Answer:

\$58.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> thousand. gallons of water used in month

y ----> the total charge in dollars

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the rate or slope

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have that

m=\$2.75\ per\ thousand.\ gallons

b=\$20

substitute

The linear equation that represent this situation is

y=2.75x+20

so

If you used 14-thousand. gallons of water this month

then

x=14

substitute the value of x in the linear equation and solve for y

y=2.75(14)+20

y=\$58.50

In the diagram below, BD is parallel to XY. What is the value of x?
MAXImum [283]

If two lines are crossed by another line that is called the transversal, the corresponding angles those in matching corners. In this problem, we have two parallel lines:


\overleftrightarrow{XY} \\ \\ \overleftrightarrow{BD}


In this way, x° and 76° are corresponding, therefore:

(x)° = 76°

∴ x = 76
