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

please help! A student claims that a figure has rotational symmetry and that the angle of rotational symmetry is 360 degrees. Cr
nordsb [41]

When thinking about rotational symmetry, you must remember that rotational symmetry means if you are given a figure, and you turn the figure, you end up with the same figure. This happens when you have regular polygons, and each angle is congruent. In order to find the angle of rotation, you divide 360 by the number of angle you are given. if you rotated 360 degrees, that means 360/360=11. Your figure only had one angle, so it can't even be a polynomial! Also, every figure in the world will look exactly like it started if rotated 360 degrees, so this would not be logical.

Lidocaine (2 grams) was prescribed in 500 mL of fluid at 2 mg/ minute, to be administered via an infusion pump. What is the flow
Luden [163]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1/2 mL/min

Step-by-step explanation:

  \dfrac{2\text{ mg}}{\text{min}}\div\left(\dfrac{2\text{ g}}{500\text{ mL}}\times\dfrac{1000\text{ mg}}{\text{g}}\right)=\dfrac{2\times500\text{ mL}}{2\times1000\text{ min}}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ mL/min}}

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The units analysis tells you how to work this problem. In order to get from mg/min to mL/min, you need to multiply by a factor with units mL/mg. Those units are the inverse of the concentration in mg/mL, which is found from g/mL.
