Answer:

A → C = 150h + 250 ( where C is charge )

B → C = 175h + 150

for 26 hours

A → C = (150 × 26 ) + 250 = 3900 + 250 = $4150

B → C = (175 × 26 ) + 150 = 4550 + 150 = $4700

Attorney A is cheaper for 26 hours, thus better deal

Equate the 2 equations to find hours they charge the same

175h + 150 = 150h + 250 ( subtract 150h from both sides )

25h + 150 = 250 ( subtract 150 from both sides )

25h = 100 ( divide both sides by 25 )

h = 4 ← number of hours when charges for both are equal

Attorney A becomes a better deal at 5 hours

Which statements are true about the ordered pair (2, 3) and the system of equations?

mel-nik [20]

substitute the ordered pair (2, 3 ) into the 2 equations

(3 × 2 ) + (4 × 3 ) = 6 + 12 = 18 → True

(2 × 2 ) - (2 × 3 ) = 4 - 6 = - 2 → False

Hence the ordered pair (2, 3 ) is not a solution to the system of linear equations.

When (2, 3 ) is substituted into the first equation, the equation is true.

When (2, 3 ) is substituted into the second equation, the equation is false.

A regular decagon has a side length of 4 centimeters long if the decagon is divided into 10 congruent triangles each has an appr

ratelena [41]

Area of decagon is given by:
Area=1/2(nsr)
where:
n=number of sides
s=side length
r=height
thus the area will be given by:
Area=1/2(10*4*6.2)
Area=124 cm^2

Hope I can be of assistance!

$3^2b^2c^{-4}\cdot \:3^{-1}b^{-5}c^7 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\ \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}$
$3^{-1}\cdot \:3^2=\:3^{2-1}=\:3^1=\:3 \ \textgreater \ 3b^{-5}b^2c^{-4}c^7$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}: \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c} \ \textgreater \ b^{-5}b^2=\:b^{2-5}=\:b^{-3}$
$3b^{-3}c^{-4}c^7$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}: \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c} \ \textgreater \ c^{-4}c^7=\:c^{-4+7}=\:c^3$
$3b^{-3}c^3$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}: \:a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b} \ \textgreater \ b^{-3}=\frac{1}{b^3} \ \textgreater \ 3\cdot \frac{1}{b^3}c^3$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}: \:a\cdot \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\:\cdot \:b}{c} \ \textgreater \ \frac{1\cdot \:3c^3}{b^3}$

Finally
$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:1\cdot \:a=a \ \textgreater \ \frac{3c^3}{b^3}$

Hope this helps!

An interior angle of a regular polygon has a measure of 135° how many sides does it have

butalik [34]

8 sides

the exterior angle = 180° - 135° = 45° ( exterior/ interior are supplementary )

the sum of the exterior angles of a polygon = 360°

number of sides = $\frac{360}{45}$ = 8
