X: Nb of Susan’s texts

4(x-5)+(x-5)+x= 107
Isolate X
X=107

Replace X with 22 in each equation to find out the number of texts

Susan: 22 Texts ( x )
Hong: 68 Texts 4( x-5 )
Juan: 17 Texts ( x-5 )

Answer: susan sent 22 texts

Hong sent 68 texts

Juan sent 17 texts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of text messages that Susan sent during the weekend.

Let y represent the number of text messages that Hong sent during the weekend.

Let z represent the number of text messages that Juan sent during the weekend.

Susan, Hong, and Juan sent a total of 107 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. This means that

x + y + z = 107 - - - - - - - - 1

Hong sent 4 times as many messages as Juan. This means that

y = 4z

Juan sent 5 fewer messages than Susan. This means that

x = z + 5

Substituting y = 4z and x = z + 5 into equation 1, it becomes

z + 5 + 4z + z = 107

z + 4z + z = 107 - 5

6z= 102

z = 102/6 = 17

x = z + 5 = 17 + 5 = 22

y = 4z = 17×4 = 68

What is the image point of (2,7) after the transformation r y=-x R270?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:|-2 - (-1)| =

|-2 + 1| =

| -1 | =

1.

 

So, we're one unit away from y = -1.  If we're one unit ABOVE y=-1, we need to move the point to be one unit BELOW it instead.  And if we're one unit BELOW y = -1, we need to move the point to be one unit ABOVE it.  

 

Since the point has a y-coordinate of -2, its BELOW the line y = -1, by 1 unit.  Now we change the y-coordinate so its instead ABOVE y = -1, by 1 unit:

 

(y-coordinate of reflection line) + (number of units above that line) =

-1 + 1 =

0.

 

Our new y-coordinate is 0, so the point is now at

(7, 0).

 

A more mechanical, but less intuitive approach is as follows:  

Let L = the y-coordinate of the line, and

P = the y-coordinate of the point.

The new y-coordinate is 2L - P.

In this case, L = -1, and P = -2.  So we have

2L - P =

2(-1) - (-2) =

-2 -(-2) =

0.

The distance from the center of an archery target to the outside edge of the target is 24 in. What is the diameter of the target
klemol [59]

Answer:

The diameter of the target is 48\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem the  distance from the center of an archery target to the outside edge of the target is equal to the radius of the target

so

r=24\ in

Remember that

The diameter is two times the radius

D=2r

substitute

D=2(24)=48\ in

When plotting sample statistics on a control chart, 99.7% of the sample statistic values are expected to fall within plus/minus
Blababa [14]

Answer:

By the Empirical Rule, \pm 3\sigma

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

The symbol of a standard deviation is \sigma. So

When plotting sample statistics on a control chart, 99.7% of the sample statistic values are expected to fall within plus/minus how many sigma?

By the Empirical Rule, \pm 3\sigma
