Bryan’s monthly electric bill is determined by adding a flat administration fee to the product of the number of kilowatt hours of electricity used and the cost per kilowatt hour. When he uses 1,100 kilowatt hours of electricity, his bill is $113. When he uses 1,500 kilowatt hours of electricity, his bill is $153. What is the monthly administration fee?
Answers
(1) 1100*y + z = 113
(2) 1500*y + z = 153
z = ? Monthly administration fee is notated with z, and that is the this problem's question.
Number of kilowatt hours of electricity used are numbers 1100 and 1500 respectively.
Cost per kilowatt hour is notated with y, but its value is not asked in this math problem, but we can calculate it anyway.
The problem becomes two equations with two unknowns, it is a system, and can be solved with method of replacement:
(1) 1100*y + z = 113
(2) 1500*y + z = 153
----------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y [insert value of z (right side) into (2) equation instead of z]:
(2) 1500*y + (113 - 1100*y) = 153
-------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 1500*y + 113 - 1100*y = 153
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 400*y + 113 = 153
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 400*y = 153 - 113
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 400*y = 40
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) y = 40/400
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) y = 1/10
------------------------------------------------
if we insert the obtained value of y into (1) equation, we get the value of z:
(1) z = 113 - 1100*(1/10)
(1) z = 113 - 110
(1) z = 3 dollars is the monthly fee.

Answer:
(x − 4)² + (y − 3)² = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle is:
(x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²
Given three points on the circle, we can write three equations:
(1 − h)² + (7 − k)² = r²
(8 − h)² + (6 − k)² = r²
(7 − h)² + (-1 − k)² = r²
Expanding:
1 − 2h + h² + 49 − 14k + k² = r²
64 − 16h + h² + 36 − 12k + k² = r²
49 − 14h + h² + 1 + 2k + k² = r²
Simplifying:
50 − 2h + h² − 14k + k² = r²
100 − 16h + h² − 12k + k² = r²
50 − 14h + h² + 2k + k² = r²
Subtracting the first equation from the second and third equations:
50 − 14h + 2k = 0
-12h + 16k = 0
Solving the system of equations, first reduce:
25 − 7h + k = 0
-3h + 4k = 0
Solve with substitution or elimination. Using substitution, solve for k in the first equation and substitute into the second.
k = 7h − 25
-3h + 4(7h − 25) = 0
-3h + 28h − 100 = 0
25h = 100
h = 4
k = 7h −25
k = 7(4) − 25
k = 3
Now plug these into any of the original three equations to find r.
(1 − h)² + (7 − k)² = r²
(1 − 4)² + (7 − 3)² = r²
9 + 16 = r²
25 = r²
The equation of the circle is:
(x − 4)² + (y − 3)² = 25
