Answer:

$90,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We can can use substitution for this. First, we need to create two separate problems that represent this situation. The house and the lot together cost 120000, so we can make the equation h+l=120000. We also know that the house is worth 3 lots, so we can make the equation h=3l. Because h=3l, we can substitute for h, making the equation 3l+l=120000, or 4l=120000. To isolate l, we have to divide both sides by 4. If we do that, we get l=30000. Now, we have to substitute to find h. Our new equation is h+30000=120000. To isolate h, we have to subtract 30000 from each side. If we do this, we get h=90000. That's our answer.

Hope this helps!

A city hosted a music festival that included three concerts. According to the sales database, 28% of the audience attended the f

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

$P(X\cap Y\cap Z)=0.05$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Percentage of audience in first concert $P(X)=0.28$

Percentage of audience in second concert $P(Y)=0.42$

Percentage of audience in third concert $P(Z)=0.30$

Audience Percentage at at-least one concert $P(X \cup Y \cup Z)=0.80$

Percentage of audience at first & second concert $P(X \cap Y)=0.10$

Percentage of audience in first & third concert $P(X \cap Z)=0.08$

Percentage of audience in second & third concert $P(Y\cap Z)=0.07$

Generally the equation for probability of attending all concerts $P(X\cap Y\cap Z)$ is mathematically given by

$P(X \cup Y \cup Z)=P(X)+P(Y)+P(Z)-P(X \cap Y)-P(X \cap Z)-P(Y\cap Z)+P(X\cap Y\cap Z)$

$P(X\cap Y\cap Z)=P(X \cup Y \cup Z)-P(X)-P(Y)-P(Z)+P(X \cap Y)+P(X \cap Z)+P(Y\cap Z)$

$P(X\cap Y\cap Z)=0.80-0.28-0.42-0.30+0.10+0.80+0.70$

$P(X\cap Y\cap Z)=0.05$

Therefore the probability that a randomly selected audient attended all the concerts

$P(X\cap Y\cap Z)=0.05$

Midpoint (-10,9), (3,8)

solniwko [45]

Answer:

(-3.5 8.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula: ( $\frac{x2 + x1}{2}$ , $\frac{y2 + y1}{2}$ )

What I did: -10 + 3 = 7, 7 / 2 = 3.5 x = 3.5 | 9 + 8 = 17, 17 / 2 = 8.5

Midpoint = (-3.5, 8.5)
