\left \{ {{a+b=87} \atop {a-3b=7}} \right.



a-3b=7
a=7+3b

a+b=87
(7+3b)+b=87
7+4b=87
4b=87-7
4b=80
b=20

a=7+3b
a=7+3*20
a=7+60
a=67

A above ground garden is rectangular and has a length of 15 feet and a height of 2 feet. It will hold 375 cubic feet of soil. Wh
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: 12.5\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length L=15 feet

width b=2 feet

Volume V=375 cubic feet

Suppose h is the height

Volume is given by V=l\times b\times h

\Rightarrow 375=15\times 2\times h\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{375}{30}=12.5\ ft

Two numbers have theses properties . both numbers are greater than 6 . their hcf = 6 . their lcm = 60. what are the two numbers
aleksandrvk [35]
Let the numbers be x and y.
x*y=HCF*LCM=6*60=360
thus
y=360/x
next we find the list of combinations of x and y and test if they satisfy the conditions above:
(6,60),(12,30),(18,20),(24,15)
out of the above, only (6,60) and (12,30) satisfy both conditions. Thus our answer is:
(6,60) or (12,30)

What is a b c in 3x^2+4=5x
____ [38]

Answer:

a =3

b = -5

c = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2+4=5x

Subtract 5x from each side

3x^2-5x+4=5x-5x

3x^2-5x+4=0

The equation is in the form

ax^2 +bx+c =0

a =3

b = -5

c = 4

The probability distribution for the rate of return on an investment is
babymother [125]

Answer:

a)0.7

b) 10.03

c)  0.0801

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of return   Probability

9.5                           0.1

9.8                           0.2

10                             0.3

10.2                          0.3

10.6                          0.1

a.

P(Rate of return is at least 10%)=P(R=10)+P(R=10.2)+P(R=10.6)

P(Rate of return is at least 10%)=0.3+0.3+0.1

P(Rate of return is at least 10%)=0.7

b)

Expected rate of return=E(x)=sum(x*p(x))

Rate of return(x)   Probability(p(x))    x*p(x)

9.5                           0.1                       0.95

9.8                           0.2                      1.96

10                             0.3                        3

10.2                          0.3                        3.06

10.6                          0.1                       1.06

Expected rate of return=E(x)=sum(x*p(x))

Expected rate of return=0.95+1.96+3+3.06+1.06=10.03

c)

variance of the rate of return=V(x)=sum(x^2p(x))-[sum(x*p(x))]^2

Rate of return(x)   Probability(p(x))    x*p(x)    x²*p(x)

9.5                           0.1                       0.95       9.025

9.8                           0.2                      1.96         19.208

10                             0.3                       3             30

10.2                          0.3                       3.06        31.212

10.6                          0.1                       1.06         11.236

sum[x²*p(x)]=9.025+19.208+30+31.212+11.236=100.681

variance of the rate of return=V(x)=sum(x²*p(x))-[sum(x*p(x))]²

variance of the rate of return=V(x)=100.681-(10.03)²

variance of the rate of return=V(x)=100.681-100.6009

variance of the rate of return=V(x)=0.0801
