An electric utility company determines the monthly bill for a residential customer by adding an energy charge of 7.32 cents per kilowatt-hour to its base charge of $17.32 per month. Write an equation for the monthly charge y in terms of x, the number of kilowatt-hours used. (Let y be measured in dollars.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the monthly charge has the following format

In which y(x) is the cost in function of the number of kilowatt-hours used(x), a is the price of each killowatt hour and b is the fixed(base) charge.

Base charge of $17.32 per month.

This means that

charge of 7.32 cents per kilowatt-hour

Our answer is in dollars. Each dollar is 100 cents. So 7.32 cents is
