M + 5n = 7
subtract 5n from each side
m = -5n + 7
Answer:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
x = 11 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of hours = x
Total cost = y
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost
The equations are:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
solve the equation to find for how many hours the total cost of the services is equal.
Equate total cost of both services
20 + 4x = 9 + 5x
Collect like terms
20 - 9 = 5x - 4x
11 = x
x = 11 hours
Check:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
= 20 + 4(11)
= 20 + 44
= 64
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
= 9 + 5(11)
= 9 + 55
= 64
She would have to pay $30.53
24x.6=1.44
24+1.44=25.44
25.44/.2=5.088
25.44+5.09 (you had to round it up because it's money)
Which equals 30.53
I hoped this helped :)
