I got -3.........................
-7 - 7p = 3p + 23
Move the -7p over to the right....by adding
-7 = 10p +23
Move the 23 over to the left by subtracting
-30 = 10p
divide by 10
p = -3
We can assume that B leaves Los Angeles not at noon but at 2pm Eastern Time, so 5 hours later than A leaves New York.
In 5 hours A covers 5*40=200 miles. So, A and B together should cover 3,000-200=2,800 miles.
Combined rate = 40 + 60 = 100 miles per hour.
To cover 2,800 miles they'll need 2,800/100=28 hours.
2pm Eastern Time on Monday + 28 hours = 6pm Eastern Time on Tuesday.
Answer: 6:00pm on Tuesday
The correct answer for this would be the last option. The factors of 48m - 80n are 16(3m - 5n). If you try to solve this, the result would be 48m - 80n. 16 x 3m would be 48m and 16 times 5n would be 80n. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
We can write two equations for this. x = each minute of calls
Plan A = .1x + 16
Plan B = .14x
Make the two equations equal each other, so we can find when they are the same.
.1x + 16 = .14x
Subtract .1x from both sides
16 = 0.04x
Divide by 0.04 to get x by itself
400 = x.
Earlier, we set x as each minute of calls. This means that after 400 calls, Plan A and Plan B will cost the same.
To find the cost, substitute 400 into both equations by themselves.
Plan A cost = .1x + 16
Plan A cost = .1(400) + 16
Plan A cost = 40 + 16
Plan A cost = $56
Plan B cost = .14x
Plan B cost = .14(400)
Plan B cost = $56
Final answer: After 400 calls, Plan A and Plan B will both cost $56.
12x-5(x+4)=-20
12x-5x-20=-20
12x-5x=-20+20
7x=0
X=0
Y=0+4=4
