This is a multi step problem. For this we do system of equations.

2.5x + 7y = 82.50
X+y = 24

To do the elimination method we have to make the y values equals to each other so we multiply the x+y=24 equation by 7

7x +7y = 168
-
2.5x + 7y = 82.50
———————————-
4.5x = 85.50
————————-
4.5. 4.5

X = 19

19 cats on Friday

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Both means are apprxoimately equal at 1% level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the information summarised below

Group   Men     Women  

Mean 23.00 28.00

SD 5.00 10.00

SEM 1.00 1.83

N 25     30    

H0: Mean of mean = mean of women

Ha: means of men < mean of women

(Left tailed test)

Since population std deviation is known but sample sizes are small t test is used.

The mean of Men minus Women equals -5.00

standard error of difference = 2.201

t = 2.2721

 df = 53

p value= 0.0136

since p >0.01 at 1% significance level we fail to reject H0.

Both means are apprxoimately equal at 1% level of significance.

A toxic radioactive substance with a density of 2 milligrams per square centimeter is detected in the ventilating ducts of a nuc
Zolol [24]

Answer:

60.5 milligrams per square centimeter First, determine how many half lives have expired by dividing the time by the half-life. So: 55/20 = 2.75 That means that only 2^(-2.75) = 0.148650889 = 14.8650889% of the original substance remains. So just divide the amount remaining by 0.148650889 to get the original amount. 9 / 0.148650889 = 60.5445419 So originally, there was 60.5 milligrams per square centimeter 55 years ago.

Match the products of rational expressions with their simplest forms.
Alborosie
Lets simplify each one of the rational expressions using the product rule of exponents: a^n*a^m=a^{n+m} and the quotient rule of exponents: \frac{a^n}{a^m} =a^{n-m}.

1.  \frac{-3x^2}{2y^2} * \frac{y^2}{9x} =- \frac{x}{6} = \frac{-1}{6} x

2. \frac{5y^2}{10x^2} * \frac{4x^2}{y} =2y

3. \frac{-9y^2}{5x} * \frac{-10x^2}{3y} =6xy

4. \frac{14x^2}{5y} * \frac{-10y}{7x} =-4x

We can conclude that you should pair the rational expressions with their simplest form as follows:
6xy-----\ \textgreater \ \frac{-9y^2}{5x} * \frac{-10x^2}{3y}
\frac{-1}{6} x-----\ \textgreater \  \frac{-3x^2}{2y^2} * \frac{y^2}{9x}
-4x-----\ \textgreater \ \frac{14x^2}{5y} * \frac{-10y}{7x}
2y-----\ \textgreater \ \frac{5y^2}{10x^2} * \frac{4x^2}{y}

Mark save $258 more than Neil. In fact Mark saved $7 for every $4 Neil saved. How much money did Mark say?
olasank [31]

Let

x---------> amount of money saved by Mark

x---------> amount of money saved by Neil


we know that

x=y+258-------> equation 1

x/y=(7/4)-------> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2

(y+258) /y=7/4--------> 4*(y+258)=7*y------> 4y+1032=7y

7y-4y=1032--------> 3y=1032------> y=$344

x=344+258------>x=$602


the answer is

$602
