Using linear equations, we determined that:

1. Company A charges less per month

2. After <u>10 months</u> of service, the total costs are the same.

<h3>How to Write Linear Equations?</h3>

We are given that:

  • Number of months is represented as x
  • Total cost is represented as y

Total cost for Company B is represented as y = 45x + 50.

Company B charges $45 per month.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, to represent the total cost y (in dollars) for x months of service at Company A. From the table given, using two pairs of values, (2, 180) and (3, 220), find the slope (m).

Slope (m) = change in y/change in x = (220 - 180)/(3 - 2)

Slope (m) = 40

Company A charges $40 per month.

Plug in m = 40 and (x, y) = (2, 180) into y = mx + b, to find the y-intercept, b:

180 = 40(2) + b

180 - 80 = b

b = 100

Substitute m = 40 and b = 100 into y = mx + b:

y = 40x + 100 (equation for Company A)

Make both equations equal to find the value of x, which is the number of months of service that will make the total costs of both company the same.

45x + 50 = 40x + 100

45x - 40x = -50 + 100

5x = 50

x = 10

Therefore, number of months would be 10.

In summary, using linear equations, we determined that:

1. Company A charges less per month

2. After <u>10 months</u> of service, the total costs are the same.

Which of the following equations is equivalent to 2 + x + 2x = 14? A 4X E 14 B 3x = 12 C 3x = 16 D 1x = 12​
Alex_Xolod [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + x + 2x = 14

3x + 2 = 14 (combine like terms)

3x = 12 (subtract 2 from both sides)

Hence the answer is 3x = 12. (B)

There is a carnival. Children are $1.50 and adults are $4. On this particular day there 2200 in attendance and the total amount
Verizon [17]

Answer:

On that day <u>1500 children</u> and <u>700 adults</u> attended.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There is a carnival. Children are $1.50 and adults are $4.

The total amount of money raised was $5050.

On this particular day there 2200 in attendance.

Now, to find the children and adults attended on that day.

Let the children attended be x.

And the adults attended be y.

The total number in attendance:

x+y=2200

⇒ x=2200-y........( 1 ).

Now, the total amount of money raised:

1.50x+4y=5050

Putting the equation ( 1 ) in the place of x we get:

⇒ 1.50(2200-y)+4y=5050

⇒ 3300-1.50y+4y=5050

⇒ 3300+2.50y=5050  

<em>Subtracting both sides by 3300 we get:</em>

⇒ 2.50y=1750

<em>Dividing both sides by 2.50 we get:</em>

⇒ y=700.

The adults attended = 700.

Now, putting the value of y in equation ( 1 ) we get:

x=2200-700

⇒ x=1500.

The children attended = 1500.

Therefore, on that day 1500 children and 700 adults attended.
