x + y = 12

Equation 2: Difference:

x - y = 4

Solution:

x + y = 12

x - y = 4

-------------

Add the two equations together:

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 8

Solve for y:

Use equation 1 substituting for x:

x + y = 12

8 + y = 12

Subtract 8 from both sides:

y = 4

Answer:

one number is 8 and the other number is 4.

8 + 4 = 12

8 - 4 = 4

ACCORDING to the rate of electricity charge, the minimum charge up to 20 unit is Rs 80 and the cost per unit from 21 units to 25

azamat

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = total units of electricity after 250 units

the total units of electricity consumed can be determined using the formula below

80 + 7.3x = 1248

7.3x = 1248 - 80

7.3x = 1168

divide both sides of the equation by 7.3

x = 1168 / 7.3

x = 160

total electricity consumed = 160 + 20 = 180

160
