The equation P=31+1.75w models the relation between the amount of Tuyet’s monthly water bill payment, P, in dollars, and the number of units of water, w, used. Find Tuyet’s payment for a month when 12 units of water are used.

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]P = \$\ 52[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation [tex]P = 31 + 1.75w[/tex] where P represents the payment and w represents the amount of water used.

To calculate the monthly payment that corresponds to 12 units of water you must do [tex]w = 12[/tex] in the main equation and solve for the variable P.

[tex]P = 31 + 1.75w[/tex]

[tex]P = 31 + 1.75(12)[/tex]

[tex]P = 31 + 21[/tex]

[tex]P = 52[/tex]
