Answer: her call lasted for 26 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of minutes for which her call lasted.
Rachel purchased a prepaid phone card for $30. Long distance calls cost 6 cents a minute using this card. Converting 6 cents to dollars, it becomes 6/100 = $0.06
This means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is
0.06 × x = $0.06x.
If the remaining credit on her card is $28.44, it means that
0.06x + 28.44 = 30
0.06x = 30 - 28.44
0.06x = 1.56
x = 1.56/0.06
x = 26
You solve this by plugging one equation into the other. Usually you have to rewrite one equation to make this work. In this case I choose to rewrite y-4x=0 as y=4x.
After plugging it into the second, you get:
3x + 6*4x = 9 => 27x = 9 => x=1/3
Putting this solution back into y=4x gives us y=4/3
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
20% of 150 is 30
Change the percentage into a decimal by dividing it over 100:
20 / 100 = 0.2
Multiply:
0.2 × 150 = 30
Hello! The first thing you want to do is add 4 to both sides, which gives you: 7over9x - 4 + 4 = 24 + 4. Then Simplify: 7over9x = 28. Then you just multiply both sides by the number 9! 9 times 7over9 = 28 times 9. Simplfy again! 7xover7 = 252over7. Simply that fraction, and you get x=36.
