This is what I have came up with so far, but it says to plug in another value for x in number 2, what does this mean?
1. So the equation to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is simply to take the temp in F, subtract it by 32 and then divide that value by 1.8. So Temp in Celsius= (F-32)/1.8. In Aurora, Illinois the record high temp on Nov 28 was broken when the weather reached 65F on that day.
2. The monthly phone bill (B) using 1000 anytime minutes is 50.00 Any additional minute, X, used during the month will be charged $0.10/minute and is added to the monthly bill.
So the equation used would be:
B= 50+ .10X
So if 1025 minutes are used one month then the bill for that month would be
B= 50.00+ .10*(1025-1000) which equals $52.50
2. So just plug in another value for x.
When it says to "plug in another value for x" in your context, it means that you need to substitute a different value into the equation in order to find the corresponding result. In this case, you are given the equation B = 50 + 0.10X to calculate the monthly phone bill, where X represents the number of additional minutes used.
To find the bill for a specific number of minutes used, you need to substitute the value of X into the equation and perform the necessary calculations.
For example, if you want to find the bill when 1025 minutes are used, you would substitute X = 1025 into the equation:
B = 50 + 0.10 * (1025 - 1000)
Simplifying this expression:
B = 50 + 0.10 * 25
B = 50 + 2.50
B = 52.50
So, the bill for that month would be $52.50.
To "plug in another value for x," you can repeat this process with different values of X to find the corresponding bills for different scenarios or amounts of additional minutes used.
