Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a system of inequalities problem. We first need to determine the expression for each phone plan.
Plan A charges $15 whether you use any minutes of long distance or not; if you use long distance you're paying $.09 per minute. The expression for that plan is
.09x + 15
Plan B charges $12 whether you use any minutes of long distance or not; if you use long distance you're paying $.15 per minute. The expression for that plan is
.15x + 12
We are asked to determine how many minutes of long distance calls in a month, x, that make plan A the better deal (meaning costs less). If we want plan A to cost less than plan B, the inequality looks like this:
.09x + 15 < .15x + 12 and "solve" for x:
3 < .06x so
50 < x or x > 50
For plan A to be the better plan, you need to talk at least 50 minutes long distance per month. Any number of minutes less than 50 makes plan B the cheaper one.

sorry it's not clear.
thank you
You want the equation for a line that goes through the data points (0, 248) and (5, 277). The slope is ∆y/∆x = (277-248)/(5-0) = 29/5 = 5.8. The first data point is the y-intercept, so your equation in slope-intercept form is
... y = 5.8x + 248 . . . . . . where y is MWh of generation and x is years since 2007.
_____
∆y is read "delta y". It means "the change in y".
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
(∛5)^7
= (5 ^ 1/3)^7
= 5^(7/3)
