Eleni is helping to organize a school trip. She needs to find the best deal out of the three bus companies. 260 students are goi

ng on the trip. First Student charges $350 per bus. They will need 7 buses. Stock Transportation charges $500 to cover the cost for the drivers plus $6 per student. Switzer-Carty charges $7 per student. Write an algebraic equation for each company and solve it to find out which is the least expensive.

The least expensive is the Stock Transportation charges $500 to cover the cost for the drivers plus $6 per student.

<h3>How to form mathematical expression from the given description?</h3>

You can represent the unknown amounts by the use of variables. Follow whatever the description is and convert it one by one mathematically.

For example, if it is asked to increase some item by 4 , then you can add 4 in that item to increase it by 4.

If something is for example, doubled, then you can multiply that thing by 2 and so on methods can be used to convert description to mathematical expressions.

Let the number of students the bus carries be x.

First Student charges $350 per bus. They will need 7 buses.

Therefore, the cost of the school hiring the bus is:

C = 7*350

C = 2450

The charge of per student

= 2450 / 260

= $ 9.4

Stock Transportation charges $500 to cover the cost for the drivers plus $6 per student.

C = 500 + 6*260

C = 500 + 1560

C = 2060

Switzer-Carty costs $7 for every student that they bus.

Therefore, the cost of the school hiring the bus is:

C = 7 * x

C = 7x

To bus 260 students, then, the cost will be:

C = 7 * 260

C = $1820

The graph represents the normal distribution of recorded weights, in pounds, of cats at a veterinary clinic.
marshall27 [118]

Please consider the graph.

We have been given that graph represents the normal distribution of recorded weights, in pounds, of cats at a veterinary clinic.  We are asked to choose the weights, which are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

We can see from our graph that mean of the weights is 9.5 and standard deviation in 0.5.

The data point that would be below two standard deviation is: 9.5-2\times 0.5 that is 9.5-1=8.5.

The data point that would be above two standard deviation is: 9.5+2\times 0.5 that is 9.5+1=10.5.

Now we need to check the data points that lie within 8.5 and 10.5.

Upon looking at our given choices, we can see that 8.9, 9.5 and 10.4 pounds lie within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

Therefore, 8.9 lbs, 9.5 lbs and 10.4 lbs are correct choices.

Factor Completely: 12x2 + 22x + 6 A) (2x+ 3)(6x + 2) B) 6(x + 1)(2x + 1) C) 2(2x + 3)(3x + 1) D) 2(2x + 1)(3x + 3)
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

C) 2 (2x + 3) (3x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

12x² + 22x + 6

2 ( 6x² + 11x + 3 )

2 [ 6x² + 9x + 2x + 3 ]

2 [ 3x ( 2x + 3 ) + 1 ( 2x + 3 ) ]

2 ( 2x + 3 ) ( 3x + 1 )  ⇒ C

Arte-miy333 [17]
The question is incorrect
the correct question is
A local citizen wants to fence a rectangular community garden. The length of the garden should be at least 110 ft,and the distance around should be no more than 380 ft. Write a system of inequality that model the possible dimensions of he garden. Graph the system to show all possible solutions

let
x---------------> t<span>he length of the garden
</span>y---------------> the wide of the garden

we know that
x>=110
2x+2y <=380---------------> x+y <= 190

Part A) <span>Write a system of inequality that model the possible dimensions of he garden
</span>
the answer part A) is
x>=110
x+y <= 190


Part B) <span>Graph the system to show all possible solutions

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is the triangle show in the figure

</span><span>the possible solutions of y (wide) would be between 0 and 80 ft
</span>the possible solutions of x (length) would be between 110 ft and 190 ft
