<h3>Given</h3>
  • 5 movies and 2 video games rent for $26
  • 3 movies and 8 video games rent for $53
<h3>Find</h3>
  • the rental cost of each
<h3>Solution</h3>

Let m and v represent the rental cost of a movie and a video game, respectively. The given information can be expressed in two equations:

... 5m +2v = 26

... 3m +8v = 53

Using Cramer's rule, we can find the solution to be

... m = (2·53 -8·26)/(2·3-8·5) = -102/-34 = 3

... v = (26·3-53·5)/-34 = 5.50

The rental cost for each movie is $3; for each video game is $5.50.

_____

The Vedic math variation of Cramer's Rule tells you the solution to

  • ax+by=c
  • dx+ey=f

is ...

  • x=(bf-ec)/(bd-ea)
  • y=(cd-fa)/(bd-ea)

Answer:

For the above to be considered a binomial experiment, it must be guaranteed:

1. That each child must offer one of two answers: yes, if I buy soda (pop) at least once a week / no, I do not buy soda (pop) at least once a week.

2. That the fact that a child, in particular, buys soda (pop) at least once a week, has no relationship (dependence) with another child buying soda (pop) at least once a week. week.

Compare the fraction 3/5 to 1/2 and then compare 2/6 to 1/2. Use symbols in your answer
worty [1.4K]
Hello there!

"Compare the fraction 3/5 to 1/2 and then compare 2/6 to 1/2. Use symbols in your answer"


To make this easier, we will make it so that both fractions in each pair has like bases.

To make 3/5 and 1/2 have a like base, we must make the denominators 10. To do this, we will do the following:

(3*2)/(5*2) = 6/10

(1*5)/(2*5) = 5/10

Now we can easily compare and not worry about the denominator

So, let's just look at the numerators. 

Which is greater, 5 or 6? We know 6 is greater, so:

6/10 > 5/10

That means:

3/5 > 1/2

Now, we must do the same for 2/6 and 1/2

We will make them both 6. So, we can leave 2/6 alone

2/6

(1*3)/(2*3) = 3/6

Now we have 2/6 and 3/6

Which is greater, 3 or 2. The answer to that is 2. So:

3/6 > 2/6

This means that 1/2 > 2/6


Our answers are:

1. 3/6 > 2/6

2. 1/2 > 2/6


I hope I was able to help you!

Find the value of x. A. 53–√ in B. 241−−√ in C. 55–√ in D. 9
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

<h2>x = 5√3 inches</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side x

Using Pythagoras theorem we have

{a}^{2}  =  {b}^{2}  +  {c}^{2}

where a is the hypotenuse

Substitute the values into the above formula

The hypotenuse is 10 inches

We have

{10}^{2}   =  {5}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}

{x}^{2}  =  {10}^{2}  -  {5}^{2}

{x}^{2}  = 100 - 25

{x}^{2}  = 75

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = 5√3 inches</h3>

Hope this helps you
