Karina uses the system of equations below to compare the monthly utility costs in July and December for electricity, x, and natu

ral gas, y. 750x + 17y = 141.61 300x + 30y = 75.90 Karina solves the system using linear combination and arrives at the equation 116y = 96.28. She then solves this equation for y. Which statement explains Karina’s solution? The cost of natural gas is $0.17 per unit. The cost of natural gas is $0.20 per unit. The cost of natural gas is $0.72 per unit. The cost of natural gas is $0.83 per unit.

The correct statement is The cost of natural gas is $0.83 per unit.

The equations representing her utility costs in July and December are known as simultaneous equations. These equations have to be solved jointly in order to determine the cost of electricity and natural gas.

Given the equation gotten by Karina: 116y = 96.28

Where y represent the cost of natural gas

In order to determine the value of y, divide both sides of the equation by 116

y = 96.28 / 116

y = $0.83

A cube has side length a. The side lengths are decreased to 50% of their original size. Write an expression in simplest form for
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

  V = a³/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the original cube is the cube of the side length:

  V = a³

When the side length is reduced to half its former value, the new volume is ...

  V = (a/2)³ = a³/2³

  V = a³/8 . . . . volume of the new cube

Jon is looking into a 4250 vacation package that is offered for 25% off. there's a 9% resort fee added on to the total. How much
bazaltina [42]
When you want to find a percent of a number you do this:
given number/ 1   multiplied by   percentage/100

so in this question its a multiple step 

start with finding 25 percent of 4250 which is= 1062.5
so thats how much the discount is so the amount after the 25% discount is:
4250-1062.5= 3187.5

then you have to add 9% due to fees
so you find 9% of 3187.5 which is= 286.875
so you add 286.875 to 3187.5 gives you= 3437.375 in total cost for the vacation package

Given f(x) = 3x^3+ kx – 11, and x – 1 is a factor of f(x), then what is the value<br> of k?
STatiana [176]

let's recall the remainder theorem.

we know that (x-1) is a factor, that means x -1 = 0 or x = 1.

since we know that (x-1) is a factor, then dividing the polynomial by it will give us a remainder of 0, which correlates with saying that f(1) = 0, in this case, so we can simply plug in "1" as the argument, knowing it gives 0.

f(x)=3x^3+kx-11\\\\[-0.35em]~\dotfill\\\\\stackrel{0}{f(1)}=3(1)^3+k(1)-11\implies \stackrel{f(1)}{0}=3+k-11\implies 0=-8+k\implies 8=k
