Answer:
Plan A is $3 cheaper can Plan B.
Step-by-step explanation:
first equation: 1.5t+9
second equation: .50t+38
Then substiute the 26 for x. So you get 48 for Plan A and 51 for Plan B. Then subtract so you can get 3, for Plan A is three dollars cheaper than Plan B.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
11
Discussion:
Let "n" be the smaller number. Then
n * (n+5) = 176.
My first reaction to this problem was to factor 176 in my head. That's 176 = 16 * 11 and 16 is 5 more than 11. So that's the solution!.... Now let's solve it using the brute force approach:
n(n+5) = 176 =>
n^2 + 5n - 176 = 0 => use the quadratic formula
n = ( -5 +\- sqrt( 5^2 - 4(1)(-176)) ) /2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt( 25 + 704) )/ 2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt (729) ) /2 => as sqrt(729) = 27
= (-5 +\- 27) / 2 =>
= (-5 + 27)/2 or ( -5 -27)/2 =>
= 22/2 or -32/2 =>
= 11 or -16
But -16 is not allowed as the question wants a positive value.
Thank you,

Answer:
The value of x is 200 in the equation 1/5x - 2/3y = 30, when y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
equation: x - 2/3y = 30
when y = 15
<em>Plug in y:</em>
1/5x - 2/3(15) = 30
1/5x - 10 = 30
<em>add</em> 10 to both sides,
1/5x - 10 + 10 = 30 + 10
1/5x = 40
<em>multiply</em> both sides by 5
1/5x * 5= 40 * 5
x = 200
