Answer: it will take 25 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of months that it will take for the cost of both plans to be the same.
Cell phone Plan A costs $70 per month and comes with a free $500 phone. This means that the total cost of x months with plan A would be
70 × x = $70x
Cell phone plan B costs 50 per month but does not come with a phone. If you buy the 500 phone and choose plan B, then the total cost of x months with plan B would be
500 + 50 × x = 500 + 50x
To determine the number of months until your cost is the same as Plan A's, we would equate both costs. It becomes
70x = 500 + 50x
70x - 50x = 500
20x = 500
x = 500/20 =25
Answer: 13&7
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two numbers x&y is 20
Product of the 2numbers xy is 51
X+y=20......equation 1
XY=51.........equation 2
X=20-y.......equation 3
Substitute for x inequation 3 into equation 2
So we have;
(20-y)y=51
Open the bracket
20y-y^2=51
Collect like terms,so we have
Y2-20y+51=0
Factorise
Factors of 51 is 13&7
So -13-7=-20 &-13×-7=51
Substitute
Y2-13y-7y+51=0
Y(y-13)-7(y-13)=0
(Y-7)(y-13)=0
Y-7=0
Y=7 or
Y-13=0
Y=13
Y=13 or 7
Substitute for y in equation 1
X+y=20
X+7=20
X=20-7
X=13 or
X+13=20
X=20-13
X=7
Therefore, X &Y = 13 &7
