Probability that the first lot sold will be less than two acres = number of lots less than two acres / total number of lots = 6/10 = 3/5

Probability that the second lot sold will be less than two acres = remaining number of lots less than two acres / remaining total number of lots = 5/9

Required probability = 3/5 x 5/9 = 15/45 = 1/3

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

700 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale of the map is $\frac{1}{2}\textrm{ in}=50\textrm{ mi}$

∴ $1\textrm{ in}= \frac{50}{\frac{1}{2}}=50\times 2=100\textrm{ mi}$

Distance of Susan from mount Shasha on the map is 7 inch.

Therefore, Number of miles = $7\times 100=700\textrm{ mi}$

Hence, Susan must travel 700 miles to reach her destination.

What line is perpendicular to y= 2x - 4

kolezko [41]

In Perpendicular product of slope is -1 so slope of y=2x-4 is 2 and 2*m=-1 m= -1/2 so y= -1/2x -4

Marie, Shelia, and Martha bought snacks for a girl's sleepover. They each bought the items shown in the following table at the l

creativ13 [48]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

x is the unit price of a bag of chips.

y is the unit price of liter of pop.

z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

$2x + 2y + z = 9.25$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

Replacing the <u>first equation on the second and the third:</u>

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50$

$x + 2y = 5.25$

$x = 5.25 - 2y$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

$x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12$

$-5x - 3y = -15.75$

$5x + 3y = 15.75$

Since $x = 5.25 - 2y$ :

$5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75$

$-7y = -10.5$

$y = \frac{10.5}{7}$

$y = 1.5$

Then:

$x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25$

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75$

The unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

He table shows the solution to the equation |2x − 5| − 2 = 3:

ozzi

The solution is completely correct, as putting 5 or 0 in the formula again will make it true.

$|2(0)-5|=5$
$|-5|=5$
$5=5$

$|2(5)-5|=5$
$|10-5|=5$
$5=5$
