Answer: a) each text message costs 5 cents more than each anytime minute


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of anytime minutes and y be the cost of text messages.

Then for the first month, equation for the total amount Noah paid

200x+400y=80\\\Rightarrow5x+10y=2..\text{[divide 20 on both sides]}\\\Rightarrow15x+30y=6....\text{[multiply 3 on both sides]}...(1)

For the second month, equation for the total amount Noah paid

150x+350y=67.5\\\Rightarrow15x+35y=6.75....\text{[divide 10 on both sides]}....(2)

Now subtract equation (1) from equation (2), we get

5y=0.75\\\Rightarrow\ y=0.15

Put y=0.15 in (1), we get

5x+10(0.15)=2\\\Rightarrow5x+1.5=2\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{2-1.5}{5}=0.10\\\Rightarrow\ x=0.10

Thus, the cost of anytime minutes(x)= $0.10= 10 cents

and the cost of test messages(y)=$0.15=15 cents

Difference=15-10=5 cents

Hence,  each text message costs 5 cents more than each anytime minute.

The statement A is true since on forming the quadratic equations formed you will find the cost of a message being 15 cents and that of anytime as 10 cents.

Simplify the following rational expression and express in expanded form.
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

D m =  -\frac{3}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

factor the expressions in the denominator and the numerator to simplify the expression:

=> \frac{2(-2m + 1)(2m - 1)}{2(2m - 1)(8m + 3)}

=> -\frac{2m + 1}{8m + 3}

to make a fraction undefined, the numerator should be 0, thus, we substitute the values of m from the options into the denominator to make the denominator equals to 0:

=> -\frac{2m + 1}{8(-\frac{3}{8} ) + 3} = -\frac{2m + 1}{-3 + 3} = -\frac{2m + 1}{0}

in this case, the values of m from option D make the denominator of the fraction equals 0.
