Answer:

The cost of one drink is $2.5 and the cost of one bag of popcorn is $8.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let price of one drink is x and the price of one bag of popcorn is y.

Adam spends a total of $62.75 on 2 drinks and 7 bags of popcorn.

$2x+7y=62.75$

$2x=62.75-7y$ ......(1)

Ian spends a total of $43.00 on 4 drinks and 4 bags of popcorn.

$4x+4y=43.00$

Now use substitute the value of 2x in above equation.

$2(62.75-7y)+4y=43.00$

$125.5-14y+4y=43.00$

$-10y=43.00-125.5$

$10y=82.5$

$y=8.25$

Hence the value of y is $8.25

Now find the value of x as shown:

$2x=62.75-7(8.25)$

$2x=5$

$x=2.5$

Hence, the cost of one drink is $2.5 and the cost of one bag of popcorn is $8.25

You buy the same number of brushes, rollers and paint cans. Write an expression in simples form that represents the total amount

jeyben [28]

T= 21.79x + 3.99x + 6.89x where t is the total cost and x is the number of brushes/rollers/paint cans you buy. You don't need a different variable for each item because you buy the same amount of each.

The grade appeal process at a university requires that a jury be structured by selecting six individuals randomly from a pool of

romanna [79]

Answer: a) $\dfrac{3}{874}$

b) $\dfrac{30}{3059}$

c) $\dfrac{3575}{12236}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of students : 11

Number of faculty members : 13

Total persons : $11+13=24$

Total number of ways to structure a jury of six people from a group of 24 people :-

$^{24}C_{6}=\dfrac{24!}{6!(24-6)!}=134596$

a) Number of ways of selecting a jury of all students :-

$^{11}C_{6}=\dfrac{11!}{6!(11-6)!}=462$

Then , the probability of selecting a jury of all students :-

$\dfrac{462}{134596}=\dfrac{3}{874}$

b) Number of ways of selecting a jury of all faculty :-

$^{13}C_{6}=\dfrac{13!}{6!(13-6)!}=462$

Then , the probability of selecting a jury of all students :-

$\dfrac{1716}{134596}=\dfrac{30}{3059}$

c) Number of ways of selecting a jury of two students and four faculty :-

$^{11}C_{2}\times^{13}C_{4}=\dfrac{11!}{2!(11-2)!}\times\dfrac{13!}{4!(13-4)!}=39325$

Then , the probability of selecting a jury of all students :-

$\dfrac{39325}{134596}=\dfrac{3575}{12236}$

3² +4² = 5²,

AlekseyPX

Answer:

They are all true

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3² +4² = 5²

3x3 + 4x4 = 5x5

9 + 16 = 25

25 = 25

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

2. 6² + 8² = 10²

36 + 64 = 100

100 = 100

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

3. 9² + 12² = 15²

81 + 144 = 225

225 = 225

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

4. 5² +12² =13²

25 + 144 = 169

169 =169

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