Answer: Company A would be a better deal for number of minutes over 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of minutes that you would use with either company A or company B.

Company A has a monthly charge of $10 plus 5¢ a minute for each minute of long distance calls. It means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is

10 + 0.05x

Company B has a monthly charge of $8 plus 6¢ a minute for long distance calls. It means that the cost of x minutes of long distance call is 10 + 0.05x

8 + 0.06x

For Company A to be a better deal, it means that

10 + 0.05x < 8 + 0.06x

10 - 8 < 0.06x - 0.05x

2 < 0.01x

0.01x > 2

x > 2/0.01

x > 200

What is the surface area of a box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10
xenn [34]
If we are scaling up the surface area by a factor of 10 means that the two dimensions of area are each being increased by 10 times the original size. Therefore, the surface area is increased by a factor of 10 x 10, or by a factor of 100.

How do you know a radical expression is in simplest form?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Answer: To know whether a radical expression is in simplest form or not you should put the numbers and letters inside the radical in terms of prime factors. Then, the radical expression is in the simplest form if all the numbers and letters inside the radical are prime factors with a power less than the index of the radical

Explanation:

Any prime factor raised to a power greater than the index of the root can be simplified and any factor raised to a power less than the index of the root cannot be simplified

For example simplify the following radical in its simplest form:


\sqrt[5]{3645 a^8b^7c^3}

1) Factor 3645 in its prime factors: 3645 = 3^6 * 5

2) Since the powr of 3 is 6, and  6 can be divided by the index of the root, 5, you can simplify in this way:

- 6 ÷ 5 = 1 with reminder 1, so 3^1 leaves the radical and 3^1 stays in the radical

3) since the factor 5 has power 1 it can not leave the radical

4) the power of a is 8, then:

8 ÷ 5 = 1 with reminder 3 => a^1 leaves the radical and a^3 stays inside the radical.

5) the power of b is 7, then:

7 ÷ 5 = 1 with reminder 2 => b^1 leaves the radical and b^2 stays inside the radical

6) the power of c is 3. Since 3 is less than 5 (the index of the radical) c^3 stays inside the radical.

7) the expression simplified to its simplest form is

3ab \sqrt[5]{3.5.a^3b^2c^3}

And you know it cannot be further simplified because all the numbers and letters inside the radical are prime factors with a power less than the index of the radical.

A snack tray at a party has cheese squares with 2 grams of protein apiece and turkey slices with 3 grams of protein apiece. whic
Dafna11 [192]

The inequality that represents the possible ways nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein is 2x + 3y ≥ 12

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more number and variables.

Let x be the number of cheese squares that she eats and y is the number of turkey slices that she eats. If nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein, hence:

2x + 3y ≥ 12

The inequality that represents the possible ways nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein is 2x + 3y ≥ 12

If 3^2x+1=3^x+5 what is the value of x?
atroni [7]
Did you mean this?    <span>3^2x+1=3^x+5  =>  3^(2x+1) = 3^(x+5)?  If so, then 2x+1 is necessarily equal to x+5, so that 2x+1=x+5.  Thus, x = 4 (answer).

Those parentheses are not optional; they must be part of your problem statement and solution.</span>
