That would be 7 because 7x2=14 and 14-9=5
When comparing to thing with same rate, set up a proportion:
Inches/cost
13/.78=33/x
(13)(x)=(.78)(33) [cross multiplied]
13x=25.74 [simplified]
13/13x=25.74/13 [division property]
x=1.98
33 inches of wire will cost $1.98.
Ok, so first we distribute, you multiply the seven into everything in the parentheses next to it. So far we have, 14a+21+3(4a-2). You distribute the three into the parentheses to get, 14a+21+12a-6. You combine the like terms to get, 26a-15. You cannot simplify it any further so the answer is 26a-15.
<span>fixed annual membership fee of $20
</span><span>$2 per video game rented.
</span><span>Let f(n) represent the total annual cost of renting n video games
so
f(n) = 20 + 2n
if </span><span>increased by $15 the next year
then
f(n) = </span>20 + 2n + 15
f(n) = 2n + 35
answer
<span>f(n) = 2n + 35 (first choice)</span>
