Question

how about this Trevor's dad decided to get him a cell phone for his birthday. Cell Plus has a plan that costs $25.00 per month plus an additional $0.06 per minute. Cell Best has a plan that costs $30.00 per month plus an additional $0.05 per minute. How many minutes can Trevor talk and both cell plans cost the same amount?

100

1000

500

50
Answer: 50


.6x+25=.5x+30
-.5x -.5x
------------------------
.1x+25=30
-25 -25
------------------
.1x=5

x=50

OR

$0.05 x 500 = $25 + $30 = $55

$0.06 x 500 = $30 + $25 = $55

Answer 3

You are on the right track, but be careful with little details.
This is the equation you must solve.
0.06x+25=0.05x+30

Answer 4

but i got to differ answers

Answer 5

0.06x + 25 = 0.05x + 30
-0.05x =0.05x
--------------------------
0.01x + 25 = 30
-25 -25
--------------------------
0.01x = 5
/0.01 /0.01
x = 500

Answer 9

Right, now you got it.
All you need to do is solve the correct equation just like you solved your equation.
You solved your equation correctly. Your mistake was simply using 0.6 and 0.5 instead of 0.06 and 0.05.
Your second answer is correct. It's 500 minutes.

The graph below is represented by which system of inequalities?



-x + 3y < 9
y > -2x + 1

-x + 3y 9
y > -2x + 1

-x + 3y < 9
y -2x + 1

None of these systems represent the graph shown.
