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

d. The cost of natural gas (y) = $0.83 per unit

Step-by-step explanation:

The explanation is shown below:-

the equation of system is:

750x + 17y = 141.61  (i)        

300x + 30y =75.90 (ii)

as x indicates the cost of electricity and y indicates the costs of natural gas.

we will solve the both equation with the help of multiplication for (i) by 30 and for (ii) 75

after solve the above equation we will get

22,500x + 510y = 4248.3 (iii)

after solve the above equation we will get

22500x + 2250y = 5692.5 (iv)

After deducting the equation (iii) and (iv) we will get

1740 y = 1444.2

After Dividing by 15 both sides,

116y = 96.28

So, Katrina simplify the above system using linear equation and reach at the equation that is

116 y = 96.28

By Division property of equality defines that divide the equal no. of both sides of an equation:

by  Division of 116 to both sides of an equation, to get y:

y = 0.83

So, the natural gas is $0.83 per unit

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
