A large company wanted to know how the average salary of their employees had changed over the last year. the results of their study had a p-value of 0.12and showed that the average salary had increased by $1,500 from $20,000 to $21,500. The results were practically significant but not statistically significant.
1) name the variables:
- amount in account 1 "a"
- amount in account 2 "b"
2) trtanslate the statements into equations:
<span>- the
difference between account 1 and account 2 is $100.
=> a - b = 100
- if she uses 3/8 of
account 1 and 7/8 of account 2, Dawn will have a down payment of $2,000.
=> (3/8)a + (7/8)b = 2000
3) solve the system of equations
(1) a - b = 100
(2) (3/8)a + (7/8b) = 2000
Steps:
- multiply equation (1) by 7 and equaton (2) by 8
=>
(1) 7a - 7b = 700
(2) 3a + 7b = 16,000
- add the two equations
=>
7a + 3a - 7b + 7b = 700 + 16,000
- combine like terms:
10a = 16,700
- divide by 10:
a = 16,700 / 10 = 1670
- use equation (1) to find b:
a - b = 100 => b = a - 100 = 1670 - 100 = 1570
Answer: Dawn has $ 1670 in account 1 and
$ 1570 in account 2.

Answer:
3t +2
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to combine the like terms, you look at the constants and the variables. A variable has a letter in it. When looking at this expression, you find that there are two variables, 4t and -t. You then simplify these variables, getting 3t because it is 4t - t. Now, there is a two left, and since that ISN'T a variable, and is a constant, we can't do anything with it because we cannot combine it with anything else in the expression. Your guess was partially right ;)
Hope this helped!
