Answer: The required system of equations representing the given situation is

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Sam needs to make a long-distance call from a pay phone.
We are to write a system to represent the situation.
Let x represent the number of minutes Sam talked on the phone and y represents the total amount that he paid for the call.
According to the given information,
with prepaid phone card, Sam will be charged $1.00 to connect and $0.50 per minute.
So, the equation representing this situation is

Also, if Sam places a collect call with the operator he will be charged $3.00 to connect and $0.25 per minute.
So, the equation representing this situation is

Thus, the required system of equations representing the given situation is

Twice the sum of a number and 3
2 (x+3)
is the same
=
as 11 increased by the number
11 + x
so...
2 (x+3) = 11 + x
2x+6 = 11+x
2x-x = 11-6
x = 5
Answer:
4 x
)
Step-by-step explanation:
(6 x
) / (1.5 x
)
= (
x
) / (
)
= (
x
) x (
)
=
x 
= 4 x 
Answer:
1, p = -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2(p+5) = 4 - 10p
2p+10 = 4 - 10p
2p + 10p = 4 - 10
12p = -6
p = -6/12
p = -0.5
2(-0.5+5) = 4 - 10(-0.5)
-1 + 10 = 4 + 5
9 = 9
