Erick, Mia, and Isabelle golfed 9 holes. Erick scored 10 more than Mia, and Isabelle scored 16 less than twice Mia's score. Use
Rama09 [41]
Let Mia's score be x.  Then, Erick scored 10 more than Mia, so his score is x+10.  Isabelle scored 16 less than twice Mia's score, so her score is 2x-16.  We can see that x + x + 10 + 2x - 16 is the sum of these variables, so the expression represents the total of their scores in this scenario.  Moreover, we recall that the variable in the expression, x, represents Mia's score.

To simplify this expression, we add up the variables and the numbers separately, giving us x+x+10+2x-16 = (x+x+2x) + (10-16) = 4x-6.  Therefore, in simplified form, the expression is equal to 4x - 6.  The constant term in an expression is the term not multiplied by a variable, so in this case, it is -6.

Your cell phone plan charges a base charge each month plus a charge per daytime minute of usage and December used 510 daytime mi
algol13

Answer:

In February, 423 daytime minutes is used

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base plan charges be x

And cost per daytime minute be y

In December,

x  + 510y =  92.25------------------(1)

In January,

x + 397y = 77.56---------------------(2)

Subtracting eq(2) from eq(1)

x  + 510y =  92.25

x + 397y = 77.56

-------------------------------

0  + 113y = 14.69

-------------------------------

y = \frac{14.69}{113}

y =  0.13----------------------------------(3)

Substituting (3) in (1)

x  + 510(0.13) =  92.25

x + 66.3 = 92.25

x = 92.25 - 66.3

x = 25.95

So In February

base plan  + (daytime minute)(cost per daytime minute) = 80.9

25.95 + (daytime minute)(0.13) = 80.9

(daytime minute)(0.13) = 80.9 - 25.95

(daytime minute)(0.13) = 54.95

(daytime minute) =\frac{54.95}{0.13}

daytime minutes = 422.69

daytime minute  \approx 423

Jenna dances for 3 hours on sunday, 2 hours on Monday and Tuesday, 1 hour on THursday,1.5 hours oon friday, and 2 hours on Satur
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: The average number of hours she danced per day is 1.9 hours (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation: We start by calculating how many hours she danced all together which can be derived as follows;

Summation = 3 +2 +2 + 1 + 1.5 + 2 = 11.5

The number of days she danced which is the observed data is 6 days (she did  not dance at all on Wednesday).

The average (or mean) hours she danced each day can be calculated as

Average = ∑x ÷ x

Where ∑x is the summation of all data and x is number of observed data

Average = (3+2+2+1+1.5+2) ÷ 6

Average = 11.5 ÷ 6

Average = 1.9166

Approximately, average hours danced is 1.9 hours (to the nearest tenth)
