arges. Company B charges $24 per load and an additional $4 as service charges.
Part A: Write an equation to represent each company's total charges for cleaning a certain number of loads of laundry. For both equations (one for Company A and one for Company B), define the variable used. (4 points)

Part B: Which company would charge less for 5 loads of laundry? Justify your answer. (3 points)

<span>Part A: Write an equation to represent each company's total charges for cleaning a certain number of loads of laundry. 
lets x = # of loads
</span><span>Company A : 20x + 8
</span><span>Company B:  24x + 4

</span><span>Part B: Which company would charge less for 5 loads of laundry? Justify your answer. (3 points)

</span>Company A : 20x + 8 = 20(5) + 8 = 100 + 8 = 108
Company B:  24x + 4 = 24(5) + 4 = 120 + 4 = 124

Company A charges $16 less than company B <span>for 5 loads of laundry
</span>
<span>Part C: How much money is saved by using the services of Company A instead of Company B to clean 9 loads of laundry? (3 points)
</span>
Company A : 20x + 8 = 20(9) + 8 = 180 + 8 = 188
Company B:  24x + 4 = 24(9) + 4 = 216 + 4 = 220

220 - 188 = $32

You would save $32 <span>by using the services of Company A instead of Company B to clean 9 loads of laundry</span>

Part A:
Company A: Charges= $20x+$8
(I knew 20 was the coefficient for x instead of 8 because in the question it says $20 "per a load" which is a clue that it is multiplied by a variable. I knew that 8 did not come with a variable because it was describribed as a one time charge for using the laundry service)

Company B: Charges= $24x+$4

the variable used for both equations was "x".
variable x= number of loads of laundry that Jake has.





Part B: which company would charge less for 5 loads of laundry? (so, when x=5)

Comp. A: C= 20x+8
C= 20(5)+ 8
C= 100 +8
C= $108

For company A, the total charges for 5 loads is $108.

Comp. B: C= 24x +4
C=24(5)+4
C=120+4
C=$124

For compamy B, the total charges for five loads add up to $124. COMPANY A CHARGES LESS FOR 5 LOADS OF LAUNDRY BECAUSE 124>108.



Part C: How much money is saved by using the services of Company A instead of Company B to clean 9 loads of laundry? (so, when x=9, what is Cb-Ca = to?)

Comp.A: C=20x+8
C=20(9)+8
C=180 + 8
Ca=$188

Comp. B: C=24x+4
C=24(9)+4
C=216+4
Cb=$220


Final answer part C:
Cb-Ca= answer
220-188=$32

$32 are saved by using Company A rather than Company B.

Can atriangle be formed with side lengths of 5cm. 10cm and 15cm
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Theorem of cosine:
a²=b²+c²-2bc(cos α)  ⇒cos α=-(a²-b²-c²) / 2bc

In this case:
a=15 cm
b=10 cm
c=5 cm

cos α=-(15²-10²-5²) / 2*10*5
cos α=-100 / 100
cos α=-1

A=arc cos -1=180º  This is impossible, because:

A+B+C=180º; then  B=C=0º  This is impossible for make a triangle  (B>0 and C>0 if we want to make a triangle).  

Therefore: it is not possible can make a triangle with side lengths of 5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm.

Calculate the perimeter of the figure below.
mote1985 [20]

Well, we know perimeter is just adding all the lengths together.

And we already know 2 of the lengths, so we know the rest. 11 1/2 is the same as the opposite side, and 6 1/3 is the same as the opposite side.

So the sides are 6 1/3, 6 1/3, 11 1/2, 11 1/2.

Add them up:

6 1/3 + 6 1/3 + 11 1/2 + 11 1/2.

Improper fractions:

19/3 + 19/3 + 23/2 + 23/2.

Common denominator, (6):

38/6 + 38/6 + 69/6 + 69/6 = 214/6.

Simplify:

214/6 =  35 2/3
