A) let x=months let y=cost y=mx+b y= 20x+ 60 Remember 20 is the variable which means in this case every month it cost 20$ and 60 is the constant which means you only pay it once B) let x= Months let y= cost y=10x + 150 C) platinum gym y= 20x+60 y=20(1)+60 y=20+60 y=80 Superfit y=10x+150 y=10(1)+150 y=10+150 y=160 Therefore Tom will pay less after the first month D) y=y solve for x y=20x+60 y=10x+150 20x+60=10x+150 -10x. -10x 10x+ 60=150 -60. -60 10x=90 10x/10=90/10 X=9 9 months Pick any equation and sub in x Y=10x+150 Y=10(9)+150 Y=90+150 Y=240 240$ Know that you only have to do one equation to find y but if you want to show both you can Therefore there is a period where Tom and Edward paid the same amount, after nine months they would both pay $240 E) if they plan on going to the gym 9 months and less the best deal gym is platinum gym but if they want to go for more then 9 months then the best deal gym is super fit

Evaluate the expression below if x = 3 and y= -4.<br> X - Y - 3+ (-57)
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

-53

Step-by-step explanation:

If x=3 and y=-4

Plug the numbers into the equation

3 - (-4) - 3 + (-57)

Now solve the equation right to left

3 - (-4) = 7

7 - 3 = 4

4 - 57 = -53

So the answer is -53
