Hey there!

These are slope intercept equations, because they have an initial cost and then a cost based on an independent variable, in this case, time spent skating.

Given the information, Ice Dreams equation would be c=1.5h+4 and Skating Paradise would be c=3h+1

Now, we just put them together to make the systems of equations.

c=1.5h+4

c=3h+1

Now, we need to find a point where the two will meet, which will give us our answer. We just need to solve the system.

Let's solve using elimination.We can multiply the top equation by -2 so we can use elimination.

-2c=-3h-8

c=3h+1

We combine the equations..

-c==7

c=7

Now we can plug this into one of the other equations.

7=3h+1

h=2

Now, we have our solution..

(h,c)=(2,7)

Therefore, after two hours, the cost will be the same, and the cost will be seven dollars.

I hope this helps!

Find the difference of(ab+8a+1)-(-6ab+4)
vagabundo [1.1K]
Hey there!

When finding the difference of expressions like these, there's a few things you should keep in mind. 

1. When finding the difference of two polynomials, multiply the polynomial that implied to be "negative" by –1 to expand the problem and make it easier to solve. 

2. You combine terms based on their unknown terms, like x, y, x², ab, etc. You cannot combine the terms x and x², but you can combine the terms 6b and 8b by adding them. 

3. You can rearrange your terms however you see fit. If a polynomial is implied as "positive", you can multiply that entire polynomial by +1 to get rid of the parentheses. 

With all that in mind, you can go ahead and solve for your difference, like so:

(ab+8a+1)-(-6ab+4)

(ab+8a+1) (-1(-6ab+4))

(ab+8a+1) + (6ab-4)

ab+6ab+8a+1-4

7ab+8a-3

7ab+8a-3 will be your difference. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
