Answer: her call lasted for 44 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Linda purchase a prepaid phone card for $30. This means that the credit on her card is $30.
Long distance calls cost $0.17 each. Linda use her card only to make a long distance call. Assuming she made a total of x minutes of long distance calls, the cost would be $0.17x. The amount remaining on her card will be
30 - 0.17x
if the remaining credit on her card is $22.52, the number of minutes,x that the call lasted will be
22.52 = 30 - 0.17x
0.17x = 30 - 22.52
0.17x = 7.48
x = 7.48/0.17 = 44
Soz man i use the metric system
6x+1 / 2x +6 - 5/2
Factor 2 out of the denominator of the first fraction:
6x+1 / 2(x+3) - 5/2
Rewrite 5/2 to have a common denominator with the first fraction:
6x+1/2(x+3) - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Simplify terms:
6x +1 - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Use distributive property:
6x +1 - 5x -15 / 2(x+3)
Combine like terms for final answer:
(x-14) / 2(x+3)
