ANSWER
P=8,Q=16
EXPLANATION
We can see from the table that both pattern P and Q have an initial value of 24.
Pattern P is reducing by a constant difference of 4.
The next value for pattern P is
12-4=8.
Also pattern Q is reducing by a constant value of 2.
The next value for pattern Q is,
18-2=16
Cost of company A=monthlyfee+text=20+0.03t where t=number of texts
A=20+0.03t
company b is monthlyfee+texts=5+0.07t
B=5+0.07t
1.
c=20+0.03t
c=5+0.07t
using c for cost is confusing because we can't tell which is for which company
2.
equal, means the costs are equal so
20+0.03t=5+0.07t
minus 5 from both sides
15+0.03t=0.07t
minus 0.03t from both sides
15=0.04t
divide both sides by 0.04
375=t
the answer is 375 texts
Multiply the equations by 2 and then subtitude,
Let us determine each of their rates of work:
Since Tiana can clear the field in 3 hours, meaning she can do 1/3 of the work per hour.
In the same way, Jacob can do 1/2 of the work per hour.
Now, what would be the rate of work if they were working together? Let's look at it like this:
Hours to complete the job:
Tiana = 3
Jacob = 2
Together = t
Work done per hour:
Tiana = 1/3
Jacob = 1/2
Together = 1/t
If you add their labor together:
1/3 + 1/2 = 1/t
5/6 = 1/t
t = 6/2 = 1.2
Together, they can clear the field in 1.2 hours.
8.4 because 6 would round up to 10 and 10+30 =40 for 8.40 or just 8.4
