Answer:
4 - ( 3x - 8 ) = 21
break the bracket first ,it gives : 4 - 3x + 8 = 21
12 - 3x = 21
- 3x = 21 - 12
- 3x = 9
-x = 9/3
-x = 3
X = - 3
[ check if the answer is correct, put -3 instead of X in the above equation ! we get 4 - { 3(-3) - 8 } = 21
4 - { - 9 - 8 } = 21
4 - { - 17 } = 21
break the bracket, minus and minus will multiply and will become plus , so we have 4 + 17 = 21 , hence 21 = 21 ! therefore X = -3
Let's assume two variables x and y which represent the local and international calls respectively.
x + y = 852 = total number of minutes which were consumed by the company (equation 1)
0.06*x+ 0.15 y =69.84 = total price which was charged for the phone calls (Equation 2)
from equation 1:-
x=852 -y (sub in equation 2)
0.06 (852 - y) + 0.15 y =69.84
51.12 -0.06 y +0.15 y =69.84 (subtracting both sides by 51.12)
0.09 y =18.74
y= 208 minutes = international minutes (sub in 1)
208+x=852 (By subtracting both sides by 208)
x = 852-208 = 644 minutes = local minutes
