Answer:
x = 66
Step-by-step explanation:
√(x - 2) + 3 = 11
Subtract 3 from both sides: √(x - 2) = 8
Square both sides: x - 2 = 64
Add 2 to both sides: x = 66
your answer should be 58 correct me if I'm wrong.
Answer: <em>4032</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Take 168 and multiply by 24</em>
<em>168x24</em>
<em>you will get </em>
<em>4032 tapes in 24 weeks</em>
Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y
This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643
The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y
Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44
Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243
Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400
Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243
Cross multiply the denominators by the numerators. In other words, 12 times 3 and 7 times x (x, being our missing number).
We end up with 36 and 7x.
Divide both sides by 7.
36/7x = 5.14
x = 5.14
Hope this helps!
