They will have the same amount of money after 7 weeks.

We first set these equal to each other:
36+4x=x²+15

We want to gather all of the variables on one side.  Subtract 4x from both sides:
36+4x-4x=x²+15-4x
36=x²-4x+15

We want the equation to be equal to 0 to solve it, so subtract 36 from both sides:
36-36=x²-4x+15-36
0=x²-4x-21

We can factor this expression.  We want factors of -21 that sum to -4; -7(3)=-21 and -7+3=-4:
0=(x-7)(x+3)

Using the zero product property, we know that x-7=0 or x+3=0; this means x=7 or x=-3.  Since a negative number of weeks makes no sense, the answer is 7 weeks.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

I believe it would be 192 milligrams.

Step-by-step explanation:

They said the amount of sodium is equal to the amount of ounces meaning it would be 6ounce:96milligrams. In this case, doubling 6 would be 12, resulting in doubling 96 as well. I'm not 100% sure, this problem contains an unnecessary amount of information for a simple concept.

Suppose that the number of drivers who travel between a particular origin and destination during a designated time period has a
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of drivers who travel between a particular origin and destination during a designated time period has a Poisson distribution with parameter μ = 20 (suggested in the article "Dynamic Ride Sharing: Theory and Practice"†).

a) P(X\leq 15) = 0.1565=0.157

b) P(X>26) =1-F(26)\\= 1-0.9221\\=0.0779=0.078

c) P(15\leq x\leq 26)\\=F(26)-F(14)\\=0.9221-0.1049\\=0.8172=0.817

d) 2 std dev = 2(20) =40

Hence 2 std deviation means

20-40, 20+40

i.e. (0,60)

P(0

Andre says 10x + 6 and 5x + 11 are equivalent because they both equal 16 when x is 1. Do you agree with Andre?​
Serga [27]

Answer:

No, They are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

The two expressions are only said to be equivalent if they are the same regardless of whatever value the variable(s) is.

The variable in this question is x.

To prove this, we equate both expressions:

10x + 6 = 5x + 11

10x - 5x = 11 - 6\\\\\\5x = 5\\\\\\x = 1

This shows that they have the same value ONLY when x is 1.

This is why Andre says that they are equivalent, but they are not.
