For the entirety of this problem, p will represent a pair of pants and b will represent a bracelet.

Step 1) Set up equations for Destiny and Guadalupe

Destiny: 178 = 2p + 6b

Guadalupe: 155 = 3p + 2b

I will be using substitution to solve this problem, but elimination can also be used.

Step 2) Solve Destiny's equation for p

178 = 2p + 6b

178 - 6b = 2p

89 - 3b = p

Step 3) Substitute the found value of p from Destiny's equation into Guadalupe's equation and solve for b

155 = 3(89 - 3b) + 2b

155 = 267 - 9b + 2b

155 = 267 - 7b

-7b = -112

b = 16

Step 4) Use the value of b found in step 3, plug that back into our equation from step 2 and solve for p

89 - 3(16) = p

89 - 48 = p

p = 41

one pair of pants = $16

one bracelet = $41

Hope this helps!! :)

−7x−50≤−1 AND−6x+70>−2
fgiga [73]

Answer:

-7\geq x and [-7,12) in interval notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a compound inequality -7x-50\leq -1\text{ and }-6x+70>-2. We are supposed to find the solution of our given inequality.

First of all, we will solve both inequalities separately, then we will combine both solution merging overlapping intervals.

-7x-50\leq -1

-7x-50+50\leq -1+50

-7x\leq 49

Dividing by negative number, flip the inequality sign:

\frac{-7x}{-7}\geq \frac{49}{-7}

x\geq -7

-6x+70>-2

-6x+70-70>-2-70

-6x>-72

Dividing by negative number, flip the inequality sign:

\frac{-6x}{-6}

x

Upon merging both intervals, we will get:

-7\geq x

Therefore, the solution for our given inequality would be -7\geq x and [-7,12) in interval notation.

In this case if x<100 George will be losing money.  So he will only earn a profit when he sells more than 100 DVDs.  Essentially (x-100) represents his break-even point.

14. A group of crafters is collecting data on the amount of yarn they use for each scarf knitted. Each person collected 12 piece
fgiga [73]

Answer:

D. There is not enough information to make a conclusion about the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the crafters Chris has a sample means of 200. This means that the average amount of yarn Chris used is 200 meters. Yet there is nothing else given about the other crafters, hence it is impossible to draw a conclusion.
