This is a simultaneous question.
To solve this, we have to make up 2 equations based on the info provided like so:
electricity = e
gas = g
600e + 100g = $412 ——(1)
400e + 150g = $293 ——(2)
In this case, it’ll be easier to use the elimination method where you eliminate a variable so you can calculate only one.
Here, we will be eliminating e so we can get the cost of gas.
To do this we need to get both equation’s e to 600, so we have to multiply equation 2 by 1.5:
(2) x 1.5:
400e + 150g = $293
600e + 225g = $439.50 ——(3)
Now we eliminate e by subtracting equation 1 from equation 3:
(3) - (1):
600e + 225g - 600e - 100g = $439.50 -$412
125g = $27.50
g = $0.22.
Therefore one unit of gas costs $0.22.
Hope it helps and have a good day ahead :D
The attitude of Taylor in the given scenario can be classified as a; Watchdog
<h3>Who is classified as a watchdog?</h3>
From the given narration about Taylor, we can see that she understood the laws applying to whales and knew what the whaling industry would be doing wrong, when they do so.
Now, considering the fact that Taylor is not old enough to make a difference, politically, she has to tell others and keep an eye out. Thus, with this attitude, we can classify her to be a watchdog
The complete question is;
Taylor, a seventh grader at Juno Middle School, loves whales. She believes it is her duty to understand all laws that apply to the whaling industry and how this will affect the whales.

Answer:
1. E = 8h + 0.05s
2. $2,800
3. please check explanations
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we need an expression for what she earns.
The key to answering this is to know that 5% is same as 5/100 = 0.05
So , if her total sales is given as S, the amount she makes as commission would be 0.05s
So the Total earnings given that she works h hours per week and earns $8/h is $8h
So total earnings E = 8h + 0.05s
Now we want to get to total sales given she worked 15 hours last week and earned $260 in total.
What this means is that we have h and E and we want to find s for that week.
What we need to do is to plug the values into the equation we have defined above;
Thus;
260 = 8(15) + 0.05s
260 = 120 + 0.05s
0.05s = 260-120
0.05s = 140
s = 140/0.05
s = $2,800
I think employers offer commission to serve as a form of morale booster which helps to make their employees work better by sustaining their enthusiasm on the job and also augment their salaries
No, I do not think there are potential problems
Answer:
6 units :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
These angles are vertical angles.
Vertical angles are congruent!! So we set them equal to one another.
2 + 3x = 62
-2 -2
3x = 60

3 3
x = 20
