The expression for the cost of the ABC Book Club is 2x + 40. The expression for the cost of the Easy Book Club is 3x + 35. To find when the total charge for both book clubs is equal, the two expressions must equal each other. (x = the number of books read)
2x + 40 = 3x + 35
Subtract 35 from both sides.
2x + 5 = 3x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
5 = x
So, the total charge for each club is equal when 5 books are read.
Start by writing it out like this:
17.50
<u>* 2.48 </u>
Make sure that all the places are in correct order. Notice that I added a ZERO in the place that had nothing there.
Move the decimal point so everything is a whole number. You have moved it 4 times.
Now, starting from 8, multiply it by 0, then 5, then 7, and lastly, 1. Now go to the next number (4) and do the same, this time though, put a zero in the first spot. Every new number, add another zero.
After you are done, add them up. Now move the decimal point starting from the right and into the number 4 times. Take out the zeros.
Your answer should be: 43.4
wqual because you round 0.6 to 1 and 0.4 to 0 so 2+1 is 3
Can we get a picture or something?
