Answer:
$40.00, $30.00, B
Step-by-step explanation:
We can first write an expression for the cost of each plan.
Given x amount of texts and y amount of minutes, plan A costs 15 cents per text sent (so given x amount of texts, plan A costs 15 * x for texts) and 10 cents per minute (so given y amount of minutes, plan A costs 10 * y for minutes). Adding these up, plan A costs 15 * x + 10 * y. Plugging Jaden's 200 texts in for x and 100 minutes in for y, we have
15 * x + 10 * y = 15 * 200 + 10 * 100 = 4000 cents. 100 cents = 1 dollar, and the conversion rate for cents to dollars is divide by 100, so we divide 4000 cents by 100 to get $40.00 as the cost for plan A
For plan B, the flat rate is 15 dollars. To convert from dollars to cents, we multiply by 100, so 15 * 100 = 1500 cents for the flat fee.
Texts cost 5 cents per text, so 5 * x is the cost for texts in cents for plan B. Similarly, 5 * y is the cost for minutes in cents for plan B. Adding these up, we get
1500 + 5 * x + 5 * y
combine like terms
1500 + 5 * (x+y)
plug 200 in for x and 100 in for y
1500 + 5 * (200+100)
1500 + 5 * (300)
1500 + 1500
3000
divide by 100 to convert to dollars
$30.00 is the cost for plan B
$30 < $40, so plan B will be cheaper for Jaden
Answer:
I honestly dont know I just need the points
X =10.
First distribute the 2(2x-14) and get 4x-28.
x+2-4x-28. Subtract x from each side to get 2=3x-28.
Add 28 to both sides to equal 30=3x. Divide each side by 3 to get your final Answer, x=10.
