One freezer costs $623.95 and uses 90 kilowatt hours (kwh) of electricity each month. A second freezer costs $500 and uses 100 k

wh of electricity each month. The expected life of each freezer is 12 years. What is the minimum electric rate in cents per kwh for which the 12-year total cost (purchase price + electricity costs) will be less for the first freezer?

The minimum electric rate in cents per kwh for which the 12-year total cost will be less for the first freezer is 8.61 cents

<h3>How to calculate the rate?</h3>

Let x =  minimum electric rate (Cents/kWh)

Total months in 12 years is 12*12 = 144 m

1st freezer

Total cost over 12 years is

623.95 (cost) + (90 kWh/m)*(144 m)(x/100 $/kWh)

= 623.95 + 129.6x

2nd freezer

Total cost over 12 years is

500 + 100*144*(x/100)

= 500 + 144x

For the 1st freezer to cost less over 12 years,

623.95 + 129.6x < 500 + 144x

123.95 < 14.4x

8.61 < x

The minimum rate is 8.61 cents per kWh

Expreessions represent The sum of 3 and n
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

3+n

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple questions but it can be technical atimes, according to the question we are to solve in terms of n, simple...

The sum of 3 and n can be written as 3+n

This cannot be solved further because there are two different variables and it is impossible to add them together

Therefore the final answer is 3+n

But in case a value is given for n we can then substitute and solve further

Hope this will help you

Find the area of each figure to the nearest tenth.
sergey [27]

Answer:

Area of triangle ABC=7 square units

Area of triangle A'B'C'=7 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC is the preimage of triangle A'B'C' under a reflection in the line x=0.

The two triangles are congruent so they have the same area.

We can calculate the area by counting the unit squares the triangle covered.

Each full box is 1 units square.

Each triangle covered

1 full box and 12 partially covered boxes.

Each partial box covered is 0.5 square units.

Therefore the area is

Area=1+0.5\times12

Area=1+6

Area=7 square units

4x + 6y - z=-18<br> 3x +2y - 4z = -24<br> - 5x + 3y + 2z = 15<br> find x y and z
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

x = -2, y = -1, z = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 6y - z=-18

z  = 18  + 4 x  +  6 y

3x +2y - 4z = -24

z  = 6  + (3x)/ 4  +  y /2

- 5x + 3y + 2z = 15

z = 15/2 + (5x)/2 - (3y)/2

18  + 4 x  +  6 y = 6  + (3x)/ 4  +  y /2  = 15/2 + (5x)/2 - (3y)/2

x = -22y/13 - 48/13

4(-22y/13 - 48/13) + 6y - (15/2 + (5(-22y/13 - 48/13))/2 - (3y)/2) = -18

Compute the output value of the variables x and y with respect to the input values of x, y, and z coefficients.
