The function below can be used to calculate the cost of making a long distance call, f(m), which is based on a $2.50 initial charge and a fee of $.12 per minute, m, that the call lasts. if natalie paid $6.82 for one call, how many minutes long was it?

F(m) = 2.5 + 0.12m

if Natalie paid $6.82

6.82 = 2.5 + 0.12m
0.12m = 6.82 - 2.5
0.12m = 4.32
m = 4.32 ÷ 0.12
m = 36

The call was 36 minutes long.

The first one, i believe, would be correct. all the others have one thing in common, and that's that they have repeating numbers. in the second one, x and y have repeating 6's and 3's, and in the third, x and y have repeating 6's as well. in the last one, there are repeating 3's. the first one has no repeating numbers.
