We can set up an equation to solve this problem, but first we need to write out what we know.
$20 overall
$0.24 every minute
$13.52 remaining on the card
Now that we know our information, we can set it up in an equation.
20 - 0.24x = 13.52
The 20 represents $20 overall when she first got the phone card.
We are then subtracting $20 from how must it costs a minute (which is 24 cents). The 'x' indicates the number we are trying to find (how many minutes her call lasted). Lastly, 13.52 is the result of everything, since she has $13.52 remaining on the card.
We can now solve the equation:
20 - 0.24x = 13.52
-0.24x = 13.52 - 20 /// subtract 20 from each side
-0.24x = -6.48 /// simplify
x = 27 /// divide each side by -0.24
Our solution is: x = 27.

An easier way to solve this problem would be to first, subtract the total amount of money she had on the card when she first got it, and then the remaining total she ended up with.
$20 - $13.52 = $6.48
So, she spent a total of $6.48 on long distance calls, but since we are looking for how many minutes, we need to divide the total she spent and how much it costs per minute.
6.48 ÷ 24 = 27
We receive the same amount of minutes spent just like we did the last way we solved.

Salma spent 27 minutes on the phone.
The first thing you do is mutitpy 320,000 by .20 so that you can find the amount of down payment. The down payment would be 64,000. So you subtract 64,000 from 320,000. This leaves a loan amount of 256,000 dollars. The answer is 256,000 dollars .
Answer: x 50 y 5
Step-by-step explanation: In the graph
X-9=12
x-9+9=12+9
You need to add 9 to each side of the equation.
x=21
X-45\x<-4(multiply both sides by X to remove the denominator )
X-45<-4x (collect the like terms)
-45<-4x+x
-45<-3x(divide both sides by -3
-45\-3<-3\-3x
15>x
