Tina sent 12*30 = 360 text messages.
Package A:
First 100 messages cost 3p, the next 100 cost $2 and after that each costs $1.
She sends 360 messages, with:
The first 100 costing 3p.
The next 100 costing 2p.
The final 360 - 200 = 160 costing 1p.
She pays:

Package B:
2p for each message, 360 messages, so:
360*2p = 720p.
Which package is better?
Package A costs less, thus, it offers her the better value for money in 30 days.
Another example of a problem in which a person has to choose between two packages is given in brainly.com/question/10693932
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
slopes and equations:
find the equation thur ( 6,1 ) and (-2,-3)
find the slope m
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1 )
m = (-3 - 1) / (-2 -6)
m = -4 / -8
m = 1/2
now use the point-slope formula with our known slope
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-1 = 1/2(x-6)
y - 1 = 1/2x -3
y = 1/2x -3 +1
y =
x -2
Find the equation parallel to y = 3x + 6 and thur (0,1)
Parallel means the same slope, the slope is 3 for the equation above.
use the slope-intercept formula again with the point given and the slope 3
y-1 = 3(x -0)
y - 1 = 3x
y = 3x +1
Find the equations perpendicular to 2x + y = 8 and the same y intercept as 4y = x + 3.
put both equations into proper form
y = -2x +6
y =
x + 
perpendicular means reciprocal slope and change the sign, the 2nd equation has an intercept of
, so
y = 1/2x + 
there you go Amanda :)
