Answer:
The answer is 24 watts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Running the manufacturing operations requires 12 watts (units of electricity per hour).
The amount of electricity required to run the manufacturing operations and lighting the facility is given by [tex]y=12x+24[/tex]
Here x is the number of hours of manufacturing and y is the amount of electricity expended.
When there are no parts manufactured, then x = 0
[tex]y=12(0)+24[/tex] = 24.
