Answer:
x= 16 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' and 'y' are the lengths of the two pieces then:
1.) x + y = 36
2.) x : y = 4 : 5 cross multiply
3.) 5x = 4y
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 36
5x = 4y
we find
x = 16 ft
y = 20 ft
The roots to this equation i s either positive or negative five
Answer:
The correct answer is t < 60.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lauren wants to keep her cell phone bill below $60 per month.
Lauren's current cellphone plan charges her a fixed price of $30 and per text price for one text is $0.50.
Let Lauren sends t texts in a complete month.
Total money spent on texts in a month is given by $ (0.50 × t)
Therefore Lauren's total spent in a month is given by $ (30 + (0.50 × t)).
But this amount should be under $60 as per as the given problem.
∴ 30 + (0.50 × t) < 60
⇒ (0.50 × t) < 30
⇒ t < 
⇒ t < 60.
So in order to keep her phone monthly bill under $60, Lauren should keep her number of texts below 60.
