The slope of the line, is the one with an variable, in this case x. The other value, 27.52, is the y intercept, which would represent how much money he began with. So the variable 17.63x represents how much he could expect to make per week. We know it is per week because there is only a single x, if there were two x's it would be per 2 weeks, three x's per 3 weeks and so on.
From this we can conclude the answer is B, Aidan can expect to save about $17.63 each week
In the given question, there are several information's of immense importance and they can be used to find the necessary answers. It is already given that John and Andrew have 3.40 pound together. It is also given that John has 1.20 pound more than Andrew. It is also assumed that John has"u" pound and Andrew has "v" pounds.
Then we can write the two equations as
u + v = 3.40
u = v + 1.20
To find the values of u and v, we can replace the u in the first equation with the value of u in the second equation. Then
u + v = 3.40
(v + 1.20) + v = 3.40
2v + 1.20 = 3.40
2v = 3.40 - 1.20
2v = 2.2
v = 2.2/2
= 1.1
Now we replace the value of v in the first equation to find the value of u.
u + v = 3.40
u + 1.1 = 3.40
u = 3.40 - 1.1
u = 2.3
About 1.83. You would set up the equation like this
Answer:
x=1, y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -3x + 10 - first equation
y=-3x + 4 - second equation
rearrange the expression to
-3x-y= -10
3x-y= -4
pick an equation and simplify; lets pick the second equation
3x-y= -4
divide 3 by both sides
x= 
- third equation
substitute the value of x into an equation; lets pick the first equation
-3x-y= -10
-3
- y = -10
simplify. -3 cancels 3 so we are left with
-1(-4+y)-y = -10
simplify
4-y-y= -10
4-2y= -10
subtract 4 from both sides
-2y= -10-4
-2y= -14
divide -2 by both sides
y=7
substitute the value of y, (y=7) in an equation, we are using the second equation
3x-y= -4
3x-7= -4
3x = -4+7
3x= 3
divide 3 by both sides
x=1
so the answer is x=1, y=7
Let's attack this problem using the z-score concept. The sample std. dev. here is (0.25 oz)/sqrt(40), or 0.040. Thus, the z score representing 3.9 oz. is
3.9 - 4.0
z = -------------- = -2.5
0.040
In one way or another we must find the area under the std. normal curve that lies to the left of z = -2.5. Use a table of z-scores or a calculator with built-in statistics functions. According to my TI-83 Plus calculator, that area is
0.006. One way of interpreting this that with so small a standard deviation, most volumes of coffee put into the jars are very close to the mean, 4 oz.
