Let
x----------> number of weeks
y----------> saved money

we now that

<span>Michael begins with $20 and saves $5 per week
so
y=20+5x------> equation 1

and
</span><span>Lindsey begins with no money, but saves $10 per week
</span><span>y=10x-------> equation 2

</span><span>the number of weeks it will take for Lindsey and Michael to save the same amount of money is when equation 1 is equals to equation 2
</span>
therefore
20+5x=10x------> 10x-5x=20------> 5x=20-----> x=20/5-----> x=4 weeks

the answer is 
4 weeks

y = x^2 + 5x -3

y-x =2

Replace y in the second equation with the first one:

x^2 + 5x -3 - x = 2

Simplify by combining like terms:

x^2 + 4x -3 = 2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x^2 + 4x -5 = 0

Fctor the polynomial:

(x-1) (x+5) = 0

Solve for both X's:

x = 1 and x = -5

Now replace x in the second equation with both value and solve for y:

y -1 =2, y = 3

y - -5 =2, y +5 = 2, y = -3

Now combine the sets of answers:

(1,3) and (-5,-3)

natta225 [31]

Answer:

The probability that there will be repair exactly 3 toaster is 0.0574.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial Distribution:

A discrete random variable X having the set {0,1,2,3......,n} as the spectrum, is said have a binomial distribution with parameter n= number of trials and p=probability of number of success on an individual trial, if the p.m.f (probability mass function) of X given by,

P(X=x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}    x=0,1,2,......,n

               =0                                   elsewhere

where 0<p<1 and n is a positive integer.

Total number of toaster in cartons(n) = 10.

Probability of number of success on an individual trial p= 10% = 0.10

\therefore P(X=3)= C(10,3)(0.10)^3(1-0.10)^{10-3}

                    =\frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}(0.10)^3)(0.90)^7

                    =0.0574

The probability that there will be repair exactly 3 toaster is 0.0574.

Salma and coron broomall have reached an agreed upon price of $197,000. They plan to make a 30 percent down payment and finance
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

1. The monthly payment is $689.5

2. The total amount to be paid is

$224,580.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salsa and Corn Broom all reached an agreement upon the price of $197,000.

- The plan on making a 30 percent down payment. This implies that the will pay 0.3 × $197,000 = $59,100

This leaves them with

$197,000 - $59,100

= $137,900 to pay.

The plan on financing this remaining amount at 6 percent for 20 years.

This means they will pay

0.06 × $137,900 = $8,274 for 20 years. This translates to the payment of $8,274 × 20 = $165,480 across the 20 years.

1. The monthly payment is the yearly payment divided by 12.

Which is $8,274 ÷ 12 = $689.5

2. The total amount to be paid is

$165,480 + $59,100

= $224,580.
