Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Let x be the smaller and y be the largest number.

Since x+y=13, we deduce y=13-x

Now, for the translation: "two more than the larger number" is y+2 , while "twice the smaller" is 2x

Their sum is y+2+2x

And since we know that y=13-x, we have y+2+2x=13-x+2+2=15+x

A store manager is accepting applications for part-time workers. he can hire no more than 14 people. so far,he has hired 9 peopl
Lorico [155]

The manager already hired 9 people. Let x be the number of people he still can hire. Since these people will add to the 9 he already hired, when the hiring campaign will be over he will have hired 9+x people. We know that he can't hire more than 14 people, so the number of people hired must be less than or equal to 14:

9+x \leq 14

If we subtract 9 from both sides, we have

x \leq 14-9=5

so, the manager can hire at most 5 other people

Jasmine buys 3 T-Shirts and 3 Hats for $11.25. The next day, he buys 4 T-Shirts and 2 Hats for $10. How much does each T-Shirt a
leonid [27]

Answer: Each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Cost per T-shirt, y = Cost per Hat.

As per given,

3x+3y=11.25        (i)

4x+2y=10             (ii)

Multiply 4 to equation (i)

12x+12y=45          (iii)

12x+6y= 30             (iv)

Eliminate (iv) from (iii), we get

6y= 15

⇒ y = 2.5

Put value of y in (i)

3x+3(2.5)=11.25

⇒3x+7.5=11.25

⇒3x= 3.75

⇒x= 1.25

Hence, each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.

A fair spinner has 10 equal sections: 3 red, 3 blue and 4 green. It is spun twice. What is the probability of getting not green
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome. The probability that an even will happen or not happen is 1.

Given that the spun has 10 sections 3 red, 3 blue and 4 green, the probability of not getting green

= (3 + 3)/(3 + 3 + 4)

= 6/10

The probability of getting green

= 4/10

Hence the probability of getting not green then green

= 6/10 * 4/10

= 24/100

= 0.24
