Answer:
i feel this is an incomplete picture
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is move the denominator on the other side, by multiplying.
a-10
------- = -9
20
multiply 20 x -9
= -180
then it becomes a-10=-180
+10 +10
a=-170
Answer: cube root.
Cube root is the only one from the four functions given that has range from negative infinity to infinity.
Assuming that the cost per minute is the same for both months and the plan fee is the same, you can use y=mx+b for this
y is the cost of the phone plan, x is the cost per minute and b is the start cost.
so 19.41=25x+b for the first month
and 45.65=380x+b for the second month
solve both for b you get:
19.41-25x=b and 45.65-380x=b. from this we get
19.41-25x=45.65-380x
solve for x
328x=26.24 and x=0.08
this means the cost per minute is 0.08c/min (answer A)
rewrite the equation to calculate b, and where this time, the x is the number of minutes talked.
y=0.08x+b and plug in one of the two months
45.65=0.08 * 380 + b
Solve for b and b is 15.25
so the final equation is
y=0.08x+15.25 (answer B)
