Answer:
Megan will have to pay $2, 260 for surgery.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Translate percent into decimal:
90% -> 0.9
2. Multiply (to find out how much the insurance company pays):
(0.9)(14, 600) = 13, 140
3. Subtract:
14, 600 - 13, 140 = 1, 460
4. Add (to find out how much Megan pays):
1, 460 + 800 = 2, 260
So,
"six feet less than"
- 6
"the width"
w
w - 6
"six feet less than the width (w)"
w - 6
Answer: 19 + 14x ≤ 65
Explanation:
$19 is only added once because there is only one DVD purchased. $14 is added an unknown number of times, thus the variable X is included. We know that that the total number of dollars spent for both items is either less than or equal to 65. (Depending on your teacher, they may want you to write "19 + 14x < 65" if they want you to write the answer only for discrete numbers).
First lets simplify the first term and yield (2a)
The second term:
1. 2a * (-1/2) = -a
2. -a + a = 0
Now we have simplified both terms to: (2a) (0)
Anything multiplied by 0 is 0, so the answer is also 0.
