starting entry, starting entry+k, starting entry+2k,..., starting entry+(n-1)k.

Where n denotes the sample size.

we are given that starting entry is 17, sample size is 30 and k=25.

Then the number corresponds to selected clients are

Nate rented a power washer and a generator. On his first job, he used each piece of equipment for 6 hours which cost $90. On his
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p = power washer and g = generator

6p + 6g = 90 .....multiply by 4

4p + 8g = 100 ....multiply by -6

---------------------

24p + 24g = 360 (result of multiplying by 4)

-24p - 48g = -600 (result of multiplying by -6)

---------------------add

-24g = - 240

g = -240 / -24

g = 10 <=== the generator cost $ 10 per hr

6p + 6g = 90

6p + 6(10) = 90

6p + 60 = 90

6p = 90 - 60

6p = 30

p = 30/6

p = 5 <==== the power washer costs $ 5 per hr

check...

4p + 8g = 100

4(5) + 8(10) = 100

20 + 80 = 100

100 = 100 (correct)

slega [8]

Answer:

D. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you divided by 2. You want to multiply to go back wards.

35×2=70

They already give you base(b=7) so to find the height you need to divide to go backwards since you multipled bh.

70÷7=10

now plug it in to see if the equation is right.

35= 1÷2 (7×10)
