Hi, I need help with a practice SAT question on math. The problem is in the picture.

Mathematics

Answer:

  2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will have infinite solutions when it is a tautology--when both sides say exactly the same thing.

Eliminate parentheses, match coefficients, and solve for b.

  ax +ab = 4x +10

  a = 4 . . . . . . coefficient of x

  ab = 10 . . . . constant

Since we know a, we can find b:

  4b = 10

  b = 10/4 . . . . . . . divide by 4

  b = 5/2 = 2.5 . . .express in your favorite form

At a garden shop, a customer buys 5 geraniums and 4 lilies for $48. Another customer pays $58 for 4 geraniums and 6 lilies. Writ
masha68 [24]

Answer:

A lily costs $7 and a geranium $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can write two equations. let the number of lilies be l and the number of geraniums be g, then:

5 g + 4 l = 48

4 g + 6 l = 58

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5, the number of lilies in the other gives:

20 g + 16 l = 192

20 g + 30 l = 290

Subtract the first equation from the second gives:

14 l = 98  which dividing by 14 gives  l = 7

Substituting the value  l = 7  in the first equation gives:

5 g + 28 = 48

Subtract 20 from both sides gives:

5 g = 20  divide by 5 gives  g = 4

So, a lily costs $7 and a geranium costs $4.

1 Which type of data is best represented using a line plot?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

#1) D frequency data that can be plotted on a number line ; #2) A Sarah read twice as many chapters Wednesday as Monday, C Sarah read more than four chapters on two days, F Sarah read at least three chapters on four days, and H The total number of chapters Sarah read on the weekend was the same as the total number she read on the weekdays.

Step-by-step explanation:

#1) A line plot shows the frequencies of data.  It is displayed over a number line; this makes the best choice for the answer "frequency data that can be plotted on a number line."

#2) We can see that Sarah read 2 chapters on Wednesday and 1 chapter on Monday.  This is twice as many chapters.

She read more than 4 chapters on both Saturday and Sunday.

She read 3 or more chapters on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The total number of chapters she read on the weekend was 5+6 = 11.  The total number of chapters she read on the weekdays was 1+3+2+2+3 = 11.  These are the same.
