Greg has a piece of rope 18 ft long. He wants to cut it into two pieces so that the longer piece (y) is 2 ft less than 3 times the length of the shorter piece (x).
Choose the two equations that will create our system of equations for this story problem.


A) x - y = 18

B) y = 2 - 3x

C) x + y = 18

D) y = 3x - 2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The required equations are:

C) x + y = 18

D) y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of shorter piece and y be the length of larger piece

It is given that the total length is 18 ft which gives us our first equation

[tex]x+y = 18[/tex]

Now it is also given that

"3 times the length of the shorter piece (x)"

[tex]3x[/tex]

"2 ft less than 3 times the length of the shorter piece (x)"

[tex]3x-2[/tex]

Second equation will be:

[tex]y = 3x-2[/tex]

Hence, the required equations are:

C) x + y = 18

D) y = 3x - 2

What is equivalent to 16a + 20

Answers

Answer: [tex]16a + 20[/tex]

Step 1: Combine Like Terms.

We have no Like Terms here, so we will leave the equation how it is.

If we leave the equation how it is, we still get [tex]16a + 20[/tex].

Therefore, our answer is still 16a + 20

The ages (in years) of a random sample of shoppers at a gaming store are given below: 12 19 23 14 20 16 21 18 14 19 What is the variance

Answers

Answer: the required variance is 11.6555

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data;

xi = 2 19 23 14 20 16 21 18 14 19

mean x" = 2+19+23+14+20+16+21+18+14+19 / 10

mean x" = 166 / 10 = 16.6

so;

X      xi - x"   (xi - x")²

12     -4.9     24.01

16     -0.9     0.81

23     6.1      37.21

13     -3.9     15.21

18      1.1       1.21

18      1.1       1.21

19      2.1      4.41

18      1.1       1.21

13     -3.9     15.21

19      2.1      4.41

Total           104.9

Variance =  n_i=1∑(xi - x")² / n-1

Variance = 104.9 / 9

Variance = 11.6555

Therefore, the required variance is 11.6555

The travel-to-work time for residents in Ventura County is unknown. Assume the population variance is 39. How large should a sample be if the margin of error is 1 minute for a 93% confidence interval

Answers

Answer:

A sample size of 128 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.93}{2} = 0.035[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].

So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.035 = 0.965[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.81[/tex]

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population(square root of the variance) and n is the size of the sample.

How large should a sample be if the margin of error is 1 minute for a 93% confidence interval

We need a sample size of n, which is found when [tex]M = 1[/tex]. We have that [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{39}[/tex]. So

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]1 = 1.81*\frac{\sqrt{39}}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.81\sqrt{39}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.81\sqrt{39})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 127.8[/tex]

Rounding up

A sample size of 128 is needed.

Applying the cosine ratio, CAH, the size of angle XYZ, to 1 decimal place is calculated as: 54.3°.

What is the Cosine Ratio?

To solve a right triangle by relating the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, the cosine ratio is applied, which is: cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse.

Given the parameters:

∅ = angle XYZHypotenuse = 12 cmAdjacent side = 7 cm

Apply the cosine ratio:

Cos (XYZ) = 7/12

Erin had $35 more than Angie who had 3 times as much money as Jacob. If they had $196 altogether, how much money did each have?

Answers

Answer:

$23

Step-by-step explanation:

let j be jacob"s money

Then angie is 3j, and Erin is 3j+35 so 7I

=161

j=23

Answer: Erin - $104; Angie - $69; Jacob - $23.

(please give me brainlest ❤️)

Step-by-step explanation:

JACOB has least amount of money, so let's say that he has :

x amount of money

ANGIE has 3 times more than jacob:

Angie has 3x

ERIN has $35 more money than Angie:

3x+35

their money together is $196, that means if we add all of their money, it will be equivalent of 196:

3x+35+3x+x=196

now lets find x value.

put all the xes on right side and all known numbers on left side.

i think u know that when it goes to another side it changes sign; for example - makes + and × makes /

3x+35+3x+x=196

7x=161

x=161/7

x=23

now plug x values for each kid:

so Jacob had x=23

Angie had 3x=3×23=69

and Erin had 3x+35=69+35= 104

lets check our answer:

23+69+104=196

196=196

so sum of their money really gives us $196.

An auditorium is designed in such a manner that an additional seat is added to each row. If the theater has 46 rows and the last row contains 56 seats, then how many people could be seated in the auditorium?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that they give us how many seats are in the last row we know that each row contains 56 seats and we have 46 rows. If you multiply 56 by 46 you get 2,576. If a seat is added to each row there are 46 seats you must add to 2,576. This will make your answer 2,622
