Let us take costs of a piece of toast = $t, , one bagel cost=$b and a muffin cost=$m.

Larry

Two pieces of toast and a bagel cost  = $1.30

2t+b=1.30   -------------equation(1)

Let us solve the equation(1) for t in terms of b, because we need to find one bagel cost.

Subtracting b from both sides we get

2t+b-b=1.30-b

2t= 1.30-b

Dividing by 2 on both sides.

2t/2= (1.30-b)/2

t= (1.30-b)/2

Curly

A bagel and a muffin cost = $2.50.

b + m = 2.50 -------------equation(2)

Solving equation for m in terms of b, we get

m= 2.50-b.

Moe

A piece of toast, two bagels, and three muffins cost = $6.95

t + 2b + 3m = 6.95    ......................equation(3).

Substituting t= (1.30-b)/2 and m= 2.50-b in equation (3)

(1.30-b)/2 + 2b + 3(2.50-b) = 6.95 .

Multiplying each term by 2 to get rid 2 from denominator of (1.30-b).

2*(1.30-b)/2 + 2*2b + 2*3(2.50-b) = 2*6.95

1.30-b + 4b + 6(2.50-b) = 13.90.

1.30 - b + 4b  +15 - 6b = 13.90

Combining like terms

-3b +16.30 = 13.90

Subtracting 16.30 from both sides.

-3b +16.30-16.30 = 13.90-16.30.

-3b= -2.4

Dividing both sides by -3.

-3b/-3 = -2.4/-3

b = 0.8

Therefore, cost of one bagel = $0.80.

ipn [44]
First you write down all even integers that divide 20.

Those are: 2,4,10,20

Since the request is that integer is less than n, 20 cannot be the answer.
This means that greatest even integer is 10

Answer is 10.

The formula that describes an object's motion is given by S=ut+1/2at^2 , where S is the distance traveled, u is the initial velo
RSB [31]
S = ut + (1/2)a(t²)                            Subtract ut from both sides
(1/2)a(t²) = S - ut                            Multiply both sides by 2
a(t²) = 2s - 2ut                                Divide both sides by t²
a= 2s/t² - 2u/t

a= (2S - 2ut)/t²

Answer is C) but there should be parentheses around the term (2S-2ut)

Consider the population consisting of all computers of a certain brand and model, and focus on whether a computer needs service
eimsori [14]

Answer and explanation:

A. What is the probability that more than half of the sample of 100 computers would need warranty service?

What is the probability that more than half of the sample of 100 computers would not need warranty service?

What is the probability that out of sample of 100 more than 20% would require warranty service?

B. If our sample of 100 computers of that brand and model reveals that 30 computers need warranty service, does this give a valid conclusion that all such computers in the population would require about 30% warranty service or less?
