Suppose you and a friend form a band. You want to record a demo. Sony Studios rents for $150 plus $20 an hour. Capitol Studios rents for $200 plus $15 an hour. Use a system of equations to help you to determine when the studios charge the same amount.

at what number of hours do the studios charge the same amount?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: times the hour by four on each and get 60 then it would be an equal pay for the hours.

Answer:

200 < 225 + 80x < 550

The 200 is the amount the Jenna currently have.

225 + 80x is the amount that Jenna has to pay given x number of hours.

550 is the sum of Jenna's 200 and additional 350 she can get by selling pre-ordered Cds. This is the maximum amount she can pay for the studio rental and sound technicians.

Explanation:

225 + 80x < 550

80x < 550 -225

80x < 325

80x / 80 < 325/80

x < 4.06 or 4 hours

225 + 80x → 225 + 80(4) = 225 + 320 = 545

The number of hours for the sound technician will range from 1 hour to 4 hours.

Assuming they will use 6 hours.

225 + 80(6) = 225 + 480 = 705

705 - 550 = 155

Jenna has to raise an additional $155 to pay off the studio rent and 6 hours of sound technicians.

this might be wrong but, i hope it helps
