Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the total charges be y and the number of hours be x

Company A charges

$60 reservation fee plus another $15 per hour.

so

y=60+15x----------1

Company B charges

$25 reservation fee plus another $20 per hour

y=25+20x------------2

Step two:

equate the 2 expressions above we have

60+15x=25+20x

collect like terms

60-25=20x-15x

35=5x

divide both sides by 5

x= 35/5

x= 7 hours

Factor the expression using the GCF. 18x + 24y.
Georgia [21]
Answer: 6(3x + 4y)

1. Find the GCF (the largest number that goes into both 18x AND 24y). This would be 6.

2. Factor out the 6 by dividing each of the terms by the GCF
18x/6 = 3x
24y/6 = 4y

3. Write as a factored expression
6(3x + 4y)

What is the value of x in the equation 2x + 3y = 36, when y = 6?
amm1812

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

When plugging 6 in for y, you get  

2x + 3(6) = 36

You have to multiply 3 and 6, getting

2x + 18 = 36.

Now, you subtract 18 from both sides to isolate the x variable, getting

2x = 18

Now, you divide 2 from both sides because we want x standing by itself, getting

x = 9

Therefore, your answer is 9.

Hope this helped

Jeremy has $1200 in spending money for the fall semester of college. He needs to purchase car insurance at $120 for 4 months, $2
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Jeremy Will have more than just $200 to spend on Christmas presents.

Explanation :

He has a total of $1200.

He spends a $120 for car insurance. (1)

He needs to spend $25 a week for lunch. He has to do this for 16 weeks so 25*16 = $400. (2)

He needs to spend $20 a week for entertainment. For 16 weeks that'll be 20*16 = $320 (3)

adding (1) (2) and (3)

We get Jeremy's total spending will be $840. Jeremy has $1200.

1200-840 = $360

So Jeremy will have $360 to spend on Christmas present.
