Answer:

The correct answer is: X = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take a closer look...

Right now we only know that Louann got 14 multipe choice questions correct and recieved 24 points for her essay while Carla got 16 multiple choice questions correct and received 14 points for her essay. We don't know how many questions there are in total, correct? So let's plug in our numbers and use <em>x</em> to represent the unknown amount of questions:

14x + 24 = 16x + 14

= 2x + 10

= x = 5

I hope this helped!

Cheers, mate!

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

  c.  $0.75 per minute at one rate for the first 5 minutes and $0.25 per minute thereafter

Step-by-step explanation:

The last 5 minutes of the 12-minute call cost ...

  $5.50 -4.25 = $1.25

__

  The first 5 minutes cost $4.25 - 2·0.25 = $3.75, so are charged at ...

     $3.75/(5 min) = $0.75/min . . . . . . . matches choice C

Use a geometric formula to solve the problem. A rectangle has a width of 4 centimeters and a perimeter of 26 centimeters. Find t
AURORKA [14]

The length is 9.

The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is

2L + 2W = P.

2L + 2(4) = 26.

2L + 8 = 26.

2L + 8 (-8) = 26 (-8).

2L = 18.

2L/2 = 18/2.

L = 9.
