Muscle Gym offers two different membership plans. Each plan includes an initial membership fee plus a monthly charge for a year.

The Beginner's Plan is $10 a month plus an initial fee of $60. The Veteran's Plan is $15 a month plus an initial fee of $40. Nina buys the Beginner's plan and Joe buys the Veteran's plan, both starting in January. In what month has each paid the same total amount to be a member of the gym?

Answer: in the 4th month, both amounts would be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of months it will take each of them to pay the same total amount to be a member of the gym.

The Beginner's Plan is $10 a month plus an initial fee of $60. If Nina buys the Beginner's plan, the total amount that she would pay for x months is

10x + 60

The Veteran's Plan is $15 a month plus an initial fee of $40. If Joe buys the Veteran's plan, the total amount that he would pay for x months is

15x + 40

For both amounts to be the same, the number of months would be

15x + 40 = 10x + 60

15x - 10x = 60 - 40

5x = 20

x = 20/5

x = 4

sdas [7]

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 15 = 5x-10

-5x            -5x

5x+15 = -10

    -15     -15

5x = -25

/5      /5

x = -5

I'm solving systems and I don't understand how to do it pls helpp

Answer:

Use the process of elimination. I'll only do one example since you have 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do the first question.

2x-3y=-11

2x+y=9

Our goal here is to be left with one variable to solve, this way we can use the answer for that variable to find the other. A.K.A only find X to plug into the equation to find Y. To do this, we'll use the process of elimination, in which we need to cancel out a variable.

X seems the easiest here. To cancel 2 (in the top equation), you need to have a -2. And that -2 needs to be the x coefficient in the 2nd equation, in order for us to "cancel" it out. To get -2, you multiply 2 by -1.

-1(2x+y)= -1(9)

Note that whatever you do to one side, you need to do it to both sides! Hence, why I also multiplied 9 by -1. You should now be left with:

-2x -y = -9

Now, we cancel out the positive 2 and -2 from both equations by adding the two equations.

2x-3y= 11

+

-2x-y=-9

X cancels out, so we're left with -4y=-20. Solve for Y, which is 5.

-4y=-20

y=5

Now that you have the Y value, plug it into any of the two equations to find your X value.

2x-3y=11

2x-3(5)=11

2x-15=11

2x=26

x=13

And voilah! Our Y value is 5, and our X value is 13.

It's pretty simple once you understand what's going on. All that we did was to cancel out one variable (either X or Y) in the two equations so that we're left with only one variable to solve. If we cancel out X, we only need to solve for Y. You do this by manipulating one of the two equations (doesn't matter which one). Once you find either X or Y, all you need to is to plug it into one of the original equations. Then, you'll have both X and Y.

And that my friend, is the process of elimination. Good luck!

Please help with this math problem for trig. A 6 m ladder is leaning against a wall. The base of the ladder is 1.5 m from the wa
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

a = 5.81 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where b= 1.5 and c= 6

a^2 +1.5^2 = 6^2

a^2 +2.25 = 36

Subtract 2.25 from each side

a^2 +2.25-2.25 = 36-2.25

a^2 = 33.75

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(33.75)

a = 5.809475019

We only take the positive root because length must be positive
