Algebra First-degree equations
Let x be the charge, in dollars, of each additional service. Determine the value of (60)(0.5) + 3x, or equivalently, determine the value of x.
The table below shows the value of x for each of the three possible massages that Jordan had.
From the table it follows that there are two possible values of x, namely x = 7.5 and x = 2.5; NOT sufficient.
The table below shows the value of x for each of the three possible massages that Ryan had.
From the table it follows that there are three possible values of x, namely x = 22.5, x = 15, and x = 7.5; NOT sufficient.
Given (1) and (2), it follows that x = 7.5.
The correct answer is C;both statements together are sufficient.
Let x be the charge, in dollars, of each additional service. Determine the value of (60)(0.5) + 3x, or equivalently, determine the value of x.
The table below shows the value of x for each of the three possible massages that Jordan had.
Massage | Total charge | x |
30-minute | 15 + 3x = 37.50 | 7.50 |
60-minute | 30 + 3x = 37.50 | 2.50 |
90-minute | 45 + 3x = 37.50 | −2.50 |
From the table it follows that there are two possible values of x, namely x = 7.5 and x = 2.5; NOT sufficient.
The table below shows the value of x for each of the three possible massages that Ryan had.
Massage | Total charge | x |
30-minute | 15 + 2x = 60 | 22.50 |
60-minute | 30 + 2x = 60 | 15.00 |
90-minute | 45 + 2x = 60 | 7.50 |
From the table it follows that there are three possible values of x, namely x = 22.5, x = 15, and x = 7.5; NOT sufficient.
Given (1) and (2), it follows that x = 7.5.
The correct answer is C;both statements together are sufficient.
