D is the one that is decreasing
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the correct answer.
Even according to calculator and working.
So not quite sure why those options are incorrect?
Answer: the expression 12f + 24 represents 12 times a quantity, added to 24.
Expplanation.
The <em>expression 12f + 24</em> is an algebraic <em>expression</em>, especifically a first degree binomial; this is, a polynomial of two terms, whose maximum power is 1.
The algebraic expressions are used to <em>represent</em> word statements in mathematical language.
You can analyze each term of the expression and then tell what the total expresssion represents:
- The first term <em>12f</em>, where f is a variable with degree 1 (the exponent of the variable), <em>represents</em> the multiplication of a quantity (represented by the variable f) by 12.
- 24 is the constant term, it <em>represents</em> an constand addend.
- Hence, the total <em>expression represents</em> the multiplication of a quantity by 12, and, after the multplication is done, added with 24.
Let x = months
so we know that price of software package is $20
Now we need to find x the price of one month
we know that Angie and Kenny spent 115 total
Angie: 20 + 3x ( one software pack + 3(price of one month)
Kenny: 20+ 2x ( one software pack + 2( price of one month)
So Angie + Kenny = $ 115
20 + 3y + 20 + 2y = 115
combine like terms and solve for x. That will give you the cost of one month
40 + 5x = 115
-40 -40
5x= 75
5x/5 = 75/5
x=15
