Answer:  The correct option is

(D) 60.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the number of stamps that Kaye and Alberto had were in the ration of 5:3 respectively.

After Kaye gave Alberto 10 of her stamps, the ration of the number of Kaye had to the number of Alberto had was 7:5.

We are to find the number of stamps that Kaye had more than Alberto.

Let the number of stamps Kaye and Alberto has are 5x and 3x respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

(5x-10):(3x+10)=7:5\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5x-10}{3x+10}=\dfrac{7}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow 25x-50=21x+70\\\\\Rightarrow4x=120\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{120}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=30.

So, the number of stamps that Kaye had = 5 × 30 = 150

and

the number of stamps that Alberto had = 3 × 30 = 90.

Therefore, the number of stamps that Kaye had more than Alberto is

150-90=60.

Thus, Kaye had 60 stamps more than Alberto.

Option (D) is CORRECT.

katrin [286]

Answer:

8x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Treat the question as 2 separate brackets

First expand 3(2x + 1) :

6x + 3

Then expand 2(x + 3) :

2x + 6

Now add the two answers together and simplify :

= 6x + 3 + 2x + 6

= 8x + 9

hope this helps :)

Listed below are prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region. Find the​ range, variance, and standar
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Range = 115$

Standard Deviation = 43.76$

Variance = 1915.142$

Option  A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a​ room, low​ prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the data for  prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region.

234, 160, 119, 131, 218, 207, 146, 141        

Range:

Sorted data: 119, 131, 141, 146, 160, 207, 218, 234

\text{Range} = 234-119 = 115\$

Standard Deviation:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1356}{8} = 169.5

Sum of squares of differences = 4160.25 + 90.25 + 2550.25 + 1482.25 +  2352.25 + 1406.25 + 552.25 + 812.25 = 13406

\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{13406}{7}} = 43.76\$

Variance =

\sigma^2 = 1915.142\$

Measure of variance for someone searching for room:

Option  A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a​ room, low​ prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.
