Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello There!
Once again we need to isolate the variable using inverse operations
to get rid of the -8.2 we add 8.2 to each side
-8.2+8.2 cancels out
-9.7+8.2=-1.5
now we have
-1.2z>-1.5
now we wan to get rid of the -1.2
to do so we want to divide each side by -1.2
Remember we have to flip the inequality sign because we're dividing by a negative number
we're left with
z<1.25
Answer:
x=2, y=16
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=18
y=8x
x+8x=18
x=2
y=16
Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y
This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643
The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y
Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44
Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243
Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400
Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243
D. Every other month you are paid, just estimate an amount times 6 and just pick the most realistic answer
