Question

Trash-A-Way charges $25 per month with an additional $0.25 per pound of trash that they pick up from your house. Garbage-No-More charges a flat fee of $45 per month. Write a system of equations to represent each plan. How many pounds of trash would make the two plans equal?

Answer 1

look at the explanation

Explanation:

Write an equation:

Trash a way : $25 + 0.25x

Garbage No More : $45 per month

so to make them equal we need to have enough trash in Trash A Way that it equals $45

25 + 0.25x =45

0.25x = 20

x = 80

So, you need to have 80 pounds of trash to make them equal
