Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they lie on the same line, it means that they are collinear.

Since they are collinear, the value of the slope between each 2 point is the same. Hence, we can have points PQR with the slopes PQ, PR and QR being the same.

The general formula for finding the slope of a line with 2 end points is :

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

using the first two points,

m = (0 - 9)/-1 -2 = -9/-3 = 3

Now to get the value of n. We can use the second point and the point containing n.

This means:

3 = (21 - 0)/(n + 1)

3 = 21/n + 1

3n + 3 = 21

3n = 18

n = 6

You’ve been asked to order cake for your school dance. Here’s a formula for the scenario: z=xa/y
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The number of cake for order is 15 cakes .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Total number of people to attend the dance = x = 60

The number of slices each person will eat = A = 2 slices

The number of slices per cake = y = 8 slices

Let The number of cake for order = z

<u>Now, According to question</u>

Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = total number of people × number of slices each person will eat

i.e Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = x × A

Or, Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = 60 × 2 slices

Or,Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = 120 slices

<u>Again</u>

∵ number of slices per cake = 8

∴ The number of cake for order = \dfrac{\textrm Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices}{\textrm number of slices per cake }

Or, z = \frac{x\times A}{y}

i.e z = \frac{120}{8}

∴   z = 15 cakes

So,The number of cake for order = z = 15 cakes

Hence,The number of cake for order is 15 cakes . Answer

Darren has the option of investing in either Stock A or Stock B. The probability of the return of Stock A being 25% is 0.45, 14%
Lunna [17]

Answer:

C)A is 15.95% ,B is 11.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the expected value in probability distribution is given as

Lets X is the expected value then

X= \sum_{i=1}^{i=n} X_i P_i

For stock A

X=0.25 x 0.45+0.14 x 0.25+0.04 x 0.3

X=0.1595

So the expected return for A is 15.95%

For stock 9

X=0.3 x 0.3+0.09 x 0.25+0.02 x 0.3

X=0.1185

So the expected return for B is 11.85%

So our option C will be the answer of that problem.

What is 100 minus 6x equals 160 - 10x answer
In-s [12.5K]
10 - 6x = 160 - 10x
     +6x            +6x

-10 + 6 = -4

10 = 160 - 4x
         -160

10 - 160 = -150

-4x = -150

-4x/4 = -150/-4 

x= 37.5
