Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the monthly charge has the following format
In which y(x) is the cost in function of the number of kilowatt-hours used(x), a is the price of each killowatt hour and b is the fixed(base) charge.
Base charge of $17.32 per month.
This means that 
charge of 7.32 cents per kilowatt-hour
Our answer is in dollars. Each dollar is 100 cents. So 7.32 cents is 
Write an equation for the monthly charge y in terms of x, the number of kilowatt-hours used.
Answer:
x=4, y=1
I think its that
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve this, we first need to look at the perimeter equation:
P=2L+2W
We don't know our length, so we can represent it with x. Since our width is 2 feet shorter than x, we can represent it with x-2. Now, we plug these values into our equation:
56=2x+(2(x-2))
Let's simplify what the width is by multiplying:
56=2x+2x-4
Now, let's combine our 2xs
56=4x-4
Now, we just need to solve for x in order to find our length and width.
First, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 4 to both sides:
56=4x-4
+4 +4
60=4x
Now, all we have to do is divide both sides by 4 and x will be fully isolated:
60=4x
÷4 ÷4
15=x
Now that we know x, let's plug this into our previous equations:
L=x=15
<u>L=15</u>
W=x-2=15-2=13
<u>W=13</u>
To verify our answers, we can plug this into our perimeter equation:
56=2(15)+2(13)
56=30+36
56=56
After double checking our answers, we know that our length is 15 and our width is 13.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
