THE SEVEN APPLEWOMEN

Mathematics
2 answers:
Sliva [168]4 years ago

Answer:

  zero

Step-by-step explanation:

If the same sum is received for the sale of 20 apples at price p as is received for the sale of 140 apples at price p, then we must have ...

  20p = 140p

  120p = 0 . . . . . . subtract 20p

  p = 0 . . . . . . . . . divide by 120

The price was zero.

Answer:

  • Price was 1 unit of money per each 7 apples and 3 units of money per each extra apple
  • Each woman received 20 unit of money

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the tricky one

I think 'The Seven Apple' is the hint. Let's see what the numbers have to do  with 7:

  • 20 = 7*2 + 6
  • 40 = 7*5 + 5
  • 60 = 7*8 + 4
  • 80 = 7*11 + 3
  • 100 = 7*14 + 2
  • 120 = 7*17 + 1
  • 140 = 7*20 + 0

Assume each '7 apples' sold for a fixed price x and each 'extra' apple sold for a different price y. Since all add up to make same amount, we get:

  • 2x + 6y = 5x + 5y = ... = 20x

Let x = 1, then we get y = 3

<u>So we get the sold price:</u>

  • 20 apples cost: 2*1 + 6*3 = 20
  • 40 apples cost: 5*1 + 5*3 = 20
  • ...
  • 140 apples cost: 20*1 = 20

So each apple woman got 20 units of money for their apples.

Price was 1 unit of money per each 7 and 3 units of money per each extra apple

Simplify completely
Mandarinka [93]

Answer: x+2 / x+ 9, x = -2, x=-9   ( A )

Solution:

Breakdown the problem into two sets

Step 1:  simplify x^2 -10x - 24

Factorize the above equation,

Multiply the last term (24) with the first term coefficient i.e. 1

Step 2: Then, find the factors of 24 in a way that when you add or subtract it sums up to 10

x2 - 12x + 2x - 24  >>>>  (x2-12x) + (2x-24) >>> take common

>>>> x(x-12) + 2( x-12)

Step 3:   (x + 2)  (x - 12)

Step 4: Step 1:  simplify x^2 - 3x - 108 using the same steps

x2 - 12x + 9x - 108 >>>>  take common x(x-12) + 9 ( x -12) >>>

(x + 9)  (x - 12) final product

Now, Simplify the equation as a whole

 (x + 2)  (x - 12) /  (x + 9)  (x - 12)                         Note:  (x - 12) cancels out  

=  (x + 2) /  (x + 9)     with x= -2 and x= -9

The average age of all students at a certain college is 22 years and the standard deviation is 2 years. What is the probability
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The probability that the average age of a randomly selected sample of 100 students will be less than 21.8 years is 0.159

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

mean = μ= 22

standard deviation = σ = 2

n = 100

μx = 22

σx=σ/√n=2/√100=0.2

Therefore, P( x < 21.8)=P(x-μx)/σx<(21.8-22)/0.2

=P(z<-1)

= 0.159

The probability that the average age of a randomly selected sample of 100 students will be less than 21.8 years is 0.159

3^3x+1= 81<br> Solve the exponential function
Reil [10]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

3^ (3x+1) = 81

Rewrite 81 as a power of 3

3^4

3^ (3x+1) = 3^4

Since the bases are the same, the powers are the same

3x+1 =4

Subtract 1 from each side

3x+1-1 =4-1

3x=3

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 3/3

x =1
