Answer: the cost per unit of gas is $0.28

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 500 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of $333. This is expressed as

500x + 100y = 333 - - - -- - -- - -- -1

The next month, 400 units of electricity and 150 units of gas were used for a total cost of $286. This is expressed as

400x + 150y = 286 - - - - - - - - - --2

Multiplying equation 1 by 400 and equation 2 by 500, it becomes

200000x + 40000y = 133200

200000x + 75000y = 143000

Subtracting, it becomes

- 35000y = - 9800

y = - 9800/- 35000

y = 0.28

Substituting y = 0.28 into equation 2, it becomes

400x + 150 × 0.28 = 286

400x = 286 - 42 = 244

x = 244/400 = 0.61

Please help me thanks
Lynna [10]

Answer:

If we look at ΔBDH, we notice that m∠BHG has to be 108 - 36 - 39 = 105°. Because x and ∠BHG are a linear pair we know that x = 180 - ∠BHG = 180 - 105 = 75°.

What is the measure of the other acute angle ?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

62^{o}

Step-by-step explanation:

All the angles in a triangle add up to 180^{o}

Every right angle triangle has a right angle in it which is 90^{o}

So to find the remaining angle, you do 180^{o} - 90^{o} - 28^{o} = 62^{o}
