Answer:

The system of equation is \left \{ {{d=15} \atop {d=0.5m}} \right..

After 30 miles all the sponsors donate the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of donated by each of the other sponsors = $15

Amount donating by one person per mile = $0.5

We need to write the system of equation to model the donation d for m miles biked.

Also We need to find the number of miles all sponsors donate the same amount.

Solution:

Let the amount donated be denoted by 'd'.

Let number of miles biked be denoted by 'm'.

Now we know that;

Amount of donated by each of the other sponsors = $15

so we can say that;

d=15

Also We know that;

Amount donating by one person per mile = $0.5

So we can say that;

d=0.5m

Hence The system of equation is \left \{ {{d=15} \atop {d=0.5m}} \right..

Now to find the number of miles when all the sponsors donate the same amount we will make both the equation equal we get;

0.5m=15

Dividing both side by 0.5 we get;

\frac{0.5m}{0.5}=\frac{15}{0.5}\\\\m=30\ miles

Hence After 30 miles all the sponsors donate the same amount.

Nezavi [6.7K]

y = 12x + 10

Assuming that your question is multiple choice, the variables might be different.

The reason that it's represented as 12x + 10 is because there is a flat fee of $10 when you sign up. From then on afterward, every month you pay $12.

In this equation, the variable 'y' represents the total cost, while 'x' represents the number of months this service was in use.

Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression: \large{-k-(-8k)}−k−(−8k)minus, k, minus, (, minus, 8, k, )
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

7k

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

-k-(-8k)

We need to find the simplified form of the given expression.

Like terms: The terms which have same variables of same degree and known as like terms. For example: 2x and 4x are like terms.

The given expression can be rewritten as

-k+8k

On combining like terms we get

(-1+8)k

7k

Therefore, the equivalent expression of the given expression is 7k.
