Answer:
21 kWh
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Subtract 25% from the original amount.
25% of 28 kWh is ...
0.25 × 28 kWh = 7.00 kWh
Subtracting this from 28 kWh, we find the usage after reduction to be ...
28 kWh - 7 kWh = 21 kWh
__
2. We know that if we reduce 100% of a quantity by 25%, then the resulting amount is (100 -25)% = 75% of the original. As a fraction, this is 75/100 = 3/4 of the original amount. Then the reduced usage is ...
(3/4) × (28 kWh) = 3·(7·4)/4 kWh = 3·7 kWh = 21 kWh
__
Mario must reduce his usage to 21 kWh or less.
Answer:
x=5 and y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+5y=5
-(7x+5y=25)
-4x=-20
x=5
plug 5 into one of the equations. 3(5)+5y=5
y= -2
ANSWER: (-3,-7)
Set them equal to each other so, 2x-1=3x+2 to find x. You should get x= -3
Then you plug in -3 for x to find Y for either y=2x-1 or y=3x+2. I’m picking y=3x+2 so when you plug in -3 to x it will be y=3(-3)+2 = -7 . So therefore y=-7
