Video streaming company A charges a one-time $40 membership fee and $2 per video stream. Video streaming company B charges a one

-time $20 membership fee and $4 per video stream.
Let the variable s represent the amount of videos streamed and let the variable c represent the cost.

For how many video streams will the cost be the same for both companies?

Which system of equations can be used to solve this problem?



{c=40s+2
c=20s+4

{c=40+2s
c=20+4s

{c=42s
c=24s

{c=40−2s
c=20−4s

Let's begin ! ^_^

You have got informations in your problem that you just have to translate in a "mathematic language".

Company A :
"$40 membership fee and $2 per video stream."

Thanks to that, you can guess :
c = 40 + 2s

Now let's do the same thing to the company B.

Company B :
"charges a one-time $20 membership fee and $4 per video stream."

Therefore, c = 20 + 4s.

I think you have guessed !! =D And yes the system of equation that you have to solve and you're looking for is :

{c=40+2s ( Option B)
c=20+4s.

Second step : For how many video streams will the cost be the same for both companies?

We just have to solve the system :) And there is only one variable, the letter "s".

We know that we have to find equal costs as it is said in the question " the cost be the same for both companies", so :

=> 40 + 2s = 20 +4s
=> 4s - 2s = 40 - 20
=> 2s = 20
=> s = 20/2
=> s = 10

Verification :

Company A :
=> 40 + 2s = 40 + 2*10 = 40 + 20 =60.

Company B :

=> 20 + 4s = 20 + 4*10 = 20 + 40 = 60

As you have seen, the costs are the same for both companies.

We can say that as a conclusion for 10 video streams, the cost will be the same for both companies.

In short, the answer would be : 10.

Let me give you an advice : Usually the word "per" means a multiplication is the mathematic language.

Hope this helps !

Find the area. The figure is not drawn to scale.
ELEN [110]

area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height

 base = 19

 height = 3

19 *3 = 57

1/2 x 57 = 28.5 square ft.

I need help with this question: Label: Coefficients, variables, terms, and constant. −2x2 + 9x − 3
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

  coefficients: {-2, +9, -3}

  variables: {x}

  terms: {-2x^2, 9x, -3}

  constant: {-3}

Step-by-step explanation:

It is difficult to "label" here, so we'll list each, separated by commas.

<u>Coefficients</u>

Coefficients are the multiplicative factor of an expression. Depending on the expression of interest, it may consist of numbers, variables, or expressions. Here, we consider the expression of interest to be powers of x, so the coefficients are as listed. The last one (-3) is sometimes called a "constant coefficient." It multiplies x^0.

  coefficients: {-2, +9, -3}

<u>Variables</u>

A variable is usually a letter, symbol, or sequence of letters and symbols, that stands for something else--usually an unknown quantity. Its meaning and value will depend on the context. Generic variables are usually taken from the end of the alphabet: x, y, z. Their capitalization, font, or face may give special meaning. For example bold-face capital letters may be used to represent vectors or matrices.

  variables: {x}

<u>Terms</u>

A term is a product of coefficients and variables. Terms in a polynomial are separated by addition or subtraction symbols.

  terms: {-2x^2, 9x, -3}

<u>Constant</u>

"Constant" usually refers to a term containing no variables. It generally refers to a value that doesn't change.

  constant: {-3}
