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? 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 cost of natural gas y ,is, $ 0.83 per unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
