Answer:
E)82
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is
A^2 + B^2= C^2
the two sides that make up the right angle is always A and B
6j + 1/3n = 134...multiply by 3....18j + n = 402
1/3j + n = 31....multiply by 3....j + 3n = 93
the multiplying by 3 is optional...I just did it because it is easier to work with equations when there are no fractions.
18j + n = 402....multiply by -3
j + 3n = 93
----------------
-54j - 3n = - 1206 (result of multiplying by -3)
j + 3n = 93
----------------add
-53j = - 1113
j = -1113/-53
j = 21
j + 3n = 93
21 + 3n = 93
3n = 93 - 21
3n = 72
n = 72/3
n = 24
so Jasons collection (j) consists of 21 books and Nathans collection (n) consists of 24 books
We know that
• Lashonda purchased a prepaid phone card for $20.
,
• Long-distance calls cost 8 cents a minute.
,
• The remaining credit on her card is $17.12.
This problem can be expressed as
Where <em>x</em> is the number of minutes.
We solve the equation for <em>x</em>
Then, we divide by -0.08 the equation
<h2>Therefore, Lashonda's call last 36 minutes.</h2>
$125 because when you do $500x0.75 it equals $375. $500-375=$125
