Answer:

4.95m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of longer and shorter pipe be x and y respectively..

given,

x/y=9/2...(i)

x-1.65=3y ...(ii)

in eqn ii..

x-1.65=3y

or, x/y - 1.65/y = 3

or, 9/2-1.65/y =3

or, 4.5-3 = 1.65/y

or, y=1.65/1.5

•°• y = 1.1m

now,

x/y = 9/2

or, x/1.1 = 4.5

x= 4.5×1.1

•°• x= 4.95m

thus, the length of the longer pipe is 4.95m

A basic cellular phone plan costs $4 per month for 70 calling minutes. Additional time costs $0.10 per minute. The formula C= 4+

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

For a monthly cost of at least $7 and at most $8, you can have between 100 and 110 calling minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states that the monthly cost of a celular plan is modeled by the following function:

$C(x) = 4 + 0.10(x-70)$

In which C(x) is the monthly cost and x is the number of calling minutes.

How many calling minutes are needed for a monthly cost of at least $7?

This can be solved by the following inequality:

$C(x) \geq 7$

$4 + 0.10(x - 70) \geq 7$

$4 + 0.10x - 7 \geq 7$

$0.10x \geq 10$

$x \geq \frac{10}{0.1}$

$x \geq 100$

For a monthly cost of at least $7, you need to have at least 100 calling minutes.

How many calling minutes are needed for a monthly cost of at most 8:

$C(x) \leq 8$

$4 + 0.10(x - 70) \leq 8$

$4 + 0.10x - 7 \leq 8$

$0.10x \leq 11$

$x \leq \frac{11}{0.1}$

$x \leq 110$

For a monthly cost of at most $8, you need to have at most 110 calling minutes.

For a monthly cost of at least $7 and at most $8, you can have between 100 and 110 calling minutes.
