Assuming she make no profit and no loss from the business.

Let the number of gallons of the $8 grade water used be x, that of the $3 grade water, y, and that of the $4.50 grade water be z, then:

x + y + z = 200 . . . (1)
8x + 3y + 4.5z = 200(5) = 1,000 . . . (2)
z = 2y . . . (3)

Putting equation (3) into equations (1) and (2), we have:

x + y + 2y = 200
or x + 3y = 200 . . . (4)
and
8x + 3y + 4.5(2y) = 1000
or 8x + 3y + 9y = 1000
or 8x + 12y = 1000 . . . (5)

Multiplying equation (4) by 4, we have:
4x + 12y = 800 . . . (6)

Subtracting equation (6) from equation (5), we have:
4x = 200
or x = 200 / 4 = 50

Substituting for x into equation (4), we have:
50 + 3y = 200
or 3y = 200 - 50 = 150
or y = 150 / 3 = 50

Substituting for z into equation (3) gives:

z = 2(50) = 100

Therefore, 50 gallons each of the $8 grade water and the $3 grade water should be used and 100 gallons of the $4.50 grade water.

sasho [114]

Answer:

Predicted value YHat is a symbol used to represent the predicted equation for a line of best fit in a linear regression. The equation usually take the form of 'a' as the y- intercept and 'b' as the slope of the graph. It is calculated from estimated regression equations for the line of best fit.

While outcome of experiment is the total of all possible results from an experiment.

If jammy makes 4 baskets in 1/2 of an hour how much can she make in 5 hours
coldgirl [10]

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation: If she made 4 baskets in a half an hour then one hour she would make 8 in one hour and in 2 hours she would make 16 because 8 hours from the first hour and 8 more from the second hour. Because there is 1 hour and in the hour she made 8 if she needs 5 hours just multiply 8 by 5. That would give you 40.
