Answer:

x = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-5x - (-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4)

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. <u>Distribute:</u> -5x + 7 + 4x = -6x + 8
  2. <u>Combine like terms:</u> -x + 7 = -6x + 8
  3. <u>Add 6x to both sides:</u> 5x + 7 = 8
  4. <u>Subtract 7 on both sides:</u> 5x = 1
  5. <u>Divide by 5 on both sides:</u> x = 1/5

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

-5(1/5) - (-7 - 4(1/5)) = -2(3(1/5) - 4)

-1 - (-7 - 4/5) = -2(3/5 - 4)

-1 - (-39/5) = -2(-17/5)

-1 + 39/5 = 34/5

34/5 = 34/5

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

66 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

11.96 - 8 =3.96

Every 10 minutes Deon pays 60 cents because 6 times 10 = 60 and every 6 minutes Deon is paying 36 cents

10 min = 60 cents

20 min = $1.20        

40 min = $2.40

50 min = $3.00

60 min = $3.60

6 min = 36 cents

Then you do 3.60 + 36 which equals $3.96

How to figure how the minutes is just 60 + 6 = 66 minutes
