Answer:

The lines' lengths are: 8 inches and 5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calling "a" the length of the line, a line that is 3 inches shorter can be written in math terms as:

a - 3

If the combined (added) length of these two lines is 15 inches, then we can write:

a + (a - 3) = 15

a + a - 3 = 15

2 a - 3 = 15

2 a = 15 + 3

2 a = 18

then

a = 18/2 = 9

Therefore, the length of one line is 8 inches, and the length of the shorter line is:

8 - 3 = 5 inches

Stan pays a 10% deposit to put a pool table on lay-by.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$1431

Step-by-step explanation:

If Stan pays a 10% deposit, he pays $159. 10% of $1590 is simply 0.1 * 1590 = 159. Assuming this is the only amount he pays, he then simply needs to pay the full price minus $159. We can find this by simply subtracting 159 from 1590 to get 1431. Stan still needs to pay $1431.

.......... is the slope zero
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

OK... You have to use this formula: <u>Y2 - Y1</u>

                                                          X2 - X1

  • -2 represents X1
  • 7 represents Y1
  • 2 represents X2
  • -5 represents Y2    

<u>Y2 - Y1</u>

X2 - X1

<u>-5 - 7</u>

2 - - 2

<u>-12</u>

-2

Simplify by dividing both -12 & -2 by 2: <u>-6</u>

                                                                 -1

It's either <u>-6</u> or it's just -6 by itself... Really sorry if I'm wrong...

                -1

The amount of time needed for a certain machine to process a job is a random variable with mean EXi = 10 minutes and Var(Xi)=2 m
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

0.98732

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean = 10 minutes

Variance = 2 minutes

For less than equal 40 jobs

Mean (m) = 40 * 10 = 400 minutes

Variance = 2 * 40 = 80 minutes

Standard deviation (s) = √variance = √80

Converting hours to minutes

X = 60 * 7 = 420 minutes

P(X≤ 420) :

Z = (x - m) / s

P(X≤ 420) :

Z = (420 - 400) / √80

Z = 20 / √80 = 20 / 8.9442 = 2.236

P(Z ≤ 2.236) = 0.98732
