Answer: the cost per unit of gas is $0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost per unit of electricity.

Let y represent the cost per unit of gas.

During one month, a homeowner used 600 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of $344. It means that

600x + 100y = 344- - - - - - - - - -1

The next month, 400 units of electricity and 250 units of gas were used for a total cost of $299.

It means that

400x + 250y = 299- - - - - - - - - -1

Multiplying equation 1 by 400 and equation 2 by 600, it becomes

240000x + 40000y = 137600

240000x + 150000y = 179400

Subtracting, it becomes

- 110000y = - 41800

y = - 41800/- 110000

y = 0.38

Substituting y = 0.38 into equation 1, it becomes

600x + 100 × 0.38 = 344

600x + 38 = 344

600x = 344 - 38 = 306

x = 306/600

x = 0.51

What is the gradient of the graph shown
Keith_Richards [23]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient is the ratio of "rise" to "run". Here, it appears the line crosses the y-axis at y = -1. It appears that it also crosses the grid intersection at (1, 2). This represents a "rise" (change in y) of (2 -(-1)) = 3, for a "run" (change in x) of (1 -0) = 1. Then the gradient is ...

  m = rise/run = 3/1 = 3

The gradient of the graph is 3.

What’s the square root of 13 to the nearest integer
Marianna [84]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, integers are Whole Numbers (1,2,3,4, etc), so we are rounding the answer to the nearest whole number.

The square root of lets just say 25 means you are finding a number that multiplied by itself will equal 25 (the answer is 5).

Now for 13, there is no perfect square, however the closest whole number that multiplied by itself to 13 is 4.

4*4= 16

3*3=9

5*5=25

As you can see above 4 is the closest number to 13.

Now, the ACTUAL value of the square root of 13 is 3.60555128, but we are rounding up to the nearest whole number which is 4 :)
