Find two consecutive numbers whose sum is 117

2 answers:

6 0

So,

x + y = 117
y = x + 1
x + x + 1 = 117

Collect Like Terms
2x + 1 = 117

Subtract 1 from both sides
2x = 116

Divide both sides by 2
x = 58

y = x + 1

y = 58 + 1

y = 59

The 2 consecutive integers are 58 and 59.

$n+n+1=117\\
2n=116\\
n=58\\
n+1=59$

These numbers are 58 and 59.

on a certain hot Summer's Day 613 people use the public swimming pool the daily prices are $1.75 for children $2.25 for adults t

Elodia [21]

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one child ticket = $1.75

Cost of one adult ticket = $2.25

Total people = 613

Total receipts worth = $1184.75

Let,

Number of children = x

Number of adults = y

According to given statement;

x+y=613 Eqn 1

1.75x+2.25y=1184.75 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 1.75

$1.75(x+y=613)\\1.75x+1.75y=1072.75\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(1.75x+2.25y)-(1.75x+1.75y)=1184.75-1072.75\\1.75x+2.25y-1.75x-1.75y=112.00\\0.50y=112.00$

Dividing both sides by 0.50

$\frac{0.50y}{0.50}=\frac{112.00}{0.50}\\y=224$

Putting y=224 in Eqn 1

$x+224=613\\x=613-224\\x=389\\$

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.

According to the empirical rule, if the data form a bell-shaped normal distribution, __________ of the observations will fall wi

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that if data follows normal distribution then the percentage of observations falls within one, two and three standard deviation around the mean are

i) 68% falls within one standard deviation

ii) 95% falls within two standard deviation

iii) 99.7% falls within three standard deviation.

Hence 95% of the observations will fall within two standard deviations around the mean if the data follows normal distribution.
