The answer to this problem is A
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. Multiplication
Step-by-Step Explanation:
This problem is testing your knowledge of the Order of Operations. Here is the correct order:
Exponents (inside parenthesis)- There are no exponents for you to solve in this expression, so just ignore this step for now. (example: (4 + 2²) --> (4 + 4))
Parenthesis (from left to right)- In this case, you would solve the expressions inside the parenthesis <em>first</em> because there are no exponents.
Multiplication and Division (from left to right outside of parenthesis)- After solving the expressions inside the parenthesis, there will be one multiplication you need to solve next.
Addition and Subtraction (from left to right outside of parenthesis)- The only operation left for you to do now is addition. You can either do this in one whole step, or you can divide it into two steps. I've done it in two to keep it simple.
Here is the problem worked out in steps in case you are confused:
Step 1: Parenthesis
(-8 ÷ 4) + 5 + 4(3 - 6)
(-2) + 5 + 4(-3)
Step 2: Multiplication
-2 + 5 + 4(-3)
-2 + 5 + (-12)
Step 3: Addition
-2 + 5 + (-12)
3 + (-12)
-9
(Note: '3 + (-12)' could also be written as '3 - 12', making it a subtraction instead of an addition)
Hope this helps!
Answer:
v=32/3
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply both sides by 4
40,000 = 4 * 10^4
0.000004 = 4 * 10^-6
The power of 10 exactly in between 4 and -6 is -1.
She started with 4 * 10^(-1) which is 0.4.
0.4 * 100,000 = 40,000
0.4/100,000 = 0.000004
The number she started with is 0.4.
The power is 10^5.
