We will call:
M=Mari
J=Jen

Initial equations:

M=2J
M+J=480
(the fact that they work 20 hours a week is not needed in this problem information)

Plug in:
2J+J=480
3J=480
J=160

Jen makes $160 a week.

Therefore:

M=2J
M=2(160)
M=320

Mari makes $320 per week
Jen makes $160 per week

Can someone help me solve these two problems? i need to find what x is.
Bond [772]

Answer:

1. x=2

2. x= 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

1.So to start off you have a coefficient for 2 so you have to find what 2 to the power of 2 is =4 so then you have your new problem 4x+5=13 next you need to get 4x by itself so

-5 -5

then you have 4x=8. you divide by 4 on both sides

4. 4

so then you get x=2

2.So same here find what 3 to the power of 2 is =9

New equation 4x-1=9x+4x-4. Then combine like terms on the right you cant do it on the left because that is a separate part and those dont merge like terms so

9x+4x = 13x

new equation. 4x-1=13x-4

next subtract 4x on both sides

13x-4x=9x

new equation. -1=9x-4

next add 4 to both sides

-1+4= 3

new equation. 3=9x

so then divide 9 on both sides

3÷9= 0.33

x= 0.33

Hope this made sense and helps

The average test scores for a particular test in algebra was 84 with a standard deviation of 5. What percentage of the students
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The percentage of the students scored higher than 89% is 15.87%

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

The average test scores for a particular test in algebra was 84

so, mean is 84

\mu=84

a standard deviation of 5

so,

\sigma=5

we have

x=89

now, we can use z-score formula

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

now, we can plug values

z=\frac{89-84}{5}

z=1

now, we can use calculator

and we get

p(z>1)=0.1587

So,

The percentage of the students scored higher than 89% is 15.87%
