Answer:

13 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the pens and y be the pencils

Given:

Brian purchased pens for 75 cents each and pencils for 40 cents each he bought total of 22 writing utensils for $11.95.

Total pens and pencils is 22

So, x+y=22----------------(1)

And he bought all utensils for $11.95. and each pen for 75 cents and pencils for 40 cents.

0.75x+0.40y=11.95------------(2)

solve equation 1 and equation 2 for x and y.

From equation 1.

x+y=22

y=22-x----------------(3)

put y value in equation 2.

0.75x+0.4(22-x)=11.95

0.75x+0.4\times 22-0.4x=11.95

0.75x+8.8-0.4x=11.95

0.75x-0.4x=11.95-8.8

0.35x=3.15

x=\frac{3.15}{0.35}

x=9

Now substitute x value in equation 3.

y=22-9

y=13

So, he buy 13 pencils.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Left side of graph of function would be up  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 3x^{4} -x^{2} +4x-2.

To find : In which direction does the left side of the graph of this function point.

Solution : We have given that 3x^{4} -x^{2} +4x-2.

We can see from the given function Degree is even and leading coefficient is positive .

By the behavior of end points : left side of graph would be up  .

Therefore,  left side of graph of function would be up  .

10-mg Atorvastatin Placebo Headache 15 65 No headache 17 3 3. If two different subjects are randomly selected, find the probabil
balu736 [363]

Answer:

0.6384

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

10-mg Atorvastatin Placebo Headache  15      65       No headache 17      3

Hence the total of number of patients = 15 + 65 + 17 + 3 = 100 patients

The number of patients with headache = 15 + 65 = 80 patients

Also, C(n, x) is the number of combinations in which n items can be chosen taken x at a time it is given by the formula:

C(n,x)=\frac{n!}{(n-x)!x!}

The the probability that if two different subjects they both had a headache = \frac{C(80,2)}{C(100,2)}=\frac{\frac{80!}{(80-2)!2!} }{\frac{100!}{(100-2)!2!} }  =\frac{3160}{4950}=0.6384

Al, Tom and Joe share €3000.
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Tom's share = €800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount shared by Al, Tom and Joe = €3000

Ratio of Al's share to Tom's share = 5 : 4

Joe's share = 1.5(Tom's share) = 1.5(4) = 6

Therefore,

Ratio of Al, Tom and Joe = 5 : 4 : 6

Let,

x be the number of times of amount each get.

5x + 4x + 6x = 3000

15x = 3000

Dividing both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{3000}{15}\\x=200

Tom's share = 4x = 4(200) = €800

Hence,

Tom's share = €800
