Given:
John had to pay a combined electric and gas bill $150.
The electric portion of the bill was $90.
To find:
The ratio of money spent on electric to that on gas.
Solution:
Let x be the amount of gas bill.
The electric portion of the bill was $90 and John had to pay a combined electric and gas bill $150. So,
The gas portion of the bill was $60.
The ratio of money spent on electric to that on gas is:
Therefore, the ratio of money spent on electric to that on gas is 3:2.
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Note:
<u>Graphing From An Equation: </u>
Equation are frequently written in slope-intercept form { y = mx+b}.
Which "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.
<u>Solutions and Equation:</u>
Solutions to linear equations contain any points located on the graphed line.
Ordered Pair = Solution to an equation if it's values are substituted in the equation which makes it true
Solve:
{x = 0 } 3(0) - 4y = 12
-4y = 12 (0, -3 )
-4y/-4 = 12/-4
y = -3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{y = 0} 3x-4(0) =12
3x = 12 (4,0)
3x/3 = 12/3
x = 4
