The total vote cast was 700.

The winner was Adam (received 320 votes)

Why?

To solve the problem, we need to make equations to express the number of votes received for each of the candidates.

Solving we have:

Let be "v" the total vote cast,

For Adam,

A=40+0.4*v

For Brigitte,

B=0.5(40+0.4v)-40

B=20+0.2v-40

B=0.2v-20

For Carl,

C=20+0.5*B

C=20+0.5*(0.2v-20)

C=10+0.1v

For Diane,

D=180votes

Now, the total vote cast will be:

v=A+B+C+D\\\\v=(40+0.4v)+(0.2v-20)+(10+0.1v)+180\\\\v=(40-20+10+180)+(0.4v+0.2v+0.1v)

v=210+0.7v\\\\v-0.7v=210\\\\v=\frac{210}{0.3}=700

Now, substituting "v" in each equation to calculate the number of votes for each candidate, we have:

Adam=40+0.4*700=320votes\\Brigitte=0.2*700-20=120votes\\Carl=10+0.1*700=80votes\\Diane=180votes

Hence, we have that the total vote cast was 700, and the winner was Adam (received 320 votes)

Have a nice day!

Find the missing side of this right<br> triangle.<br> 19<br> X<br> X =<br> 16<br> ✓[?]
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

x = sqrt(105)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

16^2 + x^2 = 19^2

256 + x^2 = 361

x^2 = 361 -256

x^2 =105

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(105)

x = sqrt(105)

Round 392 to the nearest ten
Bezzdna [24]
Nearest 10 is according to the last digit.
if the digit is >5, it +1 to the tenth digit. If it's <5, it will be reduced to 0.

for your case, 392, 2 < 5, therefore rounded up to nearest tenth is 390.

Suppose the line of best fit is being found for some data points that have an r-value of 0.657. If the standard deviation of the
oksian1 [2.3K]
We are given a line with the following data:

r-value = 0.657 (r)
standard deviation of x-coordinates = 2.445 (Sx)
standard deviation of y-coordinates = 9.902 (Sy)

We are asked to find the slope of the line up to 3 decimal places.

To find the slope of the line, based on the data that we have, we can use this formula:

slope, b = r * (Sy / Sx) 

substitute the values to the formula:

b = 0.657 * ( 9.902 / 2.445 )

Solve for the b.

Therefore, the slope of the line is 

b = 2.66078, round off to three decimal places:

b = 2.661 is the slope of the line.

The midpoint of KL is M (-8,1). One endpoint is K (-6,5) find the coordinates of the other endpoint L
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Midpoint (x , y) of two points is

( x1 + y1/2 , x2 + y2/2)

Midpoint of KL is M ( -8 , 1)

Let the coordinates of L be ( a , b)

From the above definition

Midpoint between K(-6 , 5) and

L ( a ,b) is

(-8 , 1) = ( -6+a/2 , 5+b/2)

Comparing first point with - 8

- 8 = -6 + a /2

Multiply through by 2

We get

-16 = - 6 + a

a = -16+6

a = - 10

Comparing the second point with 1

1 = 5+b/2

Multiply through by 2

2 = 5 + b

b = 2 - 5

b = -3

Therefore a = -10 and b = - 3

Hence the coordinates of

L is ( -10 , - 3)

Hope this helps
