Step On
Change the % to a decimal
42% = 42/100 = 0.42

Step Two
Write the givens.
% = 0.42
Size in the % = 2835

Step Three
Write the equation
Let x = the size of the sample

0.42 x = 2835  Divide by 0.42
x = 2835 / 0.42
x = 6950 

The number o f people in the group was 6950 <<<< Answer

Anumeha is mowing the lawns for a summer job. For every mowing job, she charges and initial fee of $10 plus a constant fee for e
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

F(t) = 10 +5t

Step-by-step explanation:

Income equals the initial fee plus the hours worked times the hourly rate

We know the initial fee = 10

hours = t

hourly rate =r


F(t) = 10 + r*t

We know a 5 hour job is 35 dollars

35 = 10 + r*5

Subtract 10 from each side

35-10 = 10-10 +5r

25 = 5r

Divide by 5

25/5 = 5r/5

5 =r

The hourly rate is 5

F(t) = 10 +5t

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: E
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question :

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: Equals negative 4 + 6 + 5 Step 3: Equals 7 What, if any, was Jane's mistake?

Jane's evaluation :

x² - 3x + 5 for x = - 2

Step 1:

(-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

Step 2:

-4 + 6 + 5

Step 3 :

= 7

Jane's mistake was in STEP2,

evaluating (-2)² = 4 and not - 4

Hence, (-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

= 4 + 6 + 5

= 15

A certain store sells small, medium, and large toy trucks in each of the colors red, blue,green, and yellow. The store has an eq
salantis [7]

Answer:

The probability that the truck she selects will have at least one of the two features that Ella Stella wants is 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a certain store sells small, medium, and large toy trucks in each of the colors red, blue, green, and yellow, and the store has an equal number of trucks of each possible color / size combination, if Stella wants a medium red truck and her mother will randomly select one of the trucks in the store, to determine what is the probability that the truck she selects will have at least one of the two features that Stella wants, the following calculation must be performed:

3 sizes

4 colors

4 x 3 = 12

4 midsize cars

3 red cars

1 medium red car

4 + 3 - 1 = 6

6/12 = 0.5

Therefore, the probability that the truck she selects will have at least one of the two features that Ella Stella wants is 50%.

What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first?
dusya [7]

Answer: 11x-8y=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember:

1) The mulitplication of signs:

(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-\\(+)(-)=-

2) By definition, like terms contain the same variables with the same exponent.

Then knowing this, and given the equations:

8x - 4y = -4 and -3x+ 4y = 5

You must subtract the like terms, which means that you must subtract the numerical coefficients of each term.

Then, you get the result is:

8x - 4y = -4\\-3x+ 4y = 5\\...............................................\\8x-(-3x)-4y-4y=-4-5\\8x+3x-8y=-9\\11x-8y=-9

Find real or imaginary solutions of x^4-10x^2=-9
malfutka [58]
This resembles a quadratic and we can factor it using that pattern.

(x^2)^2-(10x^2)+9=0

(x^2-9)(x^2-1)

(x+3)(x-3)(x+1)(x-1)=0
