Answer:
c = 150p + 1000
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the variable cost is 150 per phone, so the total cost will be ...
c = 150p +b . . . . for some value b
We also know the value of c for 8 phones, so we can find b:
2200 = 150(8) + b
2200 -1200 = b = 1000
Then the desired equation is ...
c = 150p + 1000
Let's start by solving the first equation.
a) -3 = 7 + 2t/3
To begin simplifying this equation, we should multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the denominator on the right side of the equation.
-9 = 7 + 2t
Next, we should subtract 7 from both sides to cancel out the 7 on the right side.
-16 = 2t
Finally, we should divide both sides by 2.
t= -8
Now let's move on to the next equation.
b) 4(5x-2) = 7(2x+3)
Let's use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses and their coefficients.
20x-8 = 14x + 21
Now, lets subtract 14x from both sides of the equation.
6x - 8 = 21
Next, let's add 8 to both sides of the equation.
6x = 29
And divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 6.
x = 29/6 or 4 5/6
Now for the last equation.
C) 2x - 6 = 20 - 2.5x
First, we should add 2.5x to both sides to cancel out the -2.5x on the right side of the equation.
4.5x - 6 = 20
Now, let's add 6 to both sides to get the variable term alone.
4.5x = 26
Finally, we should divide both sides by 4.5 to get x by itself.
x = 5 7/9
Hope this helps! :)
