Lucas is selling ribbons to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. His expenses include $23 for materials, p

lus $0.04 per ribbon. If Lucas charges $0.50 per ribbon, how many ribbons does he need to sell to break even? Write a system of equations that represents the situation. Let x represent the number of ribbons, and let y represent the expense or revenue. Solve the system of equations.

Using the equation, the amount of ribbon she needs to sell to break even is 50 ribbons.

<h3>How to represent system of equation and solve?</h3>

x = number of ribbons

y = expenses or revenue

Therefore, the system of equation for this situation is as follows;

y(expenses) = 23 + 0.04x

y = 23 + 0.04x

He charges $0.50 per ribbon. Therefore,

y(revenue) = 0.50x

y = 0.50x

Therefore, for her to break even,

23 + 0.04x = 0.50x

23 = 0.46x

x = 23 / 0.46

x = 50

Therefore, she needs to sell 50 ribbons for her to break even.

An education firm measures the high school dropout rate as the percentage of 16 to 24 year olds who are not enrolled in school a
posledela

Answer:

The value of the test statistic z = -0.6606

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The high dropout rate is \mu  = 6.1%  = 0.061

      The  sample size is  n = 1000

       The  number of dropouts x = 56

       The probability of having a dropout in 1000 people  \= x  = \frac{56}{1000}  =  0.056

Now setting up Test Hypothesis

 Null  H_o :  p = 0.061

 Alternative  H_a : p < 0.061        

The Test statistics is mathematically represented as

                 z = \frac{\= x - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1 -p)}{n} } }

substituting values

               z = \frac{0.056 - 0.061}{\sqrt{\frac{0.061(1 -0.061)}{1000} } }

               z = -0.6606

Since it is given that AB ≅ AC, it must also be true that AB = AC. Assume ∠B and ∠C are not congruent. Then the measure of one a
BartSMP [9]

Answer: The required conclusion is

"if in triangle ABC, AB ≅ AC, then ∠B and ∠C must be congruent".

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in triangle ABC,  AB ≅ AC, implies that AB = AC must be true. We are given to assume ∠B and ∠C are not congruent. Then the measure of one angle is greater than the other.

If m∠B > m∠C, then AC > AB because of the triangle parts relationship theorem.

For the same reason, if m∠B < m∠C, then AC < AB.

This is a contradiction to the given information.

We are to state the conclusion.

Since in the beginning, it is given that AB ≅ AC and we have assumed that ∠B and ∠C are not congruent, so

our assumption must be wrong.

That is, ∠B and ∠C must be congruent.

Thus, the required conclusion is

if in triangle ABC, AB ≅ AC, then ∠B and ∠C must be congruent.

Can you please help me with this problem?

Here you have to find which each variable is, for this you start of picking one equation,

x + 2y + 6z = 4
-3x + 2y - 2 = -4
4x + 2z = 16

depending the equation you pick you multiply that by a certain number that will give you the opposite of one of the other equations,
-1(x + 2y + 6z = 4)
= -x -2y - 6z = -4

With this you add or subtract it with the equation that has the same number or variable, or both,
In this case it will be the equation,
-3x + 2y + 6z = 4
You can use this one or the third equation since both have a positive 2y which will cancel with -2y from the new equation,
-x - 2y - 6z = -4
-3x + 2y -z = -4

= -4x -7z = -8
Now you since you just eliminated the variable (y) you now have 2 variables, and the last equation has only 2 variables, meaning now you find the answer to those to equations,

-4x -7z = -8
4x + 2z = 16

= -5z = 8
Now leave the variable by itself,
z = 8/5
Now you found the variable (z), with this just substitute on one of the equations we used to find (z) so you can find (x), after that substitute those answered to on of the original equations so you can find (y)
