Let x be the number of months.
The first plan is 15 dollars sign up fee and 38 dollars per month. So the equation is 38x + 15.
The second plan is 78 dollars as sign up fee and 31 dollars per month. So the equation is 31x + 78.
We need find when x has the same value in both equations, so we do their equality:
38x + 15 = 31x + 78
Let's subtract 15 from both sides
38x + 15 = 31x + 78
38x + 15 - 15 = 31x + 78 - 15
38x = 31x + 63
Now let's subtract 31x from both sides to have the variables on a side and the numbers on side:
38x = 31x + 63
38x - 31x = 31x - 31x + 63
7x = 63
Divide both sides by 7 to have the variable x on a side and its value on the other:
(7x)/7 = 63/7
x = 9
So at month 9, the 2 plans will cost the same.
Let's check our answers, and let y be the cost:
y = 38x + 15 = 38*9 + 15 = 357
y = 31x + 78 = 31*9 + 78 = 357
Our answer has been approved.
Hope this helps! :D
It would be f(t)= 25^t+1
If you plugged in '2' as 't',
25^2+1= 15, 625 which uses the second day of the bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:
The happiest used in a test in statistics are the null and the alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis is usually the default statement while the alternative hypothesis is thevopposite of the null hypothesis.
In this case study, the null hypothesis is u1 = u2: the average mean time it takes to accelerate to 30 miles per hour for car 1 is the same as that for car 2.
The alternative hypothesis is u1 > u2: the mean time it takes to accelerate to 30 miles per hour is greater than that for car 2 thus car 1 is slower to accelerate as it takes more time.
To use the elimination method, you have to create variables that have the same coefficient, then you can eliminate them.
