Answer:
x = 6 months.
The equation is given by $45 + ($49.45 × x) = ($56.95 × x).
Step-by-step explanation:
i) Let x be the number of months of Internet Service purchased till the Fast
Internet charges and Quick Internet charges become the same.
ii) Charges for Fast Internet for x months is given by $45 + ($49.45 × x)
iii) Charges for Quick Internet for x months is given by ($56.95 × x)
iv) According to the first statement we will now equate the equations in ii)
and iii) and solve for x.
Therefore, $45 + ($49.45 × x) = ($56.95 × x)
45 + 49.45 x = 56.95 x
Therefore (56.95 - 49.45) x = 45
7.50 × x = 45
Therefore x = 45 ÷ 7.5 = 6
Since you need an isolated variable to use the substitution method, we need to re-arrange one of the equations. This will probably be easiest to do with the first one.
Add 5y to both sides of the first equation.
x=10+5y
Now, in the second equation, put in 10+5y in any spot that has an x.
2(10+5y)-10y=20
Distribute the 2 to both numbers in the parenthesis.
20+10y-10y=20
Combine like terms.
20=20
This means that the two equations are actually the same. You can see this if you multiply the whole first equation by 2
2(x-5y=10)
2x-10y=20, which is the same as the second equation. Therefore, the two equations are actually the same one.
That will be 295.25 how ?? You multiply 8.75 by 40 then subtract 55.75 =295.25
Y would be 16,
y=kx
6=3k
2=k
y=2(8)
y=16
277 good luck on whatever you need this for
