Answer:
B. 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The fractions are there to just make the problem seem complicated, but just rewrite it without the fractions.
"What is a common multiple for 7 and 3?"
In this problem it's easy, all you have to do is guess and check.
A: A doesn't work. 7 is not a factor of 18.
B: B works! Both 3 and 7 are factors of 21.
C: C doesn't work. 7 is not a factor of 3.
D: D doesn't work. Neither are a factor of 4.
They only leave us with one solution, B.
For the first one,
you multiply 5x and -5 to get -25.
Then you move the constant to the right and change the sign to get 3x= -21 +25.
Calculate the sum of -21+25 to get 4.
Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get x=4/3.
So then your final answer is x=4
——
3
For the second one,
Distribute 7 through the parentheses to get 14x + 14+8=120
The you add 14+8 to get 22. Your equation should be 14x+22=120
Move the constant to the right side and change its sign to get 14x=120-22
Subtract 120-22 to get 98. Now your equation should be 14x=98
Divide both sides of the equation by 14 to get x=7.
Your finial answer for the second one should be x=7.

Answer: it will take 125 additional minutes for both costs to be equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a represent the number of additional minutes that it will it take for the two to be the same.
Company A charges a flat fee of 59.99 a month and .43 additional minutes. This means that the total cost of a additional units would be
0.43x + 59.99
Company B charges 69.99 a month and .35 for additional minutes. This means that the total cost of a additional units would be
0.35x + 69.99
For the cost of the two plans to be the same, it means that
0.43x + 59.99 = 0.35x + 69.99
0.43x - 0.35x = 69.99 - 59.99
0.08x = 10
x = 125
