Based on the estimated number of defective batteries and the number of batteries that were actually defective, the percent error of Jake's estimate is 20%

<h3>How to find the percent error?</h3>

The percent error of a problem can be found by the formula:
= (Expected results - Actual results) / 100%

Expected results = 12 defective batteries

Actual results = 10 defective batteries

Jake's percentage error is therefore:

= (12 - 10) / 100%

= 2 / 10 x 100%

= 0.2 x 100%
= 20%

In conclusion, the percent error of Jake's estimate is 20%.

There were 65 people waiting in two lines to buy a snowball ice drink they were joined in the line by 11 more people a total of
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

67 people were still left waiting in line.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 65 plus 11 more, there'd be 76 people in line.

I guess the fact that it says "waiting in two lines" can be completely discarded because bottom line is 9 people got their drinks- which means that "waiting in two lines" means nothing.

76 - 9 = 67 people still left waiting in line.

What is the solution to the system of equations? -2x + y = -5 3x – 2y = 12 A) (3, 1) B) (6, 3) C) (-2, -9) D) (-2, -1)
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) (-2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this system of equations, start by multiplying the entire first equation by 2. Then add the two equations together. This will get the y's to cancel and allow you to solve for x.

-4x + 2y = -10

3x - 2y = 12

---------------------

-x = 2

x = -2

Now that we have the value for x, we can find y by plugging the x value into either equation.

-2x + y = -5

-2(2) + y = -5

-4 + y = -5

y = -1

Persons taking a​ 30-hour review course to prepare for a standardized exam average a score of 620 on that exam. Persons taking a
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

y = 4.125x + 496.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the data up as points. Then deal with the points.

Givens

(30,620)

(70,785)

y2 = 785

y1 = 620

x2 = 70

x1 = 30

Formula

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Solution

Slope = (785 - 620)/(70 - 30)

Slope = 165 / 40

Slope = 4.125

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

Now you need the y intercept. Either one of the two given points will give you that.

y = 620

x = 30

m = 4.125

y = mx + b

620 = 4.125*30 + b

620 = 123.75 + b

620 - 123.75 + b

b = 496.25

<h3><u>Given</u>;</h3>
  • 4(v – 13) = 12
<h3><u>To </u><u>Find</u>;</h3>
  • The value of v

Now,

4(v – 13) = 12

4(v – 13)/4 = 12/4

v – 13 = 3

v – 13 + 13 = 3 + 13

v = 16

Thus, The value of v is 16
