Answer: x ≥ 1307

Explanation:

First, write the formula:
monthly fee: $14
minute rate: 7¢ or $0.07
total charge: $105.49
.07x + 14 ≥ 105.49 (the sign is this way because they said this price was the least she had been charged for a month.
You can solve for x just like you would in an equation by making the ≥ sign an equal sign
.07x + 14 = 105.49
- 14 -14
.07x = 91.49
÷ .07 ÷ .07
x = 1307 minutes
since you didn't divide by a negative number, the inequality sign stays the same:
x ≥ 1307

n200080 [17]

I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?

Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, x. That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or 120% times the original value. Because of that, it's now $150.

We can equation this.

1.20x = 150

x = 150/1.2

x = 125

The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!

The formula to determine energy is uppercase E = one-half m v squared. What is the formula solved for v?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

All the variables on the right are being multiplied together then the whole mess is being divided by 2. Let's get rid of the 2 first. The undoing of division is multiplication, so we will begin by multiplying both sides by 2 to get

$2E=mv^2$

Next we will move the m. The undoing of multiplication is division. So we divide both sides by m to get

$\frac{2E}{m}=v^2$

The undoing of a square is to take the square root, so we will do that to both sides giving us, finally

$\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} }=v$

Coby sells apples and bananas at his fruit store. He charges $6 for a bunch of bananas, and $8 for a pound of apples. If a custo

Over [174]

Answer:

6 bunches of bananas
7 pounds of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.

Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...

6B +8(13 -B) = 92

-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B

13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples

The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.

_____

Comment on the solution

You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent the most expensive of the items: the number of pounds of apples.
