Plug 7 into each y. 9(7) -4(7) +3
63-28+3
The answer is 38
17.24
Since 7 comes after 5 we need to round to the next number.....18.00
17.24 rounded to ones = 18.00
Hope I helped:P
This does not look easy to factor, so I'd suggest using the quadratic formula:
-1 plus or minus sqrt( 1-4(3)(-5) )
x = -----------------------------------------------
2*3
-1 plus or minus sqrt(61)
= ------------------------------------
6
Thus, there are 2 real, unequal, irrational roots / solutions.
Add 165 to 245. That is a total of 410kWh.
245kWh is more than 50% of 410kWh.
So, according to the plan, you will pay NightTimer rate for kWh at night and DayTimer rate during the day.
The work done:

The raw, accurate, answer is that the value to pay is $22.08085.
In real terms, it is closer to your $22.08 option. That is the one I'd take.
