2). Write an equation and solve. You will not be given credit for your answer if you do not include your equation! This month's cell phone bill was for $15.27 more than last month's cell phone bill. If this month's phone bill is for $72.50, how much was last month's cell phone bill?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation is:     x+15.27 = 72.50Solution to that equation:    x = 57.23Interpretation:   Last month's phone bill was $57.23

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

Explanation:

We'll make x the value of last month's phone bill. So if lets say x = 50, this means that last month's phone bill was $50. We don't know yet if x = 50 is the actual solution or not.

We're told that "This month's cell phone bill was for $15.27 more than last month's cell phone bill". This means this month's bill, in terms of x, is x+15.27 dollars. Whatever x is, we add 15.27 onto it getting this month's bill. This works because x is really a placeholder for a number.

Going back to x = 50, that would mean this months bill is x+15.27 = 50+15.27 = 65.27 dollars. We can see that we don't reach 72.50 that we're told the current months bill actually is. Since we don't have a match, this means x = 50 is too small. We can guess and check our way to hopefully land on the answer. However, using algebra is the most efficient method.

----------

The equation we need to solve is:   x+15.27 = 72.50

This is because x+15.27 represents this month's bill and so does the 72.50, as your teacher gave in the instructions.

To solve this equation, we'll undo the "plus 15.27" to isolate x fully. The opposite of addition is subtraction. We'll subtract 15.27 from both sides

x+15.27 = 72.50

x+15.27-15.27 = 72.50-15.27

x = 57.23

Last month's phone bill was $57.23

As a check, adding 15.27 onto last month's bill should get us to 72.50

x+15.27 = 57.23+15.27 = 72.50

It works out, so we've confirmed the answer.

A taxi hurries for 1 hour 54min with a constant speed of 93km and then for another 5 hours 15min with a constant speed of 72km. What distance did it go

Answers

Speed  = 93km /h  and  72km/h

Answer: The taxi went a distance of 554.7km

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed  = Distance / Time

Distance covered in the first trip = Speed x Time

Time = 1 hour 54 min =1+0.9 hours  =1.9hours

=93km / h x 1.9 hours =176.7km

Distance covered in the second  trip = Speed x Time

Time = 5 hours 15min = 5+0.25hours  =5.25hours

=72km / h x 5.25hours =378 km

Total distance =176.7km+378 km

=554.7km

18. State the slope and y-intercept of each linear equations.
a. 6(x + y) = 3(x - y)
b. 2(x + y) = 5(y + 1)
c. 5x + 10y - 20 = 0

Answers

Answer:

a. The slope is [tex]\frac{-1}{3}[/tex] and the y-intercept is 0

b. The slope is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and the y-intercept is [tex]-\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

c. The slope is [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex] and the y-intercept is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to find the slope and y-intercept is to put each equation in the slope-intercept form

That is:

y = mx = c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

Part a:

6(x+y) = 3(x-y)

2(x+y) = x-y

2x + 2y = x - y

3y = -x

[tex]y = \frac{-1}{3}x[/tex]

Comparing this with the general formula, we can conclude that:

The slope is [tex]\frac{-1}{3}[/tex] and the y-intercept is 0

Part b:

2(x+y) = 5(y+1)

2x + 2y = 5y + 5

3y = 2x - 5

[tex]y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Comparing this with general formula, we can conclude that:

The slope is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and the y-intercept is [tex]-\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Part c:

5x + 10y -20 = 0

10y = -5x + 20

[tex]y = \frac{-1}{2} x+2[/tex]

Comparing this with the general formula, we can conclude that:

The slope is [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex] and the y-intercept is 2

The radius of a circle is increased by 3 in., which increases the area by 100 in. Find the radius of the original circle. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

3.81 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

πr² + 100 = π(r+3)²

divide by π and simplify:

r² + (100/π) = r² + 6r + 9

100/π = r² + 6r + 9

31.8309886184 - 9 = r² +6r

r² = 6r - 22.8309886184

0 = 6r - 22.8309886184

22.8309886184 = 6r

Answers

Answer:

157 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shape is the sum of three sections

1. Rectangle

A = 5*14 = 70 in²

2. Bigger semicircle

A = 1/2π(14/2)² = 76.96 ≈ 77 in² (rounded)

3. Smaller semicircle

A = 1/2π(5/2)² = 9.8174 ≈ 10 in² (rounded)

Total area:

70 + 77 + 10 = 157 in²

answer:

157 inches²

step-by-step explanation:

we have to break this down into parts and find the area of each part and then add them up so we have the area for the whole thing

rectangle:

5 X 14 = 70 inches²

big semicircle:

solve this like a simple circle and then divide by 2 since this is half

area = πr²

insert what we know from the question

area = (3.14)(7)²

the radius would be seven because as you can see the length of a side of the rectangle is 14 and this is also the diameter of the circle since they are attached and share itthe radius is half of the diameter so we get 7

area = 3.14(49)

        = 153.86 inches²

now divide this by 2 since it is semicircle

153.86 / 2 = 76.93 inches²

small semicircle:

area = (3.14)(2.5)²

i followed the same method as last, except the numbers are different

area = 3.14(6.25)

        = 19.625 inches²

now divide by 2

19.625 / 2 = 9.8125 inches²

finally, add up all the separate areas you got

70 inches² + 76.93 inches² + 9.8125 inches²

= 156.7425 inches²

= 157 inches²

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M

   Denote the Left Denominator by  L_Deno

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 7

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = n

Making Equivalent Fractions :

3.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction, multiply the numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      7 • 7

  ——————————————————  =   —————

        L.C.M              7n

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

:

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now, to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplies both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 49-8n

 ————— • 7n = 0 • 7n

  7n  

Now, on the left-hand side, the  7n  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right-hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  49-8n  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.2      Solve  :    -8n+49 = 0

Subtract  49  from both sides of the equation :

                     -8n = -49

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  8n = 49

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

                    n = 49/8 = 6.125

One solution was found :

n = 49/8 = 6.125
