Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y
This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643
The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y
Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44
Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243
Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400
Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243
Are you supposed to find B?
Answer:
x f(x) g(x)
1 15 3
2 16 4
3 15 5
4 12 6
5 7 7
6 0 8
f(x) = g(x) when x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = -x² + 4x + 12
f(1) = -(1)² + 4(1) + 12 = 15
f(2) = -(2)² + 4(2) + 12 = 16
f(3) = -(3)² + 4(3) + 12 = 15
f(4) = -(4)² + 4(4) + 12 = 12
f(5) = -(5)² + 4(5) + 12 = 7
f(6) = -(6)² + 4(6) + 12 = 0
g(x) = x + 2
g(1) = 1 + 2 = 3
g(2) = 2 + 2 = 4
g(3) = 3 + 2 = 5
g(4) = 4 + 2 = 6
g(5) = 5 + 2 = 7
g(6) = 6 + 2 = 8
E=3x6x6
e=3x36
e=108
