-47 - 15y =-17 -x+ 5y=-13

Mathematics

-47 - 15y =-17.....Equation A

-x+ 5y=-13..........Equation B

Solve B for y.

-x + 5y = -13

5y = x - 13

y = (x - 13)/5

Plug y into A.

-47 -15y = -17

-47 -15(x - 13)/5 = -17

-47 -3(x - 13) = -17

-47 -3x + 39 = -17

-3x - 8 = -17

-3x = -17 + 8

-3x = -9

x = -9/-3

x = 3

Now that we know x is 3, plug 3 for x into EITHER Equation A or B (your choice) to find y.

I will let you do that.

The weekly amount spent by a small company for in-state travel has approximately a normal distribution with mean $1450 and stand
Llana [10]

Answer:

0.0903

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The mean = 1450

The standard deviation = 220

sample mean = 1560

P(X > 1560) = P( Z > \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma})

P(X > 1560) = P(Z > \dfrac{1560 - 1450}{220})

P(X > 1560) = P(Z > \dfrac{110}{220})

P(X> 1560) = P(Z > 0.5)

P(X> 1560) = 1 - P(Z < 0.5)

From the z tables;

P(X> 1560) = 1 - 0.6915

P(X> 1560) = 0.3085

Let consider the given number of weeks = 52

Mean \mu_x = np = 52 × 0.3085 = 16.042

The standard deviation =  \sqrt {n \time p (1-p)}

The standard deviation = \sqrt {52 \times 0.3085 (1-0.3085)}

The standard deviation = 3.3306

Let Y be a random variable that proceeds in a binomial distribution, which denotes the number of weeks in a year that exceeds $1560.

Then;

Pr ( Y > 20) = P( z > 20)

Pr ( Y > 20) = P(Z > \dfrac{20.5 - 16.042}{3.3306})

Pr ( Y > 20) = P(Z >1 .338)

From z tables

P(Y > 20) \simeq 0.0903

At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for $336. This is a 36% discount from the original price.
8090 [49]

Answer:

$525

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price by using the formula x - 0.36x = 336, where x is the original price, 0.36 is the discount percentage (converted to decimal form), and 336 is the total amount paid after the discount is applied:

x-0.36x=336\\0.64x=336\\x=525

To check and further understand why the formula works, we can simply apply the discount to the original price and subtract the number from the original price:

525 * 0.36 = 189

525 - 189 = 336

Modeling the first formula gives us:

525 - (0.36 * 525) = 336

525 - 189 = 336

A regular hexagon has an apothem of 14.7 inches and a perimeter of 101.8 inches. What is the area of the hexagon?
Neporo4naja [7]

<u>Answer</u>

748.23 in²


<u>Explanation</u>

Apothem a line from the centre of a regular polygon at right angles to any of its sides. This can be said to be the height of the triangle in a polygon.

The base of the  hexagon = 101.8 ÷ 6

                                            = 19.96666..

                                            = 19.9667 inches

Area of the  hexagon = 1/2 × height × base length × 6

                                     = 1/2 × 14.7 × 19.9667 × 6

                                      = 748.23 in²
