Answer: Choice A) z

==========================================================

Explanation:

x and y are two integers, with x being nonzero

This means x/y is rational as long as y is nonzero as well. If y = 0, then we have a division by zero error. Try something like 1/0 on your calculator and you'll find it doesn't work.

Similarly, y/x is rational as well. Any rational number is simply dividing two integers as a fraction like this. Other examples include stuff like 1/2, 4/5, 8/17, and so on.

Since y is an integer, this means we can write it like this: y = y/1. This shows any integer is also rational, but not the other way around. A fraction like 2/3 is rational but not an integer.

All of what was discussed above indicates that choices B, C and D can be ruled out. The only thing left is choice A. The variable z isn't defined, so it's not clear what it is exactly. But it's likely the answer as it's the only thing left after the eliminations.

Need help with this question please!

I would say it is A because if you subtract <em>p,</em> the original price by $2.50, you would get <em>d, </em>the discounted price. Look at B u see that you're adding the discount which doesn't make sense. Looking at C, the discounted price of different prices can't always be the same. And finally, D, the discounted price is greater than the original. Also, if you subtract you would get different discounts.

You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a fee of $12 plus a monthly fee of $28. Club B offers me
EleoNora [17]

A has fixed one time fee of $12 and if you go to it say "m" months you pay $28 for each month, so your total cost at A is really 12 + 28m.

B has a fixed one time fee of $20 and if you go to it "m" months you pay $26 for each month, so you total cost at B is 20 + 26m.

how many months for the cost to be the same?

\stackrel{A}{12+28m}=\stackrel{B}{20+26m}\implies 12+2m=20\implies 2m=8\implies m=\cfrac{8}{2}\implies m=4

well, since the cost for both is the same, we can just get A's, knowing that B is the same

12+28(4)\implies 12+112\implies 124
