Your cell phone company started a rewards club. for every three texts sent, you get 1515 points. you need 18001800 points for a prize. how many texts do you need to send to get that prize?

35,648

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Points scored for sending three texts = 1515

Total points needed to win the prize = 18001800

We need to find

Text needed to be sent to win the prize = x= ?

As per given info

3 texts sent give points = 1515

1 text sent give points = 1515/3

1 text sent give points = 505

Now we can use the following formula to calculate the total number of texts that need to be sent to win 18001800

Total Number of texts = Total Points needed to win the prize/ Points scored by sending a text

x= 18001800/505

x = 35,647.12 texts

this can be approximated to 35,648 texts to win the prize

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.

step-by-step explanation:

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24
