Please help!!

#1. Tom pays 5 cents per minute to use his cell phone. Write an expression for the cost in cents of using his cell phone for m minutes.


#2. Clint runs c miles each week. Brenda runs 2 miles more each week than Clint. Write an expression for the number of miles Brenda runs each week

Answer 1

1.
cost in cents

cost = 5m



2.
miles = c + 2

Answer 2

1) c = 5cents/min × m

2) x = (2+c) miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Cost paid per minute = 5 cents

Or we can also write it as cost per minute = 5 cents/min

Suppose Tom uses phone for m minutes, then cost (c)will be given an expression :

c = 5cents/min × m

2) Distance covered by Clint in a week = c miles

Distance covered by Brenda = x

Brenda runs 2 miles more each week than Clint.

x = (2+c) miles
