The local skating rink pays Mary a fixed rate per pupil plus a base amount to work as a skating instructor. She earns $90 for in
liq [111]
The expressions for the payment made to Mary are,
         (Monday)      90 = 15m + b
         (Tuesday)     62 = 8m + b
where m and b are the fee per student and the base fee, respectively. Solving for m and b, the values are 4 and 30. 
The equation that represents Mary's earning is 
                                    y = 4x + 30
 For 20 students,
                                    y = 4(20) + 30 = 110
For Lisa's earnings,
                                     y = 8x + 15
Substituting 20,
                                    y  =8(20) + 15 = 175
Thus, Lisa would earn more than Mary by $65.

Dianna has 7 quarters, 3 dimes, and 8 nickels in her purse. She reaches into her purse and randomly grabs two coins. What is the
Leni [432]

There are 18 coins total in her bag:

7+3+8=18coins

3 of the 18 coins are dimes, so the odds of first drawing a dime are 3/18

P(dime)=3/18

Since the nickel was taken out and not replaced, there are now 17 coins in her purse.

18-1=17coins

8 of the 17 remaining coins are nickels, so the odds of drawing a nickel are 8/17.

P(nickel)=8/17


Now we multiply the two probabilities by eachother to find out the odds of both occurring...


P(dime)*P(nickel)=

3/18*8/17=24/306=8/103=0.078=8%

The probability of grabbing a dime and then a nickel are 8/103 or 0.078 or an 8% chance, whichever way you'd prefer to write it.

Which is true about the polynomial y2 – 3y + 12?
Alja [10]
Y^2 - 3y + 12

It has 3 terms (y^2) and (-3y) and (12)...therefore, it is a trinomial.

The degree of a polynomial with 1 variable is the highest exponent...so it has a degree of 2. But if it had more then 1 variable, it would be different.

answer is : trinomial with a degree of 2
