Algebra.Com's Answer #446250 by nerdybill(7384)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! One music company charges a $15 membership fee and $0.75 each to download a song. Another company charges $.90 per song to download a song (no membership fee). \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Let x = number of songs downloaded \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "1st company: \n" ); document.write( ".75x + 15 \n" ); document.write( "2nd company: \n" ); document.write( ".90x \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "For what number of songs will both companies charge the same amount? \n" ); document.write( "set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x: \n" ); document.write( ".75x + 15 = .90x \n" ); document.write( "15 = .15x \n" ); document.write( "15/.15 = x \n" ); document.write( "100 songs = x \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "How much will it cost when each company charges the same amount? \n" ); document.write( "plug above into: \n" ); document.write( ".90x \n" ); document.write( ".90(100) \n" ); document.write( "$90 \n" ); document.write( " |
