Answer:

X + Y + Z = 32

X2 = Y

X3 + 2 = Z

X + X2 + X3 + 2 = 32

Make X alone

There is a 2 so we subtract 2 from both sides

X + X2 + X3 = 30

Add the X's up

X + X2 + X3 = X6

X6 = 30

Divide by 6

30 / 6 = 5

You are left with X=5

The first piece of wood has a length of 5

5 x 2 = 10

The second piece has a value of 10

5 x 3 + 2 = 17

The third piece is 17

Hope this helps. If you have any questions you may ask.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

a) 0.383

b) 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Calculate each z-score.

z = (x − μ) / σ

z₁ = (112 − 118) / 12 = -0.5

z₂ = (124 − 118) / 12 = 0.5

Use a calculator or z-score table to find the probability.

P(-0.5 < Z < 0.5) = 0.6915 − 0.3085 = 0.383

b) 0.383 × 16 ≈ 6.  So the expected proportion would be 6/16 = 0.375.

Set up a systems of equations where x equals the number of children and y equals the number of adults
(≈ is being used as an equal sign)
x + y≈ 182
1.75x + 2.25y ≈ 346.50
solve for x and then plug that back in to get the value for y
check your work by plugging both back into one of the original equations
