Answer 1
Answer: It seems confusing, but it's just breaking down the steps for you. It's done the same as any other word problem.
a. The unknown is how many minutes she used beyond the plan. So, we'll use "m" for the variable, to represent minutes.
b. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
   The 73.40 is the total, which is why it's by itself. 65 represents the price per month for the plan, and 0.10m is the price per extra minute multiplied by the unknown amount of minutes used.
c. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
     8.40 = 0.10m
       84 = m
d. The number of minutes that Allegra went over the time that the plan allows is found by solving the equation we just wrote and solved. $0.10 is paid for every minute past the plan's allowance, meaning that "m" in the equation, when solved, shows us exactly how many minutes over Allegra went.

-8-11 = -19

The vertical lines are for the absolute value, which is always a positive number.

The answer would become 19.


The answer is D.


Hi,

-8 - 11 = -19

The 2 lines at the beginning and the end equal the positive value of the number.

-19 ------> 19

Answer:

19

Adam has £500 Beth has £130 Adam gives some money to Beth. He now has twice as much money as Beth. What percentage of his money did he give away?

Answers

Adam = £500
Beth = £130.

Let the money Adam gives Beth be x.

So Adam would have 500 -x.
Beth would then have  130 + x.

Adam now has twice as much as Beth.

     500 - x = 2*(130 + x)
     500 - x = 2*130 + 2*x
     500 - x = 260 + 2x
     - x - 2x  = 260 - 500
        -3x  = - 240

           x = -240/-3
           x    = 80

So Adam gave £80 to Beth.

To find the %:         (80 / 500) * 100%.      Use your calculator.

                                = 16 %.

So Adam gave away 16% of his money to Beth.

Solve for N.
-7 + N = 20

Answers

add 7 to both sides.
-7+N=20
+7 +7
N=27
answer= 27
hope it helps.......
You would have to add 7 on both sides, cancelling the -7 on the side of the N and adding 7
To the 20 to get N=27

True or False: The origin would be included in the solution set for the inequality: y < 2x - 5

Answers

Sorry. That inequality would not include the origin.

It says that 'y' is everything less than x-5 .

When x=0, the origin is at y=0, but the limit of the inequality is way down at -5.
0<2\cdot0-5\n 0<0-5\n 0<-5\n

False.
