Answer:
This system has no solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we try to solve:
- 5x + 8 = 5x + 3
- 5x + 8 - 3 = 5x
- 5x + 5 = 5x
- 5x - 5x + 5 = 5x - 5x
- 5 = 0
Since there are no x values left over and the remaining solution is zero, there is no solution for this equation.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
x = 3 and x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
2(5x - 3) = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )
5x - 3 = 12 ( add 3 to both sides )
5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 3
(b)
5(2x + 1) = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )
2x + 1 = 10 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
2x = 9 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 
The total cost that a customer should incur in its dealings with company A should be,
c = 50t + 100
For company B
c = 60t + 80
Equating these two charges
c = 50t + 100 = 60t + 80
Thus, the answer is the fourth choice.
