Answer:
3 because pretend the rest of the numbers are not there it is 3
If I'm not wrong I believe it would be 343 different ways.
1.
Calculate the sum
5x - 10 + 7 = 65 - 20x + 32
Move terms
5x - 3 = 97 - 20x
Collect the like terms and calculate
5x + 20x = 97 +3
Divide both sides by 25
25x = 100
X= 4 ANSWER
I skipped some steps because it would be too long :/
2.
Multiply parenthesis by 8
20x>8(4x - 5) -20
Calculate
20x>32x - 40 - 20
Move variable to the left
20x>32x-60
Collect like terms
20x - 32x > -60
Divide both sides by -12
-12x>-60
X<5 ANSWER
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost for insuring the applicant = a.
Let the cost for insuring the spouse = b
Let the cost for insuring the first child= c
Let the cost for insuring the second child = d
A 35-year-old health insurance plan and that of his or her spouse costs $301 per month. This means that:
a + b = $301.
That rate increased to $430 per month if a child were included. This means the cost of a child will be:
= $430 - $301
= $129
The rate increased to $538 per month if two children were included. This means the cost for the second child will be:
= $538 - $430
= $108
The rate dropped to $269 per month for just the applicant and one child. His will be the cost of the applicant and a single child. This can be written as:
a + $129 = $269
a = $269 - $129
a = $140
Since a + b = $301
$140 + b = $301
b = $301 - $140
b = $161
Applicant = $140
The spouse = $161
The first child = $129
The second child = $108
