<span>Let t=time Doreen travels; let r=rate of Doreen

                RATE * TIME = DIST.
        Sue | r+13      t-3       105
   Doreen |   r           t          64
 
Now solve the system:
(r+13)(t-3)=105
</span>r*t=64<span>
 
</span>r= \frac{64}{t} &#10;\\&#10;\\(\frac{64}{t} +13)(t-3)=105 &#10;\\&#10;\\64- \frac{192} {t}+13t-39-105=0&#10;\\&#10;\\13t- \frac{192} {t}-80=0&#10;\\&#10;\\ 13t^2-80t-192=0&#10;\\&#10;\\t_{1,2}= \frac{80\pm \sqrt{(-80)^2-4\times13(-192)} }{2\times13}= \frac{80\pm128}{26}  &#10;\\&#10;\\t=\frac{80+128}{26}  =8&#10;\\&#10;\\r=\frac{64}{t} =\frac{64}{8} =8<span>
             
Doreen: rate = 8 mph, time = 8 hours
Sue:  </span>rate = 21 mph, time = 5 hours<span>

Solve: 4n - 6 = 12<br> O n = 4<br> O n = -4<br> O n = 4.5<br> O n=-4.5
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4n - 6 = 12

add +6 to both sides

4n = 18

divide by 4

4/4n = 18/4

n = 4.5

Number 28 ignore the bubbled in answer
Ghella [55]

Answer:

y = -7x+34

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 points, so we can find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (6--1)/(4-5)

    = (6+1)/(4-5)

     = 7/-1

    = -7

We can use point slope form to make an equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y--1 = -7(x-5)

y+1 = -7(x-5)

Distribute

y+1 = -7x+35

Subtract 1 from each side

y+1-1 = -7x+35-1

y = -7x+34

In a lottery, 5000 tickets are sold for $1 each, one first prize of $2000, 1 second prize of $500, 3 third prizes of $100, and 1
RSB [31]
There is 1/5000 chance to win first place of $2000,
1/5000 chance to win second place of $500
3/5000 chance to win third place of $100
10/5000 chance to win the consolation prize of $25.
The ticket costs $1.
We multiply each probability by the amount, and subtract the ticket cost, to get the expected net earnings:
(1/5000)($2000) + (1/5000)($500) + (3/5000)($100) + (10/5000)($25) - $1 = $(-0.39).
This means that there is an expected loss of $0.39.
