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

Arc is 41 and angle is 40. I have no other given information but I have to find x
tiny-mole [99]

First of all I want to point out you drew the diagram a little wrong. The Arc is 41 doesn't mean its 41 degrees it means it has length 41 so remove the degrees symbol.

Now for the answer the other arc have to have angle 40 too because vertical angles. And because the radius is the same, both of the length has formula 40/360*pi*2*radius which is 41 in this case. So x has to be 41 also :) Done!

The area of a circle is 16pi cm2. What is the circle's circumstance?
gavmur [86]
I think you mean circumference...Area is A= \pi  r^{2}. We have the area so we need to use it to solve for the radius which we will then use in the circumference formula.  16 \pi = \pi  r^{2}.  Divide both sides by pi to get \frac{16 \pi }{ \pi } = r^{2}.  Of course the simplification of the left side gives us 16= r^{2} and r = 4.  Now fill that in to the circumference formula, which is C=2 \pi r, to get CC=2 \pi (4) which is a circumference of 8 \pi

Evaluate the expression (- n) ^ (n + n) + n ^ (n - n) , when n = 2
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the value of the variable and simplify.

(-(2))^{(2+2)} +2^{(2-2)}

-2x^{2+2} =2^{4} = 16

2^{2-2} =2^{0}

Anything raised to the power of 0 is one.

16 + 1 = 17

work out the area of a circle with diameter 1.8cm. Take <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cpi" id="TexFormula1" title="\pi" al
ankoles [38]

Area of a circle is pi x r ^2

R = diameter/2

R = 1.8/2 = 0.9

Area = 3.142 x 0.9^2

Area = 2.5 square cm.

What is the number nearest to 10000 which is exactly divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8?.
Tems11 [23]

10080 is the number nearest to 10000 that is divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

Divisibility is being able to divide a number evenly and result to a whole number. Divisibility rules are set of rules to test if one number is divisible by another without doing much computation.

#1: divisibility by 2

A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even.

# 2: divisibility by 3:

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

# 3: divisibility by 4

A number is divisible by 4 if the number represented by its last two digits is divisible by 4.

#4: divisibility by 5

A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is 0 or 5.

# 5: divisibility by 6

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

# 6: divisibility by 7

Double the last digit and subtract it from a number made by the other digits. The result must be divisible by 7.

#7: divisibility by 8

A number is divisible by 8 if the number represented by its last three digits is divisible by 8.

#8: divisibility by 9

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

# 9: divisibility by 10

A number is divisible by 10 if its last digit or the digit in the ones place is 0.

To get the number nearest to 10000 that is divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, consider first the numbers that are divisible by 5(numbers ending in 5 or 0) and narrow it down to numbers ending in 0 since numbers ending in 5 is not divisible by 2, thus making it indivisible by 6.

The process goes on by narrowing the list by checking its divisibility by 3, 4, 7 and 8.
