Answer:

The value of x is reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation, ax=bx+1

On simplifying, we get,

ax=bx+1

i.e. ax-bx=1

i.e. (a-b)x=1

i.e. x=\frac{1}{a-b}

So, we get,

The value of x is \frac{1}{a-b}.

That is, the value of x is reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

The equation ax = bx + 1 is the same as x = 1/(a  - b) when solved for x. This means that x is equal to the reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

A mobile company charges a fixed rate of x cents per minute for the first 120 minutes of talk time and another rate of y cents p
patriot [66]

Answer:

$21.2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem given, we express them as algebra so that we can easily solve;

    the total charge on a call greater than 120min is given as;

   120x + y(n - 120) = total cost of call

where n is the number of minutes which is greater than 120;

  •   Ethan paid $26.80  for 175 mins

  n = 175min here;

      120x + y(175 - 120) = 26.80

       120x + 55y = 26.80 ----- (I)

  • $32.40 for 210 minutes

      n = 210min

       120x + y(210 - 120) = 32.4

       120x + 90y = 32.4 ----- (II)

Now let us solve both equations for y and x;

      120x + 55y = 26.80 ----- (I)

     120x + 90y = 32.4 ----- (II)

subtract the two equations;

             90y - 55y = 32.4 - 26.8

                  35y = 5.6

                       y = \frac{5.6}{35}  = 0.16cents

then x;

       120x = 26.8 - 55y from equation I

       120x = 26.8 - 55(0.16)

       120x = 18

            x = \frac{18}{120}  = 0.15cents

Find the cost of 140min of talk time;

  n =140min;

      =  120(0.15) + 0.16(140 - 120)

      = 18 + 0.16(20)

      = 18 + 3.2

      = $21.2
