The number of text messages that will result in the exact same charge from both companies is 500

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of text messages

<em><u>Cell phone A charges $20 per month plus $0.05 per text</u></em>

Thus, a equation for cell phone A is framed as:

Cell phone A : 20 + 0.05(number of messages)

Cell phone A : 20 + 0.05x --------- eqn 1

<em><u>Cell phone company B charges $10 per month plus $0.07 per text message</u></em>

Thus, a equation for cell phone B is framed as:

Cell phone B: 10 + 0.07(number of messages)

Cell phone B : 10 + 0.07x ---------- eqn 2

<em><u>For exact same charge from both companies, eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2</u></em>

20+0.05x = 10+0.07x\\\\0.07x - 0.05x = 20-10\\\\0.02x = 10\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ of\ equation\ by\ 0.02\\\\x = 500

Thus, the number of text messages that will result in the exact same charge from both companies is, 500

To reduce their expected estate tax liability prior to either​ spouse's death, the Hansens​ could?
tatuchka [14]

If the Hansens want to reduce their expected estate tax liability prior to the death of either of the spouses, they could initiate a Marital Transfer.

<h3>What is a marital transfer?</h3>

A Marital transfer simply means that the Hansens should bequest their assets to each each other in case either of them die.

If this happens, the surviving spouse will not be charged any estate taxes because bequests to spouses are not subject to taxation.

To do this, the Hansens should put it into both of their wills that they plan to gift/ bequest their assets to their spouse if they die.

The big disadvantage of using a marital transfer however, is that the estate will still be subject to taxes when the surviving spouse dies. All the estate taxes that had been avoided would then be incurred by the estate but only after the death of both spouses.

In conclusion, they should use a marital transfer.

51 is 33 1/3 of what number?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

\boxed{\frac{153}{100}\:\:Or\:\:1.53}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be n.


Then,

33\frac{1}{3} \tmes n=51

This implies that;

\frac{100}{3} n=51


We multiply both sides by \frac{3}{100} to obtain;


\frac{3}{100} \times \frac{100}{3}n=\frac{3}{100} \times 51


\Rightarrow n=\frac{3}{100} \times 51


\Rightarrow n=\frac{153}{100}

Or

\Rightarrow n=1.53

Write the equation of the circle whose center is (-4,8) and has a diameter of 18
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

(x + 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 81

or

(x + 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 9^2 depending on how your teacher wants it written.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a circle is

(x + h)^2 + (y + k)^2 = r^2

r is the radius.

You are given the diameter

r = d/2

r = 18/2

r = 9

So you already have the right hand side of the equation

(x + h)^2 + (y + k)^2 = 9*2

(x + h)^2 + (y + k)^2 = 81

You basically have h and k as well. They come from the center point.

h = 4

k = - 8

So the equation of the circle (and the answer) is

(x + 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 81

One question remains. Why do the x and y values change signs? If you know what the distance formula is, then what you are finding is the distance r of all points on the circle from the center of the circle.

It is the distance formula that is actually the formula for the circle.
