Answer: 4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Melinda: y = 10x + 22

George: y = 13x + 10


13x + 10 = 10x + 22

<u>-10x        </u>  <u>-10x          </u>

 3x   + 10 =         22

<u>          -10 </u>   <u>       -10 </u>

3x            =         12

<u>÷3            </u>     <u>      ÷3 </u>

  x            =          4

Lets say Y is the amount they will save.

So Melinda's savings could be described by the equation Y=22+10X, where X is the number of weeks. The same goes to George, but his equation would be Y=10+13X.


To save the same amount, their equations must match:

22+10X = 10+13X

Solving this, one gets

12 = 3x

=> 4=x

So the answer is 4 weeks.

(6x – 5) – x=3 =2(x + 1)​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

5/7 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x – 5) – x=3 =2(x + 1)​ (distribute them)

6x + 10 - 15x = 3 - 2x  + 2

-9x + 10 = 5 - 2x

10 - 5 = -2x + 9x

5 = 7

5/7 = x

Lynn has a watering can that holds 32 cups of water, and she fills it half full. Then she waters her 21 plants so that each plan
notka56 [123]

Amount of water Lynn's watering can can hold = 32 cups

As she fills it half full means she fills it with 32/2= 16 cups

Number of plants watered from 16 cups = 21 plants

As, each plant gets same amount of water, so each plant gets =

\frac{16}{21} cups or 0.76 cups of water

Hence, each plant gets 0.76 cups of water.

A research company desires to know the mean consumption of meat per week among people over age 23. A sample of 164 people over a
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for the mean consumption of meat among people over age 23 is between 4 and 4.2 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.8}{2} = 0.1

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9, so z = 1.28

Now, find M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.28*\frac{0.7}{\sqrt{164}} = 0.07

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.1 - 0.07 = 4.03 pounds

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 4.1 + 0.07 = 4.17 pounds

Rounded to one decimal place

The 80% confidence interval for the mean consumption of meat among people over age 23 is between 4 and 4.2 pounds.
