Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up two equations:  one for each sister:

Let C and D be the prices for a Candy bag and and Drink.  

Sister 1:  3C + 1D = 3.20  [The total spent by sister 1 is the sum of 3 candy bags(C) and 1 drink (D), which comes to $3.20.]

Sister 2:  2C + 4D = 6.30  [The total spent by sister 2 is the sum of 2 candy bags(C) and 4 drinks (D), which comes to $6.30.]

We have two unknowns, C and D, BUT we have 2 equations.  Therefore, we're likely going to be able to solve for C and D if we rearrange one of the equations to isolate one of the unknowns, and then use that expression in the other equation.  Seems unlikely, but it always works.

I'll pick Sister 1's equation and solve for D, the price of a drink:

3C + 1D = 3.20

1D = 3.20 - 3C  [This tells us the price of a drink is 3.20 - 3C]

Use this definition of 1D in Sister 2's equation:

2C + 4D = 6.30

2C + 4(3.20 - 3C) = 6.30

2C + 12.80 - 12C = 6.30

-10C = - 6.5

C = $0.65

One candy bag, C, is $0.65.

Use this value of C in any equation to find D, the cost of 1 drink.  I'll pick The expression we derived above:

1D = 3.20 - 3C

1D = 3.20 - 3(0.65)

1D = 3.20 - 1.95

1D = $1.25

One drink, D, is $1.25.

===================

Check the values:

Candy Bags = $0.65 each    Drinks = $1.25 each

             Reported    

Sister        <u> </u><u> 1      2      1       2  </u>

Candy bags    3  2       $1.95   $1.30  

Drinks         1  4          $1.25   $5.00  

                $3.20   $6.30 Calculated

                 $3.20    $6.30 Reported

Simplify the following: 6i^3 +4j^2 -6i<br> Please show work
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Concept: Vectors

  1. I think the confusion here might be the usage of i and j
  2. Just to let you know, i=x and j=y
  3. So let's use that fact to conceptualize this
  4. 6x^3+4y^2-6x
  5. We can simplify by applying a common factor
  6. 2(x^3+2y^2-3x)
  7. Thats the most we can simplify this

Heights of male students in the eighth grade are normally distributed with a mean of 57.2 in. and standard deviation of 2.4 in.
romanna [79]
<span>In statistics finding percentiles relates to the standard deviation and something called a z-score. For normally distributed data the z-score represents how many standard deviations above or below the mean that group is a part of. The z-score for normally distributed data for the 90th percentile is 1.28. The standard deviation is then multiplied by the z-score to find, in this case, the shotlrtest height needed to be in the 90th percentile of this population. In this case to be in the 90th percentile your height must be 60.27 inches.</span>
