Answer:
if youre answer has to be a whole number it would be 3 otherwise it would be x<4 ( so anything less than 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
so because we are trying to find which company is less, we need to set up in inequality.
so first lets do company A
because 15 is our reoccuring fee, its going to be the coeifficient
so the equation would be
A - 15x + 20
now lets do company B
because it only 20 every month we dont need to have a constant which means the equation for B would be
B - 20x
so lets put it all together
15x + 20 > 20x ( remember our B side has to be less )
now lets solve it
20 > 5x
we know that if x = 4 then the two would be equal, which means our answer would have to be 3 months.
now always check your work.
15 (3) + 20 = 65
20(3) = 60
D. 4 This is where the exponential line on the graph hits the y axis.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation
Substitute 2y-1 for x in the second equation:
7x + 5y = -66
7(2y-4) + 5y = -66
then solve for y:
14y - 28 + 5y = -66
19y = -38
y = -2
Substitute -2 for y in the first equation:
x = 2y - 4
x = 2(-2) - 4
x = -8
The lines intersect at (-8,-2)

Answer: positive</h3>
We're adding a negative to a positive. The sign of number that is larger in magnitude will determine the sign of the answer.
The 4.3 is negative while the 14.5 is positive. The 14.5 is larger than 4.3, so the sign of 14.5 will be the sign of the answer. This is why the final answer is positive.
You can think of (-4.3) + 14.5 as 14.5 + (-4.3) = 14.5 - 4.3 if it helps you see why the answer is positive.
