Answer:

\huge \boxed{x=-3 \ \mathrm{and} \ y=17}

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting both equations:

    5x + y = 2

 -  (4x + y = 5)

————————

1x + 0y = -3

x = -3

Substituting x = -3 for the second equation:

4(-3) + y = 5

Solving for y.

-12 + y = 5

y = 17

\rule[225]{225}{2}

jeds market has a total of 26 employees. Each full time employee makes $275/ week, and each part-time employee makes $140/ week.
ollegr [7]

The number of full time employees is 17 and the number of part time employee is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let f represent the number of full time employee and p represent the number of part time employee

Total number of employees = 26

Hence we have f + p = 26

Step 2 :

Wages of full time employee  = $275

Wages of part time employee = $140

Total wages paid by Jeds = $ 5935

Hence we have 275 f + 140 p = 5935

Step 3:

Solving the equations obtained in step 1 and step 2 we have

f + p = 26, Multiplying by 275 = > 275 f + 275 p = 7150

275 f + 140 p = 5935

Subtracting equation 2 from 1 we have

135 p = 1215 => p = 9

Substituting this in f + p = 26 gives, f + 9 = 26

So f = 17

Step 4 :

Answer :

The number of full time employees is 17 and the number of part time employee is 9

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

102 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 65% and 71% are both 1 standard deviation from the mean (71%).  According to the empirical rule, 68% of scores lie within 1 std. dev. of the mean.

68% of 150 students would be 0.68(150 students) = 102 students
