The given equations are y = x + 1and y = 3x – 2

Substituting y value in equation 1 from 2 we have :

3x-2=x+1

Subtracting x both sides

3x-x-2=1

2x-2=1.

Adding 2 both sides

2x=3

Dividing by 2

x=1.5.

Substituting x value in y=x+1

y=1.5+1.

y=2.5.

Solution is (1.5,2.5)

The approximate solution is B. (0.88, 0.65)

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The shopper should but the 6 pcs pack because its cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

6-pcs pack = $2.10

hot dogs needed = 48

number of 6 pcs = 48 divided 6 = 8

total cost = $2.10 x 6 = $16.80

8 pcs pack = $3.12

hot dogs needed = 48

number of 8 pcs packs = 48 divided 8= 6

total cost = $3.12 x 6 =$18.72

A home gardener estimates that 24 apple trees will have an average yield of 104 apples per tree. But because of the size of the

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The farmer should plant 14 additional trees, for maximum yield.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Trees = 24$

$Yield = 104$

$x \to additional\ trees$

So, we have:

$Trees = 24 + x$

$Yield = 104 - 2x$

Required

The additional trees to be planted for maximum yield

The function is:

$f(x) = Trees * Yield$

$f(x) = (24 + x) * (104 - 2x)$

Open bracket

$f(x) = 24 * 104 + 104x - 24 * 2x - x * 2x$

$f(x) = 2796 + 104x - 48x - 2x^2$

$f(x) = 2796 + 56x - 2x^2$

Rewrite as:

$f(x) = - 2x^2 + 56x + 2796$

Differentiate

$f'(x) = -4x + 56$

Equate $f'(x) = -4x + 56$ to 0 and solve for x to get the maximum of x

$-4x + 56 = 0$

$-4x =- 56$

Divide by -4

$x =14$

The farmer should plant 14 additional trees, for maximum yield.

Leto [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest square piece will be the largest factor between 24 and 18. This means the largest number that divides into 24 and 18. This number is 6. So each piece will be 6 inches by 6 inches.

A bet on "black" in Roulette has a probability of 18/38 of winning. If you win, you double your money. You can bet anywhere from

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

let the money on bet is X.

probability of winning =18/38=9/19

probability of losing =(1-9/19)=10/19

expected outcome = $\tiny \sum$ probability *return =(

Expected value of return after one bet is =(9/19*x)-(10/19*x)=-1x/19

it is negative which is obvious cause casinos are there to earn money.

a) Our best strategy in this case as probability of winning is near by 50 %, we should place a bet of 1 $ each,and when we lose one bet consecutively we should bet twice the amount..

Cause two consecutive losses on black has less probability.

c) In case we have to reach 30 $ we have to use the same strategy as above.
