The answer is 50. no guarantee this is.
Answer:
- The system of equations is x + y = 85 and 7/20x+2/5y=31
- To eliminate the x-variable from the equations, you can multiply the equation with the fractions by 20 and multiply the other equation by -7.
- B-She used 60 minutes for calling and 25 minutes for data.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is always a good idea to start by defining variables in such a problem. Here, we can let x represent the number of calling minutes, and y represent the number of data minutes. The the total number of minutes used is ...
x + y = 85
The total of charges is the sum of the products of charge per minute and minutes used:
7/20x + 2/5y = 31.00
We can eliminate the x-variable in these equations by multiplying the first by -7 and the second by 20, then adding the result.
-7(x +y) +20(7/20x +2/5y) = -7(85) +20(31)
-7x -7y +7x +8y = -595 +620 . . . . eliminate parentheses
y = 25 . . . . . . . . simplify
Then the value of x is
x = 85 -y = 85 -25
x = 60
Yes the answer I should be 10.
The average rate, in miles per hour, of the rail portion of the trip is; D: 75
<h3>How to calculate the average speed?</h3>
Since exactly 1/3 of the distance travelled was by rail, then we can say that;
(1/3) * (90) = 30 miles
We are told that part of the trip took 1/5 of the travel time. Thus;
Time it takes to travel that distance is:
(1/5) * (2) = 2/5 of an hour
Average rate is;
30/(2/5) = 150/2 = 75 mph
