Let other one be x

ATQ

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x+\dfrac{-8}{17}=-8$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto\dfrac{17x-8}{17}=-8$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 17x-8=17(-8)=-136$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 17x=-136+8$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 17x=-128$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{-128}{17}$

Kendra is considering two different long-distance phone plans. Phone plan A charges a $100 sign-up fee and 3 cents per minute. P

Fed [463]

Answer:

Part 1) The number of minutes in a month must be greater than 50 in order for the plan A to be preferable

Part 2) The number of minutes in a month must be equal to 50 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

Part 1) How many minutes would Kendra have to use in a month in order for the plan A to be preferable? Round your answer to the nearest minute

Part 2) Enter the number of minutes where Kendra will pay the same amount for each long distance phone plan

Part 1)

Let

x ---> the number of minutes

we have

$3x+100$

$5x$

we know that

In order for plan A to be cheaper than plan B, the following inequality must hold true.

cost of plan A < cost of plan B

substitute

$3x+100 < 5x$

solve for x

subtract 3x both sides

$100< 5x-3x\\100$

divide by 2 both sides

$50 < x$

Rewrite

$x> 50\ min$

therefore

The number of minutes in a month must be greater than 50 in order for the plan A to be preferable

Part 2)

Let

x ---> the number of minutes

we have

$3x+100$

$5x$

we know that

In order for plan A cost the same than plan B, the following equation must hold true.

cost of plan A = cost of plan B

substitute

$3x+100= 5x$

solve for x

$5x-3x=100\\2x=100\\x=50\ min$

therefore

The number of minutes in a month must be equal to 50 minutes

Find the unknow measures of y and x.

Yanka [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x = 2 m

y = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths of ΔDEF are 3/9 = 1/3 of those of ΔABC.

x = DF = 1/3(AB) = (1/3)(6 m)

x = 2 m

Angle measures of ΔDEF are the same as those of the corresponding angles of ΔABC.

y = ∠B = ∠E = 30°

y = 30°
