X+y=21
xy=110

x+y=21
subtract x form both sides
y=21-x
subsitute
x(21-x)=110
21x-x^2=110
add x^2-21x to both sides
0=x^2-21x+110
use quaratic formula which is
(-b+/-√(b^2-4ac)/(2a)=x
when you have it in the format of ax^2+bx+c=0 so

a=1
b=-21
c=110

input
two equations
(-(-21)+√(-21^2-4 times 1 times 110))/(2) or (-(-21)+√(-21^2-4 times 1 times 110))/2

the answer is
10 or 11

that is the answer

the ages are 10 and 11

Marco needs to buy some cat food. At the nearest​ store, 5 bags of cat food cost ​$18.75. How much would Marco spend on 3 bags o
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

$11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

5 bags = $18.75

To find the amount for three bags, we need to find the price for <em>each </em>bag.

Divide 18.75 by 5.

18.75/5 = 3.75

So each bag is 3.75, and since we need to know the price for 3 bags, we need to multiply 3.75 by 3, which is 11.25.

Here’s my dilemma, I can accept a $1000 bill or play a game ten times. For each roll of the single die, I win $500 for rolling 1
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

you should accept the $1,000 bill

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information:

  • $500 for rolling 1 or 2
  • $400 for rolling 3
  • lose $300 for rolling 4,5,6

P (rolling 1 or 2) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

P (rolling a 3) = 1/6

P (rolling 4 or 5 or 6) = 3/6 = 1/2

Hence, the expected value for 1 time is:

E = (1/3)*500 + (1/6)*400 - (1/2)*300

E = $166 + $66 - $150

E = $82

Expected value is linear so if you roll the die 10 times, expected value is: 10*82 = $820

The expected value is $82, meaning you should accept the $1,000 bill
