Maybe factoring it would be a model
10 + y = 18
- 10 - 10
y = 8
Answer:
46 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Teresa purchased a prepaid phone for $15
Long distance calls cost 24 cents a minute using this card
She used the card just once to make a long distance call
The remaining credit on her card was $3.96
Therefore the minutes in which her call lasted can be calculated as follows
Let x represent the minutes
15 - 24/100x= 3.96
15-0.24x= 3.96
-0.24x= 3.96-15
-0.24x= -11.04
x= 11.04/0.24
x = 46
Hence Teresa call lasted for 46 minutes
Answer:
14 coins
Step-by-step explanation:
280 * 0.05 = 14
Answer:
The number is 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the 10s digit be x
Let the units digit be y
y = x + 5
10x + y = 3(x + y) Remove the brackets
10x + y = 3x + 3y Substitute the x + 5 into the second equation for y
10x + x + 5 = 3x + 3(x + 5) Remove the brackets on the right.
10x + x + 5 = 3x + 3x +15 Collect like terms on each side.
11x + 5 = 6x + 15 Subtract 5 from both sides
11x + 5 - 5 = 6x + 15 - 5 Collect like terms
11x = 6x + 10 Subtract 6x from both sides
11x - 6x = 6x - 6x + 10
5x = 10 Divide by 5
5x/5 = 10/5
x = 2
y = x + 5
y = 2 + 5
y = 7
