3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x(6+3)=27, shed have 1 inch left over
First you need to set up an equation y = mx + b. m would be the monthly charge and b would be the one time fee. x represents the number of months.
To solve for the number of months with a total price of 240 we substitute 240 in for y and solve for x.
240 = 25x + 40
subtract 40 from each side
200= 25x
divide by 25
8 = x
8 months
10 + 7r = 45
7r = 35
r = 5
5 miles
Answer:
x = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked angles are supplementary, so their sum is 180°.
(2x +8) +(2x +4) = 180
4x +12 = 180 . . . . . . . . . simplify
x +3 = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 4 (because we can)
x = 42 . . . . . . subtract 3

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "two-step" linear equation like this one is usually solved by subtracting the unwanted constant, then dividing by the coefficient of the variable. Here, we have done those steps in reverse order. This makes the numbers smaller and eliminates the coefficient of the variable. Sometimes I find it easier to solve the equation this way.
