HELPPPPP PLEASEEEE!!!!!! Just number 9

Answer 1

$\text{Hey there!}$

$\text{Equation for company \#1: \ 42 + \ 0.05x}$

$\text{Equation for company \#2 \ 0.08}$

$\text{Now, let's solve for your equations, shall we?}$

$\text{First set the overall equation up.}$

$\text{42 + 0.05x = 0.08x}$

$\text{Which is reverse back to: 0.08x - 0.05x = 42}$

$\text{0.08x - 0.05x = 0.03x}$

$\text{New equation (for now) 0.03x = 42}$

$\text{Divide each term by 0.03}$

$\dfrac{\text{0.03x}}{0.03}=\dfrac{42}{0.03}$

$\text{Cancel out:\ } \dfrac{\text{0.03}}{0.03}\text{ because it equals 1}$

$\text{Keep:\ }\dfrac{42}{0.03}\text{ because it helps us solve for our answer!}$

$\dfrac{42}{0.03} = 42\div0.03 \rightarrow 1,400$

$\text{Total: 1,400 pgs. (pages)}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\text{\bf{Answer should be:1,400 pages}}}}\checkmark$

$\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
