X = number of loads
company A : 20x + 8
company B : 24x + 4

20x + 8 = 20(5) + 8 = 100 + 8 = 108 (company A)
24x + 4 = 24(5) + 4 = 120 + 4 = 124 (company B)
company A charges less

20x + 8 = 20(9) + 8 = 188
24x + 4 = 24(9) + 4 = 220
220 - 188 = $ 32 bucks is saved by using company A

Answer:

Part A : 20x + 8 and 24x + 4

Part B : Company A charges less and compared to company B.

Part C : Using the services of company A saving is $32

Step-by-step explanation:

Jake is comparing the prices of two laundry service companies.

Part A:

Company A charges $20 per load and an additional $8 as service charges.

So the expression that represents the charges = 20x + 8

Similarly for company B the expression will be charges = 24x + 4

Here x represents the number of loads of the laundry.

Part B:

In this part we have to compare the charges for 5 loads of the laundry.

Charges of company A : 20x + 8 = 20×5 + 8 = $108

Charges of company B : 24x + 4 = 24×5 + 4 = $124

Therefore, company A charges less.

Part C :

Company A charges for 9 loads = 20×9 + 8 = $188

and company B charges for 9 loads = 24×9 + 4 = $220

Saving by using the services of company A instead of company B

= 220 - 188

= $32

Ammar hikes 2 3/4 miles of nature trail in 1 hour15 minutes. How many miles of trail does am mar hike per hour
AleksandrR [38]
Change 1 hour 15 minutes = 1.25 hour because 15 ÷ 60 = 0.25 so we add 0.25 hour and change 2 3/4 to 2.75
Equation: \frac{2.75}{1.25}=  \frac{?}{1} 
Multiply 2.75 × 1 = 2.75 ÷ 1.25 = 2.2 miles
I'm pretty sure this is correct

Solve for x in the diagram below (picture included)
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the straight line is equal to 180°, and the three angles that make it are (x+12),100°, and x. We can use the equation 180=(x+12)+100+x to find x.

180=(x+12)+100+x

We can remove the parentheses and combine x plus x to 2x.

180=100+2x+12

100+12=112

so

180=112+2x

-112 -112

68=2x

÷2 ÷2

34=x
