Slope = y2-y1 / x2 - x1

= -8-2 / -10-5
= -10 / -15
= 2/3

Answer:

The length of A will be 8 as

The ratio between the sides are 4:1

Since Side is 2 therefore side A=2*4

Ms. Moran has started an investment club at BSS. $8000 is invested, some at 10%

labwork [276]

The answer can be readily calculated using a single variable, x:

Let x = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 10%
Let (8000 - x) = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 12%

The problem is then stated as:

(x * 0.10) + ((8000 - x) * 0.12) = 900
0.10(x) + ((8000 * 0.12) - 0.12(x)) = 900
0.10(x) + 960 - 0.12(x) = 900
0.10(x) - 0.12(x) = 900 - 960
-0.02(x) = -60
-0.02(x) * -100/2 = -60 * -100/2
x = 6000 / 2
x = 3000

Thus, $3,000 is invested at 10% = $300 annually; and $8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000 invested at 12% = $600 annually, which sum to $900 annual investment.

One member of the debate team is going to be chosen president. each member is equally likely to be chosen. the probability that

inessss [21]

Let
x-------> the probability that a boy is chosen
B------> number of boys in the debate team
G------> number of girls in the debate team

we know that
B+G=20-----> G=20-B-----> equation 1
probability that a boy is chosen=number of boys in the debate team/total of people
so
x=B/20-------> equation 2

the probability that a girl is chosen is 2/3 the probability that a boy is chosen
probability that a girl is chosen=(2/3)*x
probability that a girl is chosen=G/20
(2/3)*x=G/20-----> equation 3
substitute equation 1 in equation 3
(2/3)*x=[20-B]/20----> equation 4

resolve the equations system
x=B/20
(2/3)*x=[20-B]/20

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=0.6
B=12
G=20-12-----> G=8

number of boys in the debate team is 12
number of girls in the debate team is 8
the probability that a boy is chosen is 0.6 ----> 60%
the probability that a girl is chosen is 0.6*(2/3)----> 0.4---> 40%

the answer is
number of girls in the debate team is 8
