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.

In right triangle DEF, it is known that Cos D = (12/13) and Cos F = (5/13). If FD = 39, then DE = ? Hint, draw the right triangl
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The value of the line segment ED is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse represents the longest side in the right triangle. In this case, FD represents the hypotenuse as it is a multiple of 13. Based on the trigonometric relations described in the statements, we get the following relationships by definition of cosines:

\cos D = \frac{ED}{FD} (1)

\cos F = \frac{EF}{FD} (2)

If we know that \cos D = \frac{12}{13} and FD = 39, then the length of the line segment ED is:

ED = FD\cdot \cos D

ED = 39\cdot \left(\frac{12}{13} \right)

ED = 36

The value of the line segment ED is 36.

3. Si al doble de un número se le resta su mitad resulta 30. ¿Cuál es el número? Plantear ecuación y resolverla
guajiro [1.7K]

Respuesta:

2x - 0.5x = 30

x = 20

Explicación paso a paso:

Llamemos "x" a la incógnita, el número desconocido.

Cuando nos referimos al doble de un número, es lo mismo que 2x.

Cuando nos referimos a la mitad de un número, es lo mismo que 0.5 x.

Consideremos que al doble de un número (2x) se le resta su mitad 0.5x) y se obtiene 30. La ecuación resultante es:

2x - 0.5x = 30

1.5x = 30

x = 30/1.5 = 20
