Let b>a, 

a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b

We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:

b-(40-b)=6.5

b-40+b=6.5

2b-40=6.5

2b=46.5

b=23.25, and since  a=40-b

a=40-23.25

a=16.75

So a=16.75 and b=23.25

check...

16.75+23.25=40, 40=40

23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5

A textbook company keeps track of its daily cost for printing whole textbooks to different schools, but can only print up to 500
seraphim [82]
Part A: Chose some value for x, that means any amount of books to print for example 100 books, so x=100
Replace x=100 in C(x) and solve:
C(100)=3.5*100+1200=1550
Part B: Replace C(x) by 1900 and solve for x from the given equation:
1900=3.5x+1200
3.5x=1900-1200
x=700/3.5= 200
Part C: the statement C(20)=1270 means that 1270 is the cost for printing 20 books.
Part E: C(40.5)=1341.75 I think this statement is incorrect given the context because x means number of books to print so this value must be an integer number.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

3000 text messages can be sent without breaking the budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each month your cell phone company charges $ 50 for your plan plus 3 cents for each text you send, and you have $ 140 budgeted for cell phone expenses for the month, to make a determination about the number of texts you can send each month the following calculation must be performed:

(140 - 50) / 0.03 = X

90 / 0.03 = X

3000 = X

Therefore, 3000 text messages can be sent without breaking the budget.
