Question

Cable company A charges $45 a month for cable plus a $18 installation fee. Cable B charges $39 a month for cable plus a $30 fee for installation. Which inequality can be used to find out when the monthly cost for Cable company A is less than Cable company B?

a)39x+30<45x+18

b) 45x+18>39x+30

c) 45x+18<39x+30

d)39x+18<45x+30

c) 45x+18<39x+30

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We have to find the Algebraic expressions for the cable companies

Cable company A charges $45 a month for cable plus a $18 installation fee.

Let the number of months be represented as x

Hence, this is represented as:

$45 × x + $18

= 45x + 18

Cable B charges $39 a month for cable plus a $30 fee for installation.

Let the number of months be represented as x

Hence, this is represented as:

$39 × x + $30

= 39x + 30

The inequality that can be used to find out when the monthly cost for Cable company A is less than Cable company B?

= Cable company A < Cable company B

= 45x + 18 < 39x + 30

Therefore option c is correct

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
