<h3>
Answer: n+15</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
- n = number of minutes
- cost of company X = 3n+30
- cost of company Y = 2n+15
To find out how much more company X charges, we subtract the two cost expressions
CompanyX - CompanyY = (3n+30)-(2n+15) = 3n+30-2n-15 = n+15 which is the final answer.
--------------
An example:
Let's say you talk on the phone for n = 20 minutes.
Company X would charge you 3n+30 = 3*20+30 = 90 cents
Company Y would charge you 2n+15 = 2*20+15 = 55 cents
The difference of which is 90-55 = 35 cents.
If you plugged n = 20 into the n+15 expression we got, then n+15 = 20+15 = 35 matches up with the previous 35 cents.
This example helps confirm the answer. I'll let you try out other examples.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
3 ft
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
The statue's height is 1.5 times the length of its shadow, so we expect the same relationship for the globe.
... 1.5 × 2 ft = 3 ft
_____
<em>Comment on the problem</em>
As a practical matter, with the sun high enough in the sky to cast a shadow shorter than the object's height, it will be quite difficult to measure the length of the shadow of the point at the top of the globe. The shadow of other parts of the globe will interfere.
