Cecily is comparing two checking accounts. checking account a has a monthly fee of $16 and a per-check fee of $0.08, while checking account b has monthly fee of $14 and a per-check fee of $0.12. she want to know how many checks she would need to write per month for the accounts to charge the same amount in fees. part 1: if x represents the number of checks cecily writes per month, what expression represents the monthly fee in dollars charged by checking account a? part 2: what equation can be set up to solve for the number of checks cecily would need to write per month for the accounts to charge the same in fees?

(1) 0.08x + 16

(2) 0.08x + 16=0.12x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Checking account A has a monthly fee of $16 and a per-check fee of $0.08

Per check fee is a constant rate that is 0.08

Let x represents the number of checks Cecily writes per month

1 check fee = 0.08

x checks fee = 0.08x

monthly fee is $16 , we add that as well

So total monthly fee charges for account A  is

0.08x + 16

checking account B has monthly fee of $14 and a per-check fee of $0.12.

1 check fee = 0.12

x checks fee = 0.12x

monthly fee is $14 , we add that as well

So total monthly fee charges for account B  is

0.12x + 14

(2) To find number of checks write per month for the accounts to charge the same in fees

WE set both expression , account A = account B

0.08x + 16=0.12x + 14

Subtract 0.12x on both sides

-0.04x + 16 = 14

Now subtract 16 on both sides

-0.04x = -2

Divide by -0.04 on both sides

So x= 50

5y

step-by-step explanation:

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
