Given

 One warehouse had 185 tons of coal, another one had 237 tons

The first warehouse delivered 15 tons of coal to its clients daily, the second one delivered 18 tons of coal to its clients daily.

Find out in how many days will the second warehouse have 1.5 times more coal than the first one.

To proof

Let us assume that the number of days of delivered the coal = x

Take two cases

First case

As given in the question

One warehouse had  coal = 185 tons

The first warehouse delivered 15 tons of coal to its clients daily

(As first warehouse delivered 15 tons of coal to its clients daily than the total amount of coal decrease daily as days increase)

Than the equation becomes for first warehouse

= ( 185 - 15x)

( this equation represent the amount of coal left after x days)

Second case

second warehouse had  coal = 237 tons

the second one delivered 18 tons of coal to its clients daily.

(As first warehouse delivered 18 tons of coal to its clients daily than the total amount of coal decrease daily as days increase)

Than the equation becomes for the second warehouse

= ( 237 - 18x)

( this equation represent the amount of coal left after x days)

As given in the question

the second warehouse have 1.5 times more coal than the first one

Thus

( 237 -18x ) = 1.5× ( 185 - 15x)

237 - 18x = 277.5 - 22.5x

22.5x - 18x = 277.5 - 237

4.5x = 40.5

x = 9

Therefore  the second warehouse have 1.5 times more coal than the first one in 9 days.

Hence proved

Artemon [7]

Answer:

y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope is y2-y1 over x2-x1

So its 8-(-6)  over 8-8 which equals 14/0 which means the equation of the line is y=8

This is a horizontal line on 8 on the y axis

Anika [276]

Answer:

The probability that the maximum speed is at most 49 km/h is 0.8340.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable<em> </em><em>X</em> be defined as the maximum speed of a moped.

The random variable <em>X</em> is Normally distributed with mean, <em>μ</em> = 46.8 km/h and standard deviation, <em>σ</em> = 1.75 km/h.

To compute the probability of a Normally distributed random variable we first need to convert the raw score of the random variable to a standardized or <em>z</em>-score.

The formula to convert <em>X</em> into <em>z</em>-score is:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Compute the probability that the maximum speed is at most 49 km/h as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

P (X ≤ 49) = P (X < 49 - 0.50)

                = P (X < 48.50)

                =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that the maximum speed is at most 49 km/h is 0.8340.

Find two numbers that have a sum of -2 and a product of -48 (please show work if possible)​
andreev551 [17]

Answer: -8 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

factors of 48: 1,2,4,6,8,12,24,48

1 x 48

2 x 24

4 x 12

6 x 8

for a negative product, one of the factors must be negative and the other positive.

for two number to have a sum of -2, the greater number must be the negative number, and both numbers should have be two values apart (ex. 6 and 8, 3 and 5, 12 and 14, etc.). In this case, 8 would have to be negative whereas 6 will be left positive.

and then we check:

-8 x 6 = 48

-8 + 6 = -2
