<h3>
Answer: n+15</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
- n = number of minutes
- cost of company X = 3n+30
- cost of company Y = 2n+15
To find out how much more company X charges, we subtract the two cost expressions
CompanyX - CompanyY = (3n+30)-(2n+15) = 3n+30-2n-15 = n+15 which is the final answer.
--------------
An example:
Let's say you talk on the phone for n = 20 minutes.
Company X would charge you 3n+30 = 3*20+30 = 90 cents
Company Y would charge you 2n+15 = 2*20+15 = 55 cents
The difference of which is 90-55 = 35 cents.
If you plugged n = 20 into the n+15 expression we got, then n+15 = 20+15 = 35 matches up with the previous 35 cents.
This example helps confirm the answer. I'll let you try out other examples.
Answer:
shorter base = 6 yd
longer base = 8 yd
area of playground = 42 yd^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The question tells you that the shorter side is equal to the width, which is 6 yds. The bases of the triangles on either side are 1 yd. Since there are two, add 1 twice to 6 (6+1+1). This gives you 8 yd for the longer base. You're right about the area, just use the trapezoid area formula: 1/2h(a+b).
