Answer:

260 miles
$73.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of each plan (y) is the sum of the initial fee and the product of the mileage charge and the number of miles (x).

First Plan: y = 40 +0.13x

Second Plan: y = 53 +0.08x

We can find when the costs are the same by solving this system of equations. A way to do that is to subtract the second equation from the first:

(y) -(y) = (40 +0.13x) -(53 +0.08x)

0 = -13 +0.05x

Multiplying by 20 gives ...

0 = -260 +x

Adding 260, we have ...

x = 260

The plans cost the same for 260 miles of driving.

The cost of the plans for that distance is ...

y = 40 +0.13x = 40 +0.13(260) = 40 +33.80

y = 73.80

The cost when the two plans cost the same is $73.80.

Answer:

Part 1) $180\ hours$

Part 2) There are about $298\ catfish$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

1 month=4 weeks

Let

x------> the number of hours of practice for three months

Convert months to weeks

3 months=3(4)=12 weeks

using proportion

$\frac{45}{3}\frac{hours}{weeks} =\frac{x}{12}\frac{hours}{weeks}\\ \\ x=45*12/3\\ \\x=180\ hours$

that means------> In three months (12 weeks) the pianist practice 180 hours

Part 2)

Let

x------> the number of bass

y------> the number of catfish

we know that

Using proportion

$\frac{10}{7}\frac{bass}{catfish} =\frac{425}{y}\frac{bass}{catfish} \\ \\y=425*7/10\\ \\y=297.5\ catfish$

There are about $298\ catfish$
