To skate at Roller Heaven, each person must pay a membership fee (m) and a fee for each session (f). Art attended 5 sessions and paid $25 in all. Later, when he had attended 10 sessions, he paid $40 in all. How much is the membership fee and how much are the sessions.

Write a system of two equations with the variables m and f in each to represent this problem.

Please show work and solve! (: Thats what it says ^^ PLEAAASEEEE????

anonymous · Answer

m+5f=25
m+10f=40

subtract the first equation from the second

5f=15
f=3
m=10

anonymous · Answer

let me know if you have any questions

anonymous · Answer

Hmmmmm so with this one... seems exactly the same? is it?

Show how to solve this, using any method.

anonymous · Answer

it is the same question exactly if I'm reading correctly

anonymous · Answer

Hmmm hold on i will check the intructions for the problems ..... maybe they are different...?

anonymous · Answer

k check and let me know

anonymous · Answer

Ohh okay so you are supposed to only write the sytem of equations for 1 and then solve for the other!! haha okay so u answered 2 questions in 1 nice (: lol

anonymous · Answer

:)

anonymous · Answer

rv, you dont have to pay membership fee twice

anonymous · Answer

no, but it is included in the total fee after 10 sessions as well i think

anonymous · Answer

question is not well defined

anonymous · Answer

Ohhh...... (: 
Oh and for this problem:

The sides of a triangle have measures of x, x, and y, and the perimeter of the triangle is 46. The measure y is 4 centimeters longer than the measure x. Write two equations which represent the two sentences.

my equations were : 

x + x + y = 46
y = x + 4

anonymous · Answer

correct? (:

anonymous · Answer

yeah that is correct. did you solve?

anonymous · Answer

Nope :P I always just lose my focus at that part :P Not good with math. Writing is more my thing >.<

anonymous · Answer

:P I gotta go pee pee!!! brb!!! ^_^

anonymous · Answer

well I like math and not writing so I'll help.  You can substitute x+4 for y in the first equation, so you have x+x+x+4=46
3x=42
x=14
y=14+4
y=18

anonymous · Answer

I'm heading to bed actually, I'll talk to you later.  Bye :)

Ahwww okay ;( byeeeeeee
