Let the number of comic books be X
if we add 14 to X = 24
so we will find the value of X to get half initial number of comic books William had.
14+X=24
X=24-14
X=10
so the total innitial number of comic books William had is 10+10=20 books.

tino4ka555 [31]

ANSWER

$3{a}^{4 }$

EXPLANATION

The cube root of

$27 {a}^{12}$

$\sqrt[3]{27 {a}^{12} }$

This is the same as:

$(27 {a}^{12} )^{ \frac{1}{3} }$

$( {3}^{3} ({a}^{4})^{3} )^{ \frac{1}{3} }$

$= (3{a}^{4} )^{3 \times \frac{1}{3} }$

$= 3{a}^{4 }$

PSEG Long Island charges its residential customers a little monthly service charge plus an energy charge based on the amount of

german

Using linear function concepts, it is found that:

a) It costs $0.1 for each kilowatt hour of electricity used in excess of 250 kWh.
b) f(90) = 46.6, which is the cost of 340 kWh of consumption in a month.

------------------------------

A <em>linear function </em>has the format given by:

$y = mx + b$

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, how much y changes when x changes by 1.
b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

The equation for the cost of h kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity used in excess of 250 kWh is of:

$C = f(h) = 37.6 + 0.1h$
