You do (3)*(3)*(3)= 27
Then you do (4)*(4)*(4)= 64
Now you add them 27*64= 1728
I know this is correct because I am doing the same thing in my math class.
Hope this helps. :)
72 because 63 + 9 is basically 9×8
Hey there!
We can solve systems two ways - substitution and elimination. It seems in this case that elimination is going to be easier.
Let's begin by multiplying the top equation by 3, and the bottom equation by 4:
3(5x - 4y = -24)
15x - 12y = -72
4(4x + 3y = 18)
16x + 12y = 72
Next, we'll add the two equations together to get rid of, or eliminate, the y variable and solve for the x variable:
(15x - 12y = -72) + (16x + 12y = 72)
31x = 0
x = 0
Next, we'll plug the value of the x variable into the top equation and solve for the y variable:
5(0) - 4y = -24
-4y = -24
y = 6
Therefore, x = 0 and y = 6.
Hope this helps!! :)
First, find the expected number of scooters rented per month:
As the data is symmetrical, E(X) (the expected value) is the middle value. So, on average, 2.5 scooters should be taken per month.
His total costs were 5 * 3000 = $15,000
So, to break even, he needs to make $15,000.
He will be selling for 5 years, or 60 months.
As a result, he needs to make 15000/60 = $250/month
As he is selling 2.5 scooters on average, he needs to rent each for:
$250/2.5 = <u>$100/month</u>
