Answer:
- The system of equations is x + y = 85 and 7/20x+2/5y=31
- To eliminate the x-variable from the equations, you can multiply the equation with the fractions by 20 and multiply the other equation by -7.
- B-She used 60 minutes for calling and 25 minutes for data.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is always a good idea to start by defining variables in such a problem. Here, we can let x represent the number of calling minutes, and y represent the number of data minutes. The the total number of minutes used is ...
x + y = 85
The total of charges is the sum of the products of charge per minute and minutes used:
7/20x + 2/5y = 31.00
We can eliminate the x-variable in these equations by multiplying the first by -7 and the second by 20, then adding the result.
-7(x +y) +20(7/20x +2/5y) = -7(85) +20(31)
-7x -7y +7x +8y = -595 +620 . . . . eliminate parentheses
y = 25 . . . . . . . . simplify
Then the value of x is
x = 85 -y = 85 -25
x = 60

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
13.63 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
100 yards / 15 sec converted to miles per hour
<u>100 yards</u> x <u> 60 sec</u> x <u> 60 min</u> x <u> 1 mile </u> = 13.63 miles/hr
15 sec 1 min 1 hr 1760 yards
the mistake on Mrs Dukes is the conversion from miles to yards.
1 mile = 1760 yards NOT 5280 yards
