Answer:
Two systems of equations are equivalent if they have the same solution(s).
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.
Solve the equation:
5 3
x – —— = – ——
7 7
5
Add —— to both sides, so you get x isolated at the left-hand side:
7
5 5 3 5
x – —— + —— = – —— + ——
7 7 7 7
3 5
x = – —— + ——
7 7
Now, add those fractions at the right-hand side of the equation:
– 3 + 5
x = —————
7
2
x = —— <——— this is the answer (first option: 2/7).
