Answer:
(5,7,8.6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a line on each the x axis and the y axis which intersects at a right triangle. The x axis line is 7 squares and the y axis is 5 squares. Now you can use the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
7^2+5^2=c^2
49+25=c^2
74=c^2
8.6=c
Answer:
|x + 6| = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
|x - b| = c
b is the centre: (-4-8)/2 = -6
b = -6
c is the distance from the centre
-6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2
Or,
-4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2
| x - (-6)| = 2
|x + 6| = 2
Answer:
2p-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-4p-(1-6p)
when there is "-" in front of an expression, change the sign of each term of the expression.
-4p -1 + 6p
-4p + 6p =2p
2p -1
Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y
This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643
The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y
Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44
Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243
Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400
Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243
