In constructing the equation, you need to know the following:
1. What don't we know? How many minutes you must talk to have the same cost for both calling plans. So, let x be the number of minutes.
2. What do we know? Plan 1 charges $17.50 per month plus $0.17 per minute used and Plan 2 charges $32 per month plus $0.07 per minute used.
So the equation must look like this: 17.50 + .17x = 32 + 0.07x
Solving the equation:
1. Multiply both sides by 100
(100) 17.5 + .17x = 32 + 0.07x (100)
1750 + 17x = 3200 + 7x
2. Subtract 1750 from both sides
1750 + 17x - 1750 = 3200 + 7x - 1750
17x = 7x +1450
3. Subtract 7x from both sudes
17x - 7x = 7x + 1450 - 7x
10x = 1450
4. Divide both sides by 100
10x / 10 = 1450/10
x= 145 minutes
145 minutes is the number of minutes you must talk to have the same cost for both calling plans.
Answer:
C. -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope through rise/run.
Notice that every perfect point is away from each other and you need to go up 3 times and left once.
so the slope is rise/run = 3/-1 or -3/1 or -3
Answer:
x= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
5.(x+3) = 2x-3
5x+15=2x-3
5x-2x+15=-3
5x-2x=-3-15
3x=-3-15
3x=-18
x=-6
Explain the question better please so we can try to help
Answer:
a) -5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is fundamentally rise/run; The points on the line are relative to each other by decreasing/increasing the y-value of +/-5 and decreasing/increasing the x-value by +/-4
The function is decreasing so the slope has to be negative.
The only possible answer choice is -5/4 or a.
