Let
 x = number of minutes of local calls.
 y = number of minutes of international calls.
 By writing the system of equations we have:
 0.06x + 0.15y = 69.84
 x + y = 852
 Solving the system
 Clear y from equation two
 y = 852-x
 Replace y in equation 1
 0.06x + 0.15 (852-x) = 69.84
 Clear x
 0.06x + 127.8 - 0.15x = 69.84
 127.8 - 69.84 = 0.15x -0.06x
 57.96 = 0.09x
 x = 57.96 / 0.09 = 644
 x = 644
 Replace x in any of the two equations and clear y:
 x + y = 852
 y = 852-644
 y = 208
 answer
 number of minutes of local calls = 644
 number of minutes of international calls = 208

What is:<br> k–66≤ – 84<br> in one-step inequalities?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

k\le \:-18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add 66 to both sides so then the equation you are trying to solve will be: k-66+66\le \:-84+66

Finally, you simplify and get: k\le \:-18

If a single card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck, what is the probability that it is an ace or a spade?
klasskru [66]

A 52-card deck is made up of an equal number of diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs. Because there are 4 suits, there is a 1/4 chance to draw one of them, in our case, spades.

There are 4 aces in a 52-card deck, so the chance of drawing one is 4/52, or 1/13.

The question asks for the probability of drawing an ace or a spade. Because it uses the word "or," we add the probabilities together. This is because there is a chance of drawing either of the cards; it doesn't have to meet both requirements to satisfy the statement.

However, if the question were to say "and," we would multiply the two probabilities.

Let's add 1/4 and 1/13. First, we can find a common denominator. We can use 52 because both fractions can multiply into it (since the ratio came from a deck of 52 cards as well).

\frac{1}{4} -- > \frac{13}{52}

\frac{1}{13} -- > \frac{4}{52}

Now we can add them together.

\frac{13}{52} + \frac{4}{52} = \frac{13+4}{52} = \frac{17}{52}

This cannot be simplified further, so the probability is 17 in 52, or 33%.

hope this helps!
