HELP for his long distance phone service, tony pays a $5 monthly fee plus 9 cents per minute. last month, Tony's long distance bill was $17.96. for how many minutes was Tony billed?

144 min.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=0.09x+5    ( x is the number of minutes, y is the bill amount)

17.96=0.09x+5

17.96-5=0.09x

x=12.96/0.09=144 minutes

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
