Calls from a call box are charged per minute at one rate for the five minutes, then a different rate for each additional minute.

If a 7-minute call costs $4.25 and a 12-minute call costs $5.50, find each rate.​
a.$ 1.50 per minute at one rate for the first 5 minutes and $0.50 per minute thereafter
b.$3.20 per minute at one rate for the first 5 minutes and $0.55 per minute thereafter
c.$0.75 per minute at one rate for the first 5 minutes and $0.25 per minute thereafter
d.$2.40 per minute at one rate for the first 5 minutes and $0.75 per minute thereafter

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

so the per-minute rate at that time is ...

  $1.25/(5 min) = $0.25/min . . . . . . . . matches choice C only

__

You know the answer at this point, but if you want to check the rate for the first 5 minutes, you can subtract 2 minutes from the 7-minute call to find that ...

  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

Express the statement "A rectangular field with an area of 120m' has it length 12mn longer than the width" as quadratic equation
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The quadratic equation is x^2 -12x -120 = 0

where x represents the length of the field

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to make an expression in terms of a quadratic equation;

Let the length of the field be x mm , then the width will be (x-12) mm

Mathematically , the area of the field will be L * B

Thus;

x * (x-12) = 120

That gives;

x^2 -12x = 120

x^2 -12x -120 = 0

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (-3, 7) and (9,-1)? oy--3x+5 o y=-x-7 o y=zx-7 oy - 12 2x+5​
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

use the slope equation (y2-y1) / (x2 -x1). plug in values and solve

(-1 -7) / (9 -(-3)) (subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive)

-8 / 12 (simplify)

m = -2/3

then, plug in one of the points and the slope into the slope-point equation.

(y - y1) = m (x - x1) (the point-slope form)

y - 7 = -2/3( x - (-3)) (plug in the slope and point 1 values, then solve)

y - 7 = -2/3x - 2 (add 7 to both sides)

y = 2/3x +5 (the answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps :))

Assume that 2 cards are drawn from a standard 52-card deck. Find the following probabilities.
topjm [15]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

WITHOUT replacement of first card drawn:

P(a 10 is drawn) = 13/52 = 1/4

P(the next draw is a 10) = 12/52 = 3/13

P(drawing two 10s without replacement of the first draw) = (1/4)(3/13) = 3/52

WITH replacement of first card:

P(two 10s are drawn) = P(first card is a 10)*P(first card is a 10) = (4/13)(4/13) =

A circle representing a pool is graphed with a center at the origin. Grant enters the pool at point A and swims over to a friend
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

From the diagram above you can see that points A and B have coordinates (8,0) and (-4,6), respectively.

The equation of the line passing through the pointa A and B is:

y-y_A=\dfrac{y_B-y_A}{x_B-x_A}(x-x_A).

Then

y-0=\dfrac{6-0}{-4-8}(x-8),\\ \\y=-\dfrac{6}{12}(x-8),\\ \\y=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x-8),\\ \\y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+4.

Answer: y=4-\dfrac{1}{2}x.
