Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are talking about the unknown cost of a shirt AND a sweater, we are dealing with 2 unknowns.  However, we can only have one unknown in a single equation or we cannot solve it.  The cost of the sweater is based on the cost of the shirt, so the shirt will be our "main" unknown.

Cost of the shirt:  x

Since the sweater is $5 more than (this is addition) twice (that is 2 times) the cost of the shirt, the expression for the sweater is 2x + 5

The cost of both is (equals) 65.

x + 2x + 5 = 65 and

3x + 5 = 65 and

3x = 60 so

x = 20

The shirt cost $20 so the sweater had to cost 65 - 20 = 45

Considere um triângulo retângulo, cujos ângulos agudos a e b satisfazem à condição cos a = 0,8 e cos b = 0,6 Determine a área de
Anni [7]

Answer:

7.5 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Aqui, temos Cos A = 0,8 = 8/10 = 4/5.

Cos B = 0,6 = 6/10 = 3/5.

O que isto significa é que os dois outros lados do triângulo retângulo são 3 cm e 5 cm, respectivamente.

Isso ocorre porque, o oposto do ângulo agudo A é adjacente ao ângulo agudo B e vice-versa.

Portanto, a partir dos valores de ambos, podemos obter os dois outros lados.

Matematicamente, a área da direita é 1/2 * b * h b e h são 3 e 5, respectivamente.

Assim, área = 1/2 * 3 * 5 = 7,5 cm ^ 2

Suppose you are conducting a survey regarding activity level of children in the LA school district. you obtain a cluster sample
loris [4]
<span>The survey had a sample and response bias. The survey only randomly selected sophomore students, when it needed to be a thorough survey of children in the LA school district, so the sample size is neither large enough or relevant. Secondly, because the survey was administered by the parents of the students, the students surveyed will be more likely to over-report their activity level.</span>

Maru [420]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Poker is a card played with a standard 52 card playing deck. We draw one card at a time without replacement from the top of a shuffled standard poker deck and stop when we draw an ace.

There are 4 aces and 48 non aces.

For randomly drawing card for first card we have probability for drawing ace = 4/52 and non ace = 48/52

X = no of cards we have drawn

If X is the total no of cards drawn, then the event should have been

first x-1 cards non aces, and the last card ace.

Hence P(X)

= Drawing x-1 cards from 48 non aces * drawing one card from remaining 52-(x-1) cards

= \frac{48C(x-1)}{52C(x-1)} *\frac{4}{53-x} \\, x=1,2,.....49

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by gi
GuDViN [60]

The time that rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second is 10.43 seconds

Given the equation representing the height reached by a rocket as:

y = -16x^2 + 157x + 104

The rocket will hit the ground when y = 0. Substituting y = 0 into the expression to get x;

0 = -16x^2 + 157x + 104\\16x^2 - 157x - 104 = 0\\

On factorizing:

x = 10.43 seconds

Hence the time that rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second is 10.43 seconds
