Answer:
<em>The age at which both companies charge the same premium is 44 years</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Graph Solution to System of Equations</u>
One approach to solving systems of equations of two variables is the graph method.
Both equations are plotted in the same grid and we find the intersection point(s) of both graphs. Those are the feasible solutions.
The annual premium p as a function of the client's age a for two companies are given as:
Company A: p= 2a+24
Company B: p= 2.25a+13
The graphs of both functions are shown in the image below.
The red line indicates the formula for Company A and the blue line indicates the formula for Company B.
It can be seen that both lines intersect in the point with approximate coordinates of (44,112).
The age at which both companies charge the same premium is 44 years
So,
Our total will be equal to 20. If we want 1 additional topping, we will have an additional $1.25. <span>If we want 2 additional toppings, we will have an additional $2.50. So we can just multiply the number of additional toppings by 1.25 to get the additional amount.
1.25x
However, you will have already spent $15.
1.25x + 15 = 20
This is option B.
P.S. You will be able to put exactly 4 additional toppings.</span>
Corresponding measures have the same ratio.
.. (x -1)/4 = (2x +1)/10
.. 5(x -1) = 2(2x +1) . . . . . . multiply by 20
.. 5x -5 = 4x +2 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5 -4x
x = 7
Answer:
x times (x+1).
If it's wrong, then I'm an idiot.
