Answer:

<em>You should buy the watch from Store A because it's cheaper</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Store A sells a watch for $50 with a 5% discount.

Let's calculate the sale price. The 5% discount is

5/100*$50 = $2.50

The sale price is $50 - $2.50 = $47.50

Now for Store B. The price of the watch was $60 with a 20% discount.

Calculate 20% of $60:

20/100*$60 = $12

The sale price is $60 - $12 = $48

Thus, you should buy the watch from Store A because it's cheaper

When making a long distance call from a certain pay phone, the first three minutes of a call cost $2.10. After that, each additi
Sauron [17]

Answer: the number of minutes of long distance call that one can make is lesser than or equal to 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of minutes of long distance call that one makes.

The first three minutes of a call cost $2.10. After that, each additional minute or portion of a minute of that call cost $0.45. This means that if x minutes of long distance call is made, the total cost would be

2.10 + 0.45(x - 3)

Therefore, the inequality to find the number of minutes one can call long distance for $6.15 is expressed as

2.10 + 0.45(x - 3) ≤ 6.15

2.10 + 0.45x - 1.35 ≤ 6.15

0.75 + 0.45x ≤ 6.15

0.45x ≤ 6.15 - 0.75

0.45x ≤ 5.4

x ≤ 5.4/0.45

x ≤ 12

(Set up and solve the system, then answer the associated question)
Dimas [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • red division: 6 teams
  • blue division: 5 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let r and b represent the numbers of teams in the red and blue divisions, respectively. The total number of goals scored in each division will be the average for that division times the number of teams in that division.

  r - b = 1 . . . . . . there is 1 more red team than blue

  4.5r +4.2b = 48 . . . . . . total goals scored per week

__

Solving by substitution, we have ...

  r = b +1

  4.5(b +1) +4.2b = 48 . . . . substitute for r

  8.7b +4.5 = 48 . . . . . . . . simplify

  8.7b = 43.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.5

  b = 43.5/8.7 = 5 . . . . . divide by 8.7

  r = b +1 = 6 . . . . . . . . . find r

There are 6 red teams and 5 blue teams.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The basic idea is that you make an equation for each relation given in the problem statement. For a problem like this, you do need to have an understanding of how the average number of goals would be calculated and how that relates to the total goals.

Please help me solve this​

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.

Which means.. the equation is
8x-23+7x-7=90
Combine like terms you should get
15x-30=90
Add 30 on both sides
15x=120
Divide 15 x=8
Plug in 8 to (8x-23)
8(8)=64-23=41

The absolute value of y is further from 0.

Explanation:
The absolute value of any number is a positive. If the value of y is greater than x, then y would be further. Let’s input a number as an example. Let’s say that the absolute value of y was 9 and the absolute value of x is 4 due to the y value being larger. 4 is closer to 0 compared to 9 so the absolute value of y is further from 0.
