We need to call for x minute
+ Phone Company A charges a monthly fee of $42.50, and $0.02 for each minute talk time. So we have to spend: <span>$42.50+ $0.02x
+ </span>Phone company B charges a monthly fee of $25.00, and $0.09 for each minute of talk time. So we have to spend: <span>$25.00+ $0.09x
We solve for x: </span>$42.50+ $0.02x> <span>$25.00+ $0.09x
or </span>$42.50- $25.00 > $0.09x- <span>$0.02x
and we have $0.07x<$27.50
or x< 27.50:0.07 and x< 393.86
The answer is:
If we have to call much time, at least 394 minutes, we should choose A
If not, choose B</span>
They should receive 72 each 362 divided by 5 (number people)
Answer:
Is there a x somewhere or is that litteraly how the equation is?
If so, -7 multiplied by 2 is -14,
-1 times -7 is 7,
add it together and you get
-7=28,
you could add 7 to both sides or subtract 28 from both sides and you'll get either 0=35 or -35=0
which would make the solution false since both sides are not the same
You might have to do the quadratic formula
