Algebra.Com's Answer #798894 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! C(x)=30+0.50(x-60)<=50 \n" ); document.write( "0.50(x-60)<=20 \n" ); document.write( "0.5x-30<=20 \n" ); document.write( "0.5x < =50 \n" ); document.write( "x <= 100 minutes \n" ); document.write( "100 minutes is the answer. \n" ); document.write( " |
