Answer:
The first plan of $49 will be best plan for her.
Step-by-step explanation:
Katherine used 1479 minutes call in the last 6 months.
So, the average monthly call that Katherine made is minutes.
Now, there are two plans for mobile recharge.
One is 250 minutes call time for $49 and the other is 350 minutes call time for $65.
Since 246.5 < 250 and Katherine does not want to spend more for minutes she won't use, then the first plan of $49 will be the best plan for her. (Answer)
Answer:
(x, y) = (2, -3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point of the "elimination" technique is to combine the equations in a way that eliminates one of the variables. Sometimes this involves multiplying one or both of the equations by constants before you add those results together. In any event, the first step is to look at the coefficients of the variable terms to see if there is a simple combination of them that will result in zero.
The y terms have coefficients that are opposites of each other (4, -4), so you can simply add the two equations to eliminate y as a variable.
(2x +4y) +(x -4y) = (1) +(5)
3x = 6 . . . . . simplify
x = 2 . . . . . . divide by 3
Now, you find y by substituting this value into one of the equations. I would choose the equation with the positive y-coefficient:
2(2) +4y = 1
4y = -3 . . . . . . subtract 4
y = -3/4
Then the solution is ...
(x, y) = (2, -3/4)
