Answer:
There are 23 dimes in the box
Step-by-step explanation:
Let nickels=n
Let dimes=(35-n)
Equation: 0.05n+0.10(35-n)=2.90
Multiply both sides by 100: 5n+10(35-n)=290
-5n+350=290
-5n=-60
n=12
35-12=23
Therefore, there are 23 dimes in the box
Answer:
Explanation: the ratio 2:4 can be reduced to 1:2, where the number of girls corresponds to the 1 and the number of boys corresponds to the 2. If there are 14 girls, then there must be 28 boys (14 x 2 = 28). Now to get the total number we need to add the total number of boys and girls together. So 14 + 28 = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The probability that the household has only cell phones and has high-speed Internet is 0.408
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the event that represents U.S. households has only cell phones
Let B be the event that represents U.S. households have high-speed Internet.
We are given that 51% of U.S. households has only cell phones
P(A)=0.51
We are given that 70% of the U.S. households have high-speed Internet.
P(B)=0.7
We are given that U.S. households having only cell phones, 80% have high-speed Internet. A U.S household is randomly selected.
P(B|A)=0.8

Hence the probability that the household has only cell phones and has high-speed Internet is 0.408
In order to find any of the info we need we have to find the first derivative of the equation. If

, then

. We are told to find the slope at point (1, 7). Using that x value in our derivative will give us the slope of the line at that point. y' = -(1)^2+8. So y' = 7. That's the slope of the line. Now we will use that slope along with the x and y coordinate in the slope-intercept form of a line to solve for b. 7 = 7(1) + b so b = 0. Our equation then is y = 7x. If you graph these in the same window on your calculator, you can see how perfectly that align at the given point. It's really quite perfect.
If alonzo is x then the equation is
x + (x +3) + 2(x + 3) = 57
Which equals
x + x + 3 + 2x + 6 = 57
4x + 9 = 57
4x = 48
x = 12
This means alonzo is 12 years old and alexis is 3 years older so alexis is 15 years old
Answer = 15 years old
