96+80= (100-4)+(100-20)
= 200-24
=174
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
The two pairs are Pythagorean triples because if you plug the two legs of a right triangle into the Pythagorean theorem(A^2+B^2=C^2), then you will find the measurement for the third side(hypotenuse). i.e. 15^2+12^2=9^2(it's the Pythagorean triple 3,4,5 multiplied by 3). This works with any triple, as long as your using the legs of the triangle and as long as the triangle is a right triangle.
