Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y

This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643

The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44

We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44

Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y

Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44

Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243

Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400

Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243

Given f(x)= 3x-1 and g(x)= 2x-3, for what value of x does g(x) =f (2)?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

At x = 4 ⇒ g(x) = f(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

* In the functions f(x) = 3x - 1 and g(x) = 2x - 3, the domain is

  the values of  x and the range is the values of y

∵ g(x) = f(2)

* Then you will use the range of f(x) at x = 2 to find the domain of g(x)

∵ The domain of f(x) = 2

∵ f(x) = 3x - 1

∴ f(2) = 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

* The range of f(x) = 5

∵ f(2) = g(x)

∴ 5 = g(x)

∵ g(x) = 2x - 3

∴ 2x - 3 = 5 ⇒ add 3 to both sides

∴ 2x = 8 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 4

* At x = 4 ⇒ g(x) = f(2)

20 students plays football and 16 students plays hockey.It is found that 10 students plays both game.Find the number of students
Bess [88]
36 because in total there are 46, 20 playing football, 16 playing hockey and 10 who plays both so if you add 20+16+10 you get 46, but then you take away the 10 who play both to get an answer or 36 students
