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

John and Paul both run on the same track each morning. The ratio of the number of miles John runs to the number of miles Paul ru
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For example,

<u>Solution: Finding a unit rate</u>

If we divide 150 by 20, we get the unit rate for the ratio, 150 minutes for every 20 miles.

150÷20=7.5

So the runner is running 7.5 minutes per mile. We can multiply this unit rate by the number of miles:

7.5 minutes mile × 6 miles = 45 minutes

Thus it will take her 45 minutes to run 6 miles at this pace.

If it takes her 45 minutes to run 6 miles, it will take her 45÷3=15 minutes to run 6÷3=2 miles at the same pace.

If it takes her 15 minutes to run 2 miles, it will take her 4×15=60 minutes to run 4×2=8 miles at the same pace. Since 60 minutes is 1 hour, she is running at a speed of 8 miles per hour.

We found her pace in minutes per miles in part (a).

Anybody know the answer?
marysya [2.9K]
I'd start by writing an equation for each of the right triangles. (Pythagorean theorem)

y² + 9² = z²
x² + z² = (4+9)²
4² + y² = x²

we want to find z so combine the equations by substituting the other variables x,y out.

substitute y² for (x² - 4²) in 1st equation.

(x² - 4²) + 9² = z²

now by rearranging the 2nd equation we can substitute x² for (13² - z²)

(13² - z²) - 4² + 9² = z²
169 - z² - 16 + 81 = z²
234 - z² = z²
234 = 2z²
234/2 = z²
117 = z²
√(117) = z
√(9*13) = z
3√(13) = z

13 goes in the box
