A phone company has a monthly data plan where a customer pays flat monthly fee of $ 15 and then a certain amount of money per gi

gabyte (GB) of data used on the phone. If a customer uses 3 GB, the monthly cost will be $ 24 . If the customer uses 7 GB, the monthly cost will be $ 36.
Find a linear equation for the monthly cost of the data plan as a function of x, the number of MB used.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the number of MB used in a month.

Let y represent the monthly cost of using x MB.

If we plot y on the vertical axis and x on the horizontal axis, a straight line would be formed. The slope of the straight line would be

Slope, m = (36 - 24)/(7 - 3)

m = 12/4 = $3

We would represent the linear equation in the slope - intercept form which is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

c = y intercept

m = slope

At the y intercept, x = 0. Therefore, the y intercept is the flat monthly fee of $15. It is charged whether MB is used or not. Therefore, the linear equation is

y = 3x + 15

Or

C(x) = 3x + 15

How can i solve this<br> (x+2)(2x+3)<br> step by step please
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

2x² + 7x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this polynomial, you need to distribute/multiply, (x+2) with (2x+3).

You would first multiply (x) with 2x and 3. This would give you 2x² and 3x. You would then multiply 2 with 2x and 3. This would give you 4x and 6. You then add the like-terms, which are 3x and 4x, which gives you 7x. This would give you your final expression of 2x² +7x + 6.

(x+2)(2x+3)

2x²+ 3x + 4x + 6

2x² +7x + 6

Answer:

the area of the shape is 7.14

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the square:

2 in x 2 in = 4 in

then to find the area of the semi- circles add them together to make a circle

To find the area of the circle, use:

pi x radius^2  

Since the diameter is 2 divide the diameter by 2 to get radius  

3.14 x 1^2 = 3.14

The circle is 3.14 plus 4 ( the square ) = 7.14
