G=gas
w=bottle of water

8g + 2w = 29
12g + 4w = 45
I'm going to use elimination to cancel out the variable w by multiplying the first equation by -2.

-16g - 4w = -58
12g + 4w = 45
-4g = -13
/-4 /-4
g = 3.25

Now plug it into an equation, any equation.
8 (3.25) + 2w = 29
26 +2w=29
w=1.5
Now to check, plug it into both equations if you want.

12 (3.25) + 4 (1.5)=45
39 + 6=45

One bottle of water is $1.50, while one gallon of gas is $3.25.

The output of a process is stable and normally distributed. If the process mean equals 23.5, the percentage of output expected t
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Option a) 50% of output expected to be less than or equal to the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The output of a process is stable and normally distributed.

Mean = 23.5

We have to find the percentage of output expected to be less than or equal to the mean.

Mean of a normal distribution.

  • The mean of normal distribution divides the data into exactly two equal parts.
  • 50% of data lies to the right of the mean.
  • 50% of data lies to the right of the mean

Thus, by property of normal distribution 50% of output expected to be less than or equal to the mean.

What are the factors of the equation 24x^2=9-30x?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

3(4x - 1)(2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation into standard form

Subtract 9 - 30x from both sides

24x² + 30x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form

Take out 3 as a common factor

3(8x² + 10x - 3) = 0 ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x term

product = 8 × - 3 = - 24, sum = 10

The factors are - 2 and + 12

Use these factors to replace the x- term, that is

8x² - 2x + 12x - 3 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(4x - 1) + 3(4x - 1) ← take out the common factor (4x - 1)

(4x - 1)(2x + 3)

24x² + 30x - 9 = 3(4x - 1)(2x + 3) ← in factored form

The circumference of a circle exceeds the radius by 74 cm. Find the radius of the circle.​
saw5 [17]

Answer:

14 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the radius of the circle = r cm.

Then circumference of circle = 2 π r.

Since circumference exceeds the radius by 74 cm

Therefore, according to the question,

\sf \:2 π r = r+ 74

\sf \: =   > 2 \times  \frac{22}{7}  \times r =  r \:  + 74

\sf \: =  >  \frac{44r}{7}  -r  = 74

\sf \:  =  > \frac{44r - 7r}{7}  = 74

\sf \: =  >  \frac{37r}{7}  = 74

\sf \: =  > r =  \frac{7 \times 74}{37}

\sf \: =  >  r = 14

  • Hence, the radius of the circle is 14 cm.
