Answer:
you spend 5 hrs. first you have to substract 45 from 120 because it is a default charge. 120-45 = 75. if you divide 75 by 15 you get 5 hrs. because it 15$ per hour.
Our system of equations is:
y = -3x + 9
y = -x - 5
To solve this system of equations, we are going to use substitution. This means that we are going to substitute the second equation into the first equation since both are already solved for y in terms of x.
y = -3x + 9
-x - 5 = -3x + 9
Now, we must simplify by moving all of the constant terms to one side of the equation and all of the variable terms to the other side.
-x - 5 = -3x + 9
2x - 5 = 9
2x = 14
Finally, to undo the multiplication between the coefficient 2 and the variable x, we must divide both sides by 2 to get the variable x alone.
x = 7
Next, we must substitute in this value we have solved for x into one of the original equations to solve for the other variable, y.
y = -3x + 9
y = -3(7) + 9
To simplify, we must multiply through the parentheses and combine like terms by addition.
y = -21 + 9
y = -12
Therefore, your final answer is x = 7 and y = -12, or as an ordered pair (7, -12).

Answer:
0.857 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the information provided we can create the following equations for the total amount Mallory (M) and Aimee (A) will save after x number of weeks...
M = 35 + 15x
A = 5 + 50x
Now we would need to make both of these equations equal one another and solve for x to calculate after how many week both Aimee and Mallory will have saved the same amount of money
35 + 15x = 5 + 50x ... subtract 5 and 15x from both sides
30 = 35x ... divide both sides by 35
or 0.857 = x
Finally, we can see that after 0.857 weeks both Mallory and Aimee will have saved the same amount of money.
*** The process provided is correct but I believe that the actual values for Aimees savings should be $50 and plans to save $5 a week, this would make the final result 1.5 weeks which would make more sense***
