Bryan’s monthly electric bill is determined by adding a flat administration fee to the product of the number of kilowatt hours o

f electricity used and the cost per kilowatt hour. When he uses 1,100 kilowatt hours of electricity, his bill is $113. When he uses 1,500 kilowatt hours of electricity, his bill is $153. What is the monthly administration fee?

We will form the equations for this problem:
(1) 1100*y + z = 113
(2) 1500*y + z = 153
z = ? Monthly administration fee is notated with z, and that is the this problem's question.
Number of kilowatt hours of electricity used are numbers 1100 and 1500 respectively.
Cost per kilowatt hour is notated with y, but its value is not asked in this math problem, but we can calculate it anyway.
The problem becomes two equations with two unknowns, it is a system, and can be solved with method of replacement:
(1) 1100*y + z = 113
(2) 1500*y + z = 153
----------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y [insert value of z (right side) into (2) equation instead of z]:
(2) 1500*y + (113 - 1100*y) = 153
-------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 1500*y + 113 - 1100*y = 153
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 400*y + 113 = 153
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 400*y = 153 - 113
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 400*y = 40
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) y = 40/400
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) y = 1/10
------------------------------------------------
if we insert the obtained value of y into (1) equation, we get the value of z:
(1) z = 113 - 1100*(1/10)
(1) z = 113 - 110
(1) z = 3 dollars is the monthly fee.

Write the ratios for sin X and cos X. Given that sin is opposite over hypotenuse and
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
The trigonometric ratios are used for right angle triangle.The basic rule to followed is SOH CAH TOA

SOH means Sinx=opposite/Hyp.
CAH means Cosx = adj./Hyp.
TOA means Tanx = Opp./Adj.

Opposite is the side opposite to the acute angle of the right triangle.

<span>Adjacent is the side Adjacent to the acute angle of the right triangle.

Factor and quadratic formula of 2x^2-11x=-5
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

x = 5

x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x2 - 11x + 5 = 0

Roots: 5, 0.5

Root Pair: 11/4 ± 9/4

Factored: f(x) = 2(x - 5)(x - 0.5)

In a certain isosceles right triangle, the altitude to the hypotenuse has length
Law Incorporation [45]

The angle bisector, median, and altitude are all the same things in an isosceles triangle.

That means that the legs of the smaller triangles created by the altitude are 4 root 2.

By special properties of an right triangle, the hypotenuse is 8.

Since the legs of the original right triangle are congruent, the area of the original triangle is 8*8/2.

Now we just simplify:

8*8/2=64/2=32

A kite is flying 9.75 feet above a lamp post that is 84 2/3 feet tall. How high is the kitchen flying?
Elden [556K]

The kite is flying at the height of 94 5/2 feet.

Combining objects and counting them as one big group is done through addition. In arithmetic, addition is the process of adding two or more integers together. Addends are the numbers that are added, while the total refers to the outcome of the operation.

= 9.75 +84 2/3                                               { 9+0.75 = 9.75   84 2/3}

= 9 + 0.75 +84 2/3                                           { a+b+c+d = a+c+b+d}

= 9 + 84 + 3/4 + 2/3

=93 + 3*3 / 4*3 + 4*2 / 4*3

= 93 + 9/12 + 8/12

= 93 + 17/12

= 93 + (1 + 5/12)

= 94 + 5/12

=94 5/12 feet

{kite height = (post height + the height of the kite above the post)
