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

its C
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = |(-5)+1|
f(x)=|4|
absolute value of 4 is 4
She originally started with 23.
We can tell this by working the equation backwards. Since she has 5 left and she had just given half to her brother, we know she had 10 a moment ago.
Before that, Mary had eaten a cookie. So we add 1 to the total and now have 11.
Before eating that cookie, she has given half to her sister, which would give her 22.
And before giving half to her sister, she had eaten the first one, which would give us 23 to start with.
