Answer 3

let me take a look

Answer 4

okay lets write an equation for how much A will cost

Answer 5

can u show me how its supposed to be solve,

Answer 6

how abouuuuuuuuuttttt.
COST=93

Answer 7

yes i will show you

Answer 8

next lets write an equation for B

Answer 9

COST=65+.7m

Answer 10

ok how

Answer 11

you pay .7 for the miles you drive so we want to multiply our miles by .7

Answer 12

what do i put then

Answer 13

and the 65 just gets added on

Answer 14

now we want to see when A is less than B

Answer 15

A < B

Answer 16

well now we know what A and B are
A is 93
and B is 65+.7m

Answer 17

so why don't you plug them in to A<B and see what you get

Answer 18

so how its solved

Answer 19

no, for now just take 93 and 65+.7m and put them into our A<B

Answer 20

how will it be writtrn

Answer 21

yes

Answer 22

you tell me

Answer 23

93<65+.7m

Answer 24

awesome, now can you do some work to get M by itself?

Answer 25

lets start by moving that 65 to the other side. how do we do that?

Answer 26

idk how, i got a minute left for the right answer

Answer 27

93-65<.7m
28<.7m
28/.7<m
40<m

Answer 28

is it 40<m

Answer 29

when the miles are greater than 40 you are paying less for A

Answer 30

m>40

Answer 31

can u help with this one
For his phone service, Hong pays a monthly fee of
$16
, and he pays an additional
$0.05
per minute of use. The least he has been charged in a month is
$76.45
.
What are the possible numbers of minutes he has used his phone in a month?
Use
m
for the number of minutes, and solve your inequality for
m

Answer 33

i'll help you with making the equation but do you know how to do algebra?

Answer 34

yes

Answer 35

i just need help with the equation

Answer 36

okay when i show you how to make the equation i need you to finish it

Answer 37

k i will

Answer 38

so he pays .05 per minute

Answer 39

that means multiply .05 by minutes (m)

Answer 40

then just add 16 to get
16+0.05m

Answer 41

this will get you your cost AND

Answer 42

\[76.45 \le COST\]

Answer 43

so theres not inequality sign

Answer 44

\[76.45 \le 16+0.05m\]
solve for m

Answer 45

i have one last one....

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of
$37
and an additional fee of
$9.30
per hour. The film club wants to spend at most
$120.70
on renting the meeting room.
What are the possible amounts of time for which they could rent the meeting room?
Use
t
for the number of hours the meeting room is rented, and solve your inequality for
t

Answer 46

@camper4834

Answer 47

\[(reservation fee) + (additional fee) * (h) \le 120.70\]
