Craig earns the same amount of money each month. His telephone bill is 1/20 of his monthly earnings, and he pays a total of $720 each year for his telephone service. How much does Craig earn each month, in dollars? Question 3 options:

$1,200

$1,600

$60

$120

Hello! 1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

We know he pays 720 in a year so i divide that by 12 so... 720 ÷ 12 = 60 so he pays 60 each month for his telephone service since thats only 1/20 of his earning what I do is 60 × 20 and we get 1200 so craig makes 1200 a month hope that helps!

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
