<h3>Answer: n+15</h3>

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

Explanation:

n = number of minutes
cost of company X = 3n+30
cost of company Y = 2n+15

To find out how much more company X charges, we subtract the two cost expressions

CompanyX - CompanyY = (3n+30)-(2n+15) = 3n+30-2n-15 = n+15 which is the final answer.

--------------

An example:

Let's say you talk on the phone for n = 20 minutes.

Company X would charge you 3n+30 = 3*20+30 = 90 cents

Company Y would charge you 2n+15 = 2*20+15 = 55 cents

The difference of which is 90-55 = 35 cents.

If you plugged n = 20 into the n+15 expression we got, then n+15 = 20+15 = 35 matches up with the previous 35 cents.

This example helps confirm the answer. I'll let you try out other examples.

I hope this helps you

-3x+2y= -10

3x-2y=14

-3x+2y+3x-2y= -10+14

0+0= 6

0=6 false it's not inconsistent

Describe and correct the error the student made when writing the equation of the line that passes through (-8,5)

pshichka [43]

Option D (The student should have used as the slope of the perpendicular line.) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify the error that the student made in finding equation of the line that passes through (-8,5) and is perpendicular to y = 4x + 2

The slope of the required line would me -1/m because both lines are perpendicular.

So, slope of new line will be: -1/4

because the equation of slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope

Now, for finding equation the student used point slope form i.e $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

where y_1 and x_1 are the points and m is the slope.

Putting values:

x_1=-8, y_1=5 and m=-1/4

$y-5=-\frac{1}{4}(x-(-8))\\y-5=-\frac{1}{4}(x+8)\\y-5=-\frac{1x}{4}-2\\y=-\frac{1x}{4}-2+5\\y=-\frac{1x}{4}+3$

This is the correct solution.

The student made error by using the wrong slope he used 2 instead of -1/4

in the step $y-5 = 2(x-(-8))$

So, Option D (The student should have used as the slope of the perpendicular line.) is correct.

Which postulate proves that the triangles below are similar?

Molodets [167]

Answer:

AA~

Step-by-step explanation:

These triangles are similar but not congruent. One triangle is bigger than the other, meaning none of the side lengths are the same. On the triangles, two angles are given, a 53 degree and a 90 meaning that you would us the AA rule to determine if they are similar. Which they are.
