We have a system of equations in two variables, namely, a and c. Use the substitution to find a and c.
Yes if you would like them to be considered that way depending on you x axis degree
There are many factors, it is all a matter of preference, normally, you want to try to solve for the easiest one to get to
example
if y ou had
(x-3)^2+y=9
you would solve for y becuase it is less tricky
it is all a matter of preference
X = number of loads
company A : 20x + 8
company B : 24x + 4
20x + 8 = 20(5) + 8 = 100 + 8 = 108 (company A)
24x + 4 = 24(5) + 4 = 120 + 4 = 124 (company B)
company A charges less
20x + 8 = 20(9) + 8 = 188
24x + 4 = 24(9) + 4 = 220
220 - 188 = $ 32 bucks is saved by using company A
