Jake is comparing the prices of two laundry service companies. Company A charges $20 per load and an additional $8 as service ch

arges. Company B charges $24 per load and an additional $4 as service charges.
Part A: Write equations to represent Company A's and Company B's total laundry charges for a certain number of loads. Define the variable used in the equations.
Part B: Which company would charge less for 5 loads of laundry? Justify your answer.
Part C: How much money is saved by using the services of Company A instead of Company B to clean 9 loads of laundry?

Equation for company a: y=20x+8
Equation for company b: y=24x+4
Company A would be cheaper for 5 loads of laundry, because it is $108 dollars opposed to $124 which is what company b would charge for 5 loads.
$32 dollars is saved by using the services of company A instead of company B to clean 9 loads of laundry.

Find the probability of rolling an odd sum or a sum less than 7 when a pair of dice is rolled
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

For the pairs that satisfy that the sum is less than 7 we have:

(1,1) (2,1) (1,2) (3,1) (2,2) (1,3) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (5,1) (4.2) (3,3) (2,4) (1,5)

So we have a total of 15 pairs where the sum is less than 7

And for an odd sum we have the following pairs

(2,1) (1,2) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (6,2) (5,2) (4,3) (3,4) (2,5) (1,6) (6,3) (5,4) (4,5) (3,6) (6,5) (5,6)

A total of 18 pairs and we have 6 pairs who are in both cases for the sum less than 7 and the sum an odd number that represent the intersection and using the total probability rule we got:

P = \frac{15+18-6}{36}= \frac{27}{33}= 0.818

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case when a pair of dice is rolled we have the following sample pace for the outcomes:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

We see 36 possible outcomes and we want to find how many of these pairs we got rolling an odd sum or a sum less than 7

For the pairs that satisfy that the sum is less than 7 we have:

(1,1) (2,1) (1,2) (3,1) (2,2) (1,3) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (5,1) (4.2) (3,3) (2,4) (1,5)

So we have a total of 15 pairs where the sum is less than 7

And for an odd sum we have the following pairs

(2,1) (1,2) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (6,2) (5,2) (4,3) (3,4) (2,5) (1,6) (6,3) (5,4) (4,5) (3,6) (6,5) (5,6)

A total of 18 pairs and we have 6 pairs who are in both cases for the sum less than 7 and the sum an odd number that represent the intersection and using the total probability rule we got:

P = \frac{15+18-6}{36}= \frac{27}{33}= 0.818

Which value or in the solution set of the inequality − 2/3 x + 13 ≥ − 1
Svetach [21]

Answer:

x\leq21

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2/3)x+13≥ -1

    (-2/3)x≥ -14 (I subtracted by 13 on both sides)

             x\leq-14*(-3/2) (I divided by -2/3 on both sides)

             x\leq21

How many liters each of a 25% acid solution and a 50% acid solution must be used to produce 80 liters of a 40% acid solution?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

  • 32 and 48 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 25% solution is x liters, then 50% solution is (80 - x) liters.

<u>Acid content is going to be same:</u>

  • 0.25x + 0.5(80 - x) = 80*0.4
  • 0.25x - 0.5x + 40 = 32
  • 0.25x = 8
  • x = 8/0.25
  • x = 32 liters

So 32 liters of 25% solution and 80 - 32 = 48 liters of 50% solution

20 points!!!!! The table represents a linear function
Darya [45]
I believe the answer is 5. I multiplied 5 to -4 and that’s -20 and I’m guessing since slope-intercept form is y=Mx+b I’m thinking b=4 and the slope being 5 matches the output. -16=5(-4)+4
