X: Nb of Susan’s texts

4(x-5)+(x-5)+x= 107
Isolate X
X=107

Replace X with 22 in each equation to find out the number of texts

Susan: 22 Texts ( x )
Hong: 68 Texts 4( x-5 )
Juan: 17 Texts ( x-5 )

Answer: susan sent 22 texts

Hong sent 68 texts

Juan sent 17 texts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of text messages that Susan sent during the weekend.

Let y represent the number of text messages that Hong sent during the weekend.

Let z represent the number of text messages that Juan sent during the weekend.

Susan, Hong, and Juan sent a total of 107 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. This means that

x + y + z = 107 - - - - - - - - 1

Hong sent 4 times as many messages as Juan. This means that

y = 4z

Juan sent 5 fewer messages than Susan. This means that

x = z + 5

Substituting y = 4z and x = z + 5 into equation 1, it becomes

z + 5 + 4z + z = 107

z + 4z + z = 107 - 5

6z= 102

z = 102/6 = 17

x = z + 5 = 17 + 5 = 22

y = 4z = 17×4 = 68

7. Find the inverse of f(x) = -2x + 10. Please show work.​
Kipish [7]

Answer- y = - x/2 + 5

Step by step - Replace f (x) with y.

Y = - 2x + 10

Interchange the variables.

x= -2y + 10

Solve for y.

Y= x/2 +5

PLSSS HELPPP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIESTTTT!!!!!!!
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

yes to both

Step-by-step explanation:

For a relationship to be a function then each value of x must relate to exactly one unique value of y.

This is the case in this table as

2 → 76

4 → 152

6 → 228

All unique values thus a function

To determine if it is linear then the rate of change is constant for each set of ordered pairs. This is measured using the slope formula.

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 76) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 152 ) ← ordered pair from table

m = \frac{152-76}{4-2} = \frac{76}{2} = 38

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 152) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 228)

m = \frac{228-152}{6-4} = \frac{76}{2} = 38

Since rate of change is constant then function is linear

Solve for x: <br> 4(x + 2) = 3(x - 2)
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

4(x + 2) = 3(x - 2)

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Distribute: 4x + 8 = 3x - 6
  2. Subtract 3x on both sides: x + 8 = -6
  3. Subtract 8 on both sides: x = -14

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

4(-14 + 2) = 3(-14 - 2)

4(-12) = 3(-16)

-48 = -48

Which will have a higher effective interest rate — a payday loan for $1900 that is due in 14 days with a fee of $80, or a payday
Pie

Answer:

It's D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shorter period loan has the same total interest for the same loan amount, so it has the higher effective interest rate: 80/12 is higher than 89/14.
