Answer:

<u>The two numbers are 23 and 56</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the two numbers are A and B.

We are told:

1)  A+B=79

2) 3A+5B=283

Let's take the first expression and solve for A:

A+B=79

A=79-B

Now use this value of A in the second expression:

3A+5B=283

3(79-B)+5B=283

237-3B+5B=283

2B = 46

B = 23

Since B=23, we know from 1) that

A+B=79

A+23=79

A = 56

<u>CHECK:</u>

Does A+B=79?  

        56+23 = 79?  <u>YES</u>

Does 3A+5B=283?

3(56)+5(23)=283

168  + 115 = 283?  <u>YES</u>

If b is between a and c then ab+bc=ac
erma4kov [3.2K]
That's false. Take the numbers 1, 3, and 5.
Let a = 1, b = 3, and c = 5.
ab + bc = ac
3 + 15 = 5
18 ≠ 5
Since 18 does not equal 5, this is false. If you were to use the distributive property on ab + bc = ac, you would get
b(a+c) = ac, which doesn't even make sense.
Have a nice day! :)

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Hence the best estimate is population with correct option is 74% and

the value for x=148

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A sample of 200

Of which 148 prefer brand new coffee

To Find:

Which statement  is true?

Solution:

n=200

x=148

remaining 52 prefer old ones .

So  estimate population proportion,

p=x/n

p=148/200

p=0.74

p=74 %

Now, when x=52

p=x/n,

p=52/200

p=0.26

p=26%

There is no option for 52 and 24 %

Hence x=148 and p=74%.
