The complete problem wants to know the more cost-effective choice is the printing company replaces its press machine every four years. With this in mind, if they choose Company A, the total amount that needs to be paid to cover 12(4) = 48 months will be Company A = 9 500 + 48(750) = $13 100 As for Company B, the highest probability of not having any repairs over the four years is 0.32 while there's 0.14 chance that number of repairs will be 3 over the time the contract is applied. This means that the possible amounts to be paid to Company B are Company B = 10 500 + 0(150) = $10 500 Company B = 10 500 + 1(150) = $10 650 Company B = 10 500 + 2(150) = $10 800 Company B = 10 500 + 3(150) = $10 950 This shows that choosing the machine from Company B would be better. Hence, the answer is Company B<span>.</span>

Combine any like terms in the expression. If there are no like terms, rewrite the expression.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

40w^3

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you meant w^3 (w to the third power). In that case, you would just add 34 + 13 + 11 - 18 because they are all like terms (coefficients of w^3).

What is the answer ?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

A) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I<em>n a box-and-whisker plot, the left "whisker" is the bottom 25%, the line between the two "boxes" is to 50%, and the right "whisker" is the top 25%</em>.

In class 2, the 90 point mark is where the line between the boxes are, which means that 50% of the class earned 90% or less. That is 13/2 = <em>6.5 people</em> (this is impossible but it will work out)

In class 1, the 80 point mark is also where 50% is. So, half of the students, 17/2 = <em>8.5 people</em>, have 80 points or less.

<em>8.5 - 6.5 =</em> 2 people.
