Answer:

Number of trucks = 24

Number of SUVs = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of cars to trucks is 9:4

The total ratio of cars to trucks is

9+4 = 13

Let x = sum of cars and trucks.

There are 54 cars. Therefore,

x = 54 + t trucks

Number of cars = ratio of cars/ total ratio × sum of cars and trucks. This means,

54 = 9/13 × x

9x / 13 = 54

9x = 13 × 54

9x = 702

x = 702 / 9 = 78

x = 54 + t trucks = number of trucks = 78 = 54 + t trucks

t trucks = 78 - 54 = 24

Number of trucks = 24

The ratio of trucks to SUVs is 12:21

The total ratio of cars to trucks is

12 + 21 = 33

Let y = sum of trucks and SUVs

There are 24 trucks. Therefore,

x = 24 + s SUVs

Number of trucks = ratio of trucks / total ratio × sum of trucks and SUVs. This means,

24 = 12 / 33 × y

12y / 33 = 24

12y = 24 × 33

12y = 792

y = 792 / 12 = 66

y = 24 + s SUVs

66 = 24 + s SUVs

s SUVs = 66 - 24 = 42

Number of SUVs = 24

8x - 11 = -2x + 15 -5. What steps would you take to solve this?

MAVERICK [17]

Combine like terms. So that means combine the X's and combine the regular numbers.

- add 2x to 8x
- combine +15 -5
- then add 11 to that
- once you're done, find X by dividing 10x by whatever you have after the = sign

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Larger sample size gives less std error and hence test statistic is larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a newspaper is conducting a statewide survey concerning the race for governor. The newspaper will take a simple random sample of n registered voters and determine X = the number of voters that will vote for the Democratic candidate. Is there evidence that a clear majority of the population will vote for the Democratic candidate

we find that though p is the same, std error is very small for larger sample size thus making z statistic much bigger. So we get p value less than 0.05 whereas for 120 sample size, std error is large so Z statistic is small thus making p value to accept null hypothesis

A taxi fare has a fixed charge of 1.75 and an additional charge 0.45 per mile. A fare for m miles is 13.90. Which equation could

Pavel [41]

Answer:

The answer is 27 miles and option b will give that.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.75 + 0.45m = 13.90

m = (13.90 - 1.75) / 0.45

m = 27 miles

Juan bought 4 pounds of chocolate

Andru [333]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations. The 2 equations are:

4c + 2p = 16

2c + 3p = 12

Let's get rid of the p's first. Do this by multiplying the first equation by -3 and the second equation by 2 to get a new system that looks like this:

-12x - 6p = -48

4c + 6p = 24

Now add to get

-8c = -24 and

c = 3

That means that chocolate is $3 per pound. Now sub that back in to either one of the original equations to get the price for peanuts:

4(3) + 2p = 16 and

12 + 2p = 16 and

2p = 4 so

p = 2

The price for peanuts is $2 per pound.
