X=numerator
y=denominator
the sum of numerator and denominator=x+y
we suggest this system of equations:

y=x-3
(x+5) / (y+5)=5/6

we solve this system of equation by substitution method.
(x+5) / (x-3+5)=5/6
(x+5) / (x+2)=5/6
6(x+5)=5(x+2)
6x+30=5x+10
6x-5x=10-30
x=-20

y=x-3=-20-3=-23

Teh sum of the numerator an denominator=-20+(-23)=-43

Answer:    -43

In a random sample of 205 people, 149 said that they watched educational television. Find the 95% confidence interval of the tru
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: Given a sample of 200, we are 90% confident that the true proportion of people who watched educational TV is between 72.1% and 81.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{154}{200} =0.77

1-0.77=0.23

\sqrt{\frac{(0.77)(0.23)}{200} }=0.049

0.77±0.049< 0.819, 0.721

If the price of an object dropped 75% down to $85.99 what was the original price?
Serggg [28]
If the price of an object drastically dropped 75%, then the dropped price is equal to 25% of the original price. That means that to find the original price, we have to multiply by the reciprocal of 25% (4). The original price would be $85.99 * 4 which is $343.96.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:   1/6

Reason:

There's 1 side labeled "4" out of 6 sides total. So that's where the 1/6 comes from.

The "given that you already rolled a four on the first die" is unneeded info in my opinion, because each die is separate or independent from one another.
