Answer:

Option C is correct

(20, 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Mira picked two numbers from a bowl. The difference of the two numbers was 4, and the sum of one-half of each number was 18

System of equation is given as:

\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}y = 18            .....[1]

x-y = 4                                           .....[2]

Multiply both sides by 2 in [1] we have;

x+y = 36             ....[3]

Add equations [2] and [3] we have;

2x = 40

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

x = 20

Substitute the value of x in [2] we have;

20-y = 4

Subtract 20 from both sides we have;

-y = -16

Divide both sides by -1 we have;

y = 16

therefore, the two numbers did Mira pick is, (20, 16)

If x^2-x-6 and x^2+3x-18 hacpve a common factor (x-a) then find the value of a.​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor both expressions

x² - x - 6

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 1)

The factors are - 3 and + 2 , since

- 3 × 2 = - 6 and - 3 + 2 = - 1 , thus

x² - x - 6 = (x - 3)(x + 2)

-----------------------------------

x² + 3x - 18

consider factors of constant term (- 18) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 3)

The factors are + 6 and - 3 , since

6 × - 3 = - 18 and 6 - 3 = + 3 , thus

x² + 3x - 18 = (x + 6)(x - 3)

Both expressions have a common factor of (x - 3)

Compare with (x - a ), then a = 3

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! (No links)
marta [7]

Answer:

No it is not a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you should replace your (x,y) with (8,3)- 8 being your x value and 3 being your y value.

So this inequality, your y value is supposed to be bigger than the value of whatever 3x-4 equals.

So, your inequality should be 3>3(8)-4

3*8=24-4=20

So is 3>(greater than)20? No. Which then means that (8,3) is not a solution because it would make the inequality not true.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Stratified design with color of paper as the blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental design that this question uses is the stratified design with color of paper as the blocks

A stratified design is one where the population has been divided into strata that are homogeneous. A good number of participants would then be picked for each of the stratum. The homogeneous strata are also known as the blocks and here in this question we have color of paper as the block here.

The students are of different school levels, elementary, high school and middle school. Each of these levels have 100 students. The students in each levels are halved and each half is randomly assigned information on either a white paper or a blue paper.
