With the given information, we can create several equations:
120 = 12x + 2y
150 = 10x + 10y
With x being the number of rose bushes, and y being the number of gardenias.
To find the values of the variables, we can use two methods: Substitution or Elimination
For this case, let us use elimination. To begin, let's be clear that we are going to be adding these equations together. Therefore, in order to get the value of one variable, we must cancel one of them out - it could be x or y, it doesn't matter which one you decide to cancel out. Let's cancel the x out:
We first need to multiply the equations by numbers that would cause the x's to cancel out - and this can be done as follows:
-10(120 = 12x + 2y)
12(150 = 10x + 10y) => Notice how one of these is negative
Multiply out:
-1200 = -120x - 20y
+ 1800 = 120x + 120y => Add these two equations together
---------------------------------
600 = 100y
Now we can solve for y:
y = 6
With this value of y known, we can then pick an equation from the beginning of the question, and plug y in to solve for x:
120 = 12x + 2y => 120 = 12x + 2(6)
Now we can solve for x:
120 = 12x + 12 => 108 = 12x
x = 9
So now we know that x = 9, and y = 6.
With rose bushes being x, we now know that the cost of 1 rose bush is $9.
With gardenias being y, we now know that the cost of 1 gardenia is $6.
Answer:
The t distribution is used, because we have the standard deviation for the sample.
Step-by-step explanation:
When to use the z or the t distribution?
When we have the standard deviation for the population, we use the z distribution.
When we have the standard deviation for the sample, we use the t distribution.
In this question:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t distribution is used.
Answer:
(x+12) (x+2)
x(x+12)+2(x+12)
x^2+12x+2x+24
x^2+14x+24
Step-by-step explanation:
Check the picture below
in case you want to know how to get who's the adjacent or opposite, notice in the picture, if you put your eye on the angle itself, what you'd be facing is the opposite side, the adjacent is the side touching the angle.
Answer:
A = 23.6 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the base be 8 (as shown).
Find the height of the triangle: Find the supplement of the 100 degree angle; it is (180 - 100), or 80 degrees. The side "opposite" this 80-degree angle is the height of the triangle:
height
sin 80 degrees = ---------------
6
and so the height of the triangle is h = 6 sin 80 degrees, or 5.91 units.
The area of the triangle is found using A = (1/2)(base)(height), which here amounts to:
A = (1/2)(8 units)(5.91 units), or
A = 23.64 units^2, or A = 23.6 units^2
