9x + 4= 5x + 20 (alternate interior angles)
9x-5x =20-4
4x = 16
x= 16/4
x= 4
It seems confusing, but it's just breaking down the steps for you. It's done the same as any other word problem.
a. The unknown is how many minutes she used beyond the plan. So, we'll use "m" for the variable, to represent minutes.
b. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
The 73.40 is the total, which is why it's by itself. 65 represents the price per month for the plan, and 0.10m is the price per extra minute multiplied by the unknown amount of minutes used.
c. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
8.40 = 0.10m
84 = m
d. The number of minutes that Allegra went over the time that the plan allows is found by solving the equation we just wrote and solved. $0.10 is paid for every minute past the plan's allowance, meaning that "m" in the equation, when solved, shows us exactly how many minutes over Allegra went.
Answer:
m = 2, n = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2m + 3n = - 5 → (1)
5m + 3n = 1 → (2)
Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate n
2m - 5m = - 5 - 1
- 3m = - 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
m = 2
Substitute m = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for n
Substituting into (1)
2(2) + 3n = - 5
4 + 3n = - 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
3n = - 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )
n = - 3
Answer:
M < P < N
Step-by-step explanation:
Greater angles oppose sides of greater length.
