Answer:
2. Judy =$5
Ben= $4
Step-by-step explanation:
2. Let Judy = x and Ben = y
8x + 10y = 80
9x + 5y = 65
Solve these simultaneous equations.
8
x + 10
y = 80
18
x + 10
y = 130
Take the second equation away from the first equation
−
10
x = −
50
x = 5
This means that Judy gets paid $5 an hour.
Therefore, Ben gets paid $4 an hour.
Answer:
3. 24 quarters and 16 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
3. Let the number of dimes = x and the number of quarters = y

-------------------------------------------
dimes x $0.10 $0.10x
quarters y $0.25 $0.25y
-------------------------------------------
TOTALS 40 $7.60
x + y = 40
0.10x + 0.25y = 7.60
Get rid of decimals by multiplying every term by 100:
10x + 25y = 760
So we have the system of equations:
x + y = 40
10x + 25y = 760
We solve by substitution. Solve the first equation for y:
x + y = 40
y = 40 - x
Substitute (40 - x) for y in 10x + 25y = 760
10x + 25(40 - x) = 760
10x + 1000 - 25x = 760
-15x + 1000 = 760
-15x = -240
x = 16 = the number of dimes.
Substitute in y = 40 - x
y = 40 - (16)
y = 24 quarters.
$1.60 + $6.00 = $7.60
I hope that helped, sorry for taking so long :-)
Answer:
(D) There are probably more blue marbles than red marbles in the bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a total of 100 marbles in the bag.
In the experiment of 50 trials, Sam had the following outcome:
Blue=35
Red=15
Relative Frequency of Blue Marbles =35/50=0.7
Relative Frequency of Red Marbles =15/50=0.3
Since the relative frequency of blue marbles is greater than the relative frequency of red marbles, <u>there are probably more blue marbles than red marbles in the bag.</u>
The correct option is D.
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
4 - 5(3- 2x) = -2x + 1
Distribute
4 - 15 +10x = -2x+1
Combine like terms
-11 +10x = -2x+1
Add 2x to each side
-11+10x+2x = -2x+2x +1
-11+12x = 1
Add 11 to each side
-11 +11 + 12x = 11+1
12x = 12
Divide each side by
12x/12 = 12/12
x = 1
