Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y

This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643

The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44

We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44

Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y

Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44

Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243

Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400


Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, 3) and (14, 0)?
Brut [27]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

If you graph your points on a coordinate grid, you will see the rise/run. From the point -4, -3 to the point 14,0 ; there is a rise of 3 and a run of 18. The rise goes over the run and creates a fraction of 3/18 and 3/18 simplified is 1/6! Hope this helps!

2/3(x-2)=-2<br>how would I solve this ​
xeze [42]

Answer:

x =(5/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is \frac{2}{3(x-2)}  = -2

Now to simplify it,

The first step is to cross multiply.

So, the expression becomes

\frac{2}{(-2)}  = 3(x-2)

or, -1  = 3x - 6

⇒  3x = -1 + 6

⇒ 3x = 5 , or x =(5/3)
