Oliver works at a bookstore.He packed 20 identical paperbacks and 9 identical textbooks in a box. The total mass of the books wa

s 44.4 pounds. After he put 1 more textbook and 5 more paperbacks in the box, the total mass of the books was 51 pounds.
Write a system of equations that can used to determine p, the mass, in pounds, of one paperback, and t, the mass, in pounds of one textbook.

In the problem, the first equation should be represented like this base on the variable given in the problem:

20p + 9t = 44.4

with that equation, the second equation would is given by this formula, in response with the additional number of paperback and textbook

21p + 14t = 51

to get the system equation in getting the mass of each variable, you should subtract the two equation to simplified the formula.

   20p + 9t = 44.4
 - 21p + 14t = 51
-------------------------
p + 5t = 6.6 // this is the system equation that could be use in getting the mass of each object

A store has 80 modems in its inventory, 30 coming from source a and the remainder from source
Mrrafil [7]
The number of defective modems in the inventory is 20%⋅ 30 + 8%⋅ 50 = 10 (out of 80). Note that the number of defectives in the inventory is fixed, i.e., we are not told that there is 1 8 probability that a modem in the inventory is defective, but rather that exactly 1 8 of all modems are defective. The probability that exactly two modems in a random sample of five are defective is = 0.102

What are the coefficients for the binomial expansion of (p+q)^6
seropon [69]

Answer:

1 6 15 20 15 6 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, we need to look at Pascal's Triangle, which is a tricky little way to find the coefficients for any binomial expression like this! Check the attached photo.

Because this is to the sixth, we need the 6th row, which is <u>1 6 15 20 15 6 1.</u> From this, we know that those numbers are the coefficients!

Tim bought a washing machine for a total of $651 with tax included. What was the price of the washing machine before tax if Tim
Molodets [167]

Answer:

<em>The washing machine cost $600 before tax</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages </u>

The washing machine cost $651 including a tax of 8.5%.

If x was the cost of the washing machine before tax, then the tax was:

x*8.5/100 = 0.085x

It was added to the original price:

x + 0.085x = 1.085x

That is the final price, thus

1.085x=$651

Solving:

x = $651/1.085

x = $600

The washing machine cost $600 before tax

For the diagrams, find the following measures. <br> X= <br> DCB= <br> ABC=
Tasya [4]
To set this up you will set the two angles equal to 180° since it is a straight line
This will make the equation x+6x+19=180
Combine like terms. 7x+19=180.
Subtract 19 from both sides. This will make it 7x=161
Divide both sides by 7. That will make it x=23
Next plug in the x to solve for abc. 7(23)+19. This equals 157

X= 23

Hope this helped :)
