Sandra uses her office fax machine to send fax at the rate of $0.10 per page. She decides to rent a fax machine for $80 a year.

The cost of sending a fax using the rented machine is $0.06 per page. Part A: Write an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of pages that Sandra should fax in a year so that the amount she pays for the rented machine is less than the office machine. Define the variable used. (5 points) Part B: How many pages should Sandra fax in a year to justify renting the fax machine? Show your work. (5 points)

Part A: 
 First we define the variable to be used for the problem:
 x: the number of pages that Sandra should fax
 The inequality for rent is:
 0.06x <= 80
 Note that the price will be less than using the fax from the office, since for the same number of pages, we have:
 y = 0.10x
 Answer:
 
an inequality that can be used to calculate the number of pages that Sandra should fax in a year is:
 
0.06x <= 80

 Part B:
 0.06x <= 80
 From here we clear x:
 x <= 80 / 0.06
 x <= 1333.33333
 Nearest whole number
 x <= 1333
 Sandra can use the leased fax for 1333 pages and the cost will be:
 1333 * 0.06 = 79.98 $
 Using the office fax the cost will be:
 1333 * 0.1 = 133.3 $
  Answer:
 
By renting the sara machine, you save:
 
133.3-79.98 = 53.32 $

write the equation that describes the line in slope-intercept form. slope = 4, point (3, −2) is on the line y = 4x 14 y = 4x − 2
amid [387]
Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is any point on the line.

y - (-2) = 4(x - 3)
y + 2 = 4x - 12
y = 4x - 12 - 2
y = 4x - 14

What is the value of x?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

x = 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the value of 'x', we can first derive the value of one of the angles that make up the triangle.

Notice that there is an angle with a measure of 100°. The angle that makes up the angle of the triangle is called a Vertical Angle. Therefore, if the angle in red is 100°, the vertical angle, or the third angle of the triangle, is 100°.

There are two congruent sides to the triangle, as seen by the congruent lines. This means that both of the other two angles must be equal. Find the value of 'x' by:

180 - 100 = 80. Since the value of one angle was 100°, and the angles in a triangle must add up to 180°, you can simply subtract to find the sum of the other two angles.

(x + 10) + (x + 10) = 80

2x + 20 = 80

2x = 60

x = 30°.
