Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
the sum of the roots = - 
x² + 6x - 55 = 0
with a = 1 , b = 6 , then
sum of roots = -
= - 6
Answer:
he was a little bit off but he was close because it $26.95
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 5 x 1.31= 6.55
2. 3x2.34=7.02
3. 6.55+7.02+13.38= 26.95
For the mix you need 60 Ib of nuts and raisins, and 60 lb of mix will sell for $300.
Let <em>x</em> be the weight of nuts and <em>y</em> the weight of raisins needed for the mix.
Total weight = <em>x</em>+<em>y</em> = 60, so <em>y</em> = 60 - <em>x</em>
Total value = 6<em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> = 300. From the above, we can substitute the <em>y</em> for 60 - x:
Total value = 6<em>x</em> + 3(60 - <em>x</em>) = 300, which we can simplify to:
6<em>x</em> + 180 - 3<em>x</em> = 300, and simplify again to:
3<em>x</em> = 120, and again to:
<em>x</em> = 40. We can now calculate<em> y</em> from the first equation y = 60 - <em>x</em>, so:
y = 20.
40 lb of nuts and 20 lb of raisins. Check:
40 lb x $6/lb = $240, and 20 lb x $3/lb = $60, $240 + $60 = $300.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of getting the newspaper on his front porch = P(A) = 0.64
Probability of finding the newspaper on his lawn = P(B) =? (We don't know, this is what we have to find.)
Total probability = 1
Formula, P(A) + P(B) = 1
Let's put all values in this formula,
0.64 + P(B) = 1
P(B) = 1 - 0.64
P(B) = 0.36
Thus, the probablity that Mr. Johnson finds his newspaper on his lawn is 0.36 or 36%.
