x = number of packages he bought

y = number of popsicles in each package

Here are the two equations:

xy = 54

x = 3 + y

Using the substitution method, you can solve them to find x and y.

(3 + y)y = 54,

3y + y^2 = 54

y^2 + 3y - 54 = 0

Solve the quadriatic equation:

(y +9)(y - 6) = 0

y = -9, 6.

Plug y into: xy = 54

x(-9) = 54, x = -6.

x(6) = 54, x = 9.

So he bought 9 packages of popsicles, bc you can't bye -6 packages.

Of 340 male and 270 female employees at the home office of Gibraltar Insurance Company, 170 of the men and 180 of the women are
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.486.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of employees at the home office of Gibraltar Insurance Company is 270 + 340 = 610

Number of employees on flex time are 350, out of which 170 are men and 180 are women.

We need to find the probability that out of the given employees, a randomly chosen one is on flex time and is a man.

Favorable outcomes are 170 and total outcome is 350.

Thus the probability is given by \frac{170}{350} = 0.4857≈ 0.486

Solve the following system:
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Read explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Use elimination

Add them all up

y = 1 ( everything else cancels )

-2x + 2(1) + z = 14

3x - 2(1) + z = -5

-x +(1) - 2z = -8

simplify

-2x + z = 12

3x + z = -3

-x -2z = -9

U can't use elimation because it would turn into 0 = 0

change last equation

x + 2z = 9

x = -2z + 9

plug that in

-2(-2z+9) + z = 12

3(-2z+9) + z = -3

-(-2z+9) - 2z = -9

4z - 18 = 12

-6z + 27 + z =-3

2z - 9 - 2z = -9

simplify

4z = 30

-5z = -30

0 = 0

z = 6

y = 1

x = -3
