D = 171 - (61+53) = 171 -124 = 47
E = 171 - 90 = 81
A = 81 - (34+24) = 81 - 58 = 23
B = 61 - 23 = 38
C = 90 - (33+ 38) = 90 - 71 = 19
answer is B.
This is a simultaneous question.
To solve this, we have to make up 2 equations based on the info provided like so:
electricity = e
gas = g
600e + 100g = $412 ——(1)
400e + 150g = $293 ——(2)
In this case, it’ll be easier to use the elimination method where you eliminate a variable so you can calculate only one.
Here, we will be eliminating e so we can get the cost of gas.
To do this we need to get both equation’s e to 600, so we have to multiply equation 2 by 1.5:
(2) x 1.5:
400e + 150g = $293
600e + 225g = $439.50 ——(3)
Now we eliminate e by subtracting equation 1 from equation 3:
(3) - (1):
600e + 225g - 600e - 100g = $439.50 -$412
125g = $27.50
g = $0.22.
Therefore one unit of gas costs $0.22.
Hope it helps and have a good day ahead :D
Answer- A
Reason- in order to have two lines be parallel they must have the same slope, in this case the slope has to be 3x. If you look at A it is 2y=6x+8 and to graph it, y has to be by itself. so you divide both sides by two making it y=3x+4, and as you can see it now has a slope of 3x.
Yes because -5 does equal -5
(X+5)²=4/4
X+5=1, X+5=-1
X=1-5 X=-1-5
X=-4 X=-6
