A small fruit basket with 6 apples and 6 oranges costs $7.50. A different fruit basket with 10 apples and 5 oranges costs $8.75.

If x is the cost of one apple and y is the cost of one orange, the system of equations below can be used to determine the cost of one apple and one orange. 6x+6y=7.50 10x+5y=8.75

Answer:

x = $0.50

y= $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply the equations to have the same coefficients

5(6x + 6y = 7.5) → 30x + 30y = 37.5

3(10x + 5y = 8.75) → 30x + 15y = 26.25

2. Subtract the equations

 30x + 30y = 37.5

<u>- 30x + 15y = 26.25</u>

15y = 11.25

3. Solve for y by dividing both sides by 15

y = 0.75

4. Plug in 0.75 for y into one of the equations

6x + 6(0.75) = 7.5

5. Simplify

6x + 4.5 = 7.5

6. Solve for x

6x = 3

x = 0.5

List the 8 numbers between 4 and 40 in a sequence of 10 numbers a common difference
yuradex [85]

Answer:

8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

given a₁ = 4 and a₁₀= 40 , then

4 + 9d = 40 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

9d = 36 ( divide both sides by 9 )

d = 4

add d to each term to obtain the next term

4 + 4 = 8

8 + 4 = 12

12 + 4 = 16

16 + 4 = 20

20 + 4 = 24

24 + 4 = 28

28 + 4 = 32

32 + 4 = 36

the 8 terms between 4 and 40 are

8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36

Find the coefficient of correlation between and X and Y if covariance between X and Y is 15 and the variance of X and Y are resp
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation \ coefficient \   (r) = \dfrac{covaraince \  between \ X \ and \ Y }{SD_X \times SD_Y }

Correlation \ coefficient \   (r) = \dfrac{15 }{10^{1/2} \times 25^{1/2} }

Correlation \ coefficient \   (r) = \dfrac{15 }{3.162 \times 5 }

Correlation \ coefficient \   (r) = \dfrac{15 }{15.81 }

Correlation \ coefficient \   (r) \simeq 0.95
