Answer: n+15</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
- n = number of minutes
- cost of company X = 3n+30
- cost of company Y = 2n+15
To find out how much more company X charges, we subtract the two cost expressions
CompanyX - CompanyY = (3n+30)-(2n+15) = 3n+30-2n-15 = n+15 which is the final answer.
--------------
An example:
Let's say you talk on the phone for n = 20 minutes.
Company X would charge you 3n+30 = 3*20+30 = 90 cents
Company Y would charge you 2n+15 = 2*20+15 = 55 cents
The difference of which is 90-55 = 35 cents.
If you plugged n = 20 into the n+15 expression we got, then n+15 = 20+15 = 35 matches up with the previous 35 cents.
This example helps confirm the answer. I'll let you try out other examples.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The base number is 13 dollars since you must pay it before adding hourly expenses.
Every hour, you have to pay 5.50.
So, the total cost would equal:
29.50 - (13 + 5.5h) < 29.50
<em>Think: you have 29.50. you must pay 13 dollars before using it. it costs 5.50 for each hour. your money must be less than your total.</em>

Hope this helped :)
Alright, I'm pretty sure I can help.
Let's look at the first answer choice.
7 - 2 (m + 1)
Distribute -2 and add the remaining numbers to get the total for that answer choice.
7 - 2m - 2
Simplify. You get 5 - 2m.
Looks like we found the answer on the first choice!
The Final Answer is 7 - 2 (m + 1)
