Answer:
C. define all variables
Step-by-step explanation:
Equations for word problems will depend on the problem. Not all of the equations will be linear equations. Even if they are, they are not necessarily easily written in any particular form, or easily solved when they are written in that form. The nature of the equations will depend on the problem.
One thing that must be done in any case is <em>define all variables</em>. It is usually a good idea to define the units of the variable(s) as well. Sometimes problems are posed with numbers in incompatible dimensions, or they may ask for an answer in dimensions different from those used in the given information. In order to avoid confusion and to be sure you have the desired answer, you need to make sure the variables and their dimensions are compatible with the solution process.
Answer:
(-5,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the first equation by -2,and multiply the second equation by 1.
−2(x+5y=20)
1(2x−7y=−45)
Becomes:
−2x−10y=−40
2x−7y=−45
Add these equations to eliminate x:
−17y=−85
Then solve−17y=−85for y:
(Divide both sides by -17)
y=5
x+5y=20
Substitute 5 for y in x+5y=20:
x+(5)(5)=20
x+25=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)
x+25+−25=20+−25(Add -25 to both sides)
x=-5
Answer:
35
Step-by-step explanation:
write 5 in N's place
5^2+2×5×1
25+10

Answer:
60 tiles.
Step-by-step explanation:
$15.00 per tile plus a flat fee of $378.00 that charges Tile All.
Therefore, for x number of tiles, the total cost of installation will be
C = 378 + 15x ........... (1)
Again, $14.50 per tiles plus a flat fee of $550.00 that charges Kitchen Plus. Amanda has at Kitchen Plus, a 10% discount coupon.
Therefore, for x tiles installation the charges will be
.......... (2) (Answer)
Now, if for x number of tiles both the company charges the same, then
378 + 15x = 495 + 13.05x (From equations (1) and (2)}
⇒ 1.95x = 117
⇒ x = 60 tiles. (Answer)
Answer:
Company B
Step-by-step explanation:
We would use z score formula
z = (x - μ) / σ
x = raw score
μ = mean
σ = Standard deviation
let x = 260 with the mean μ1 = 276 and standard deviation σ = 5.8
let x = 260 with the mean μ2 = 252 and standard deviation σ = 3.4
z1 = (x- μ1) / σ = (260- 276) / 5.8 = -2.7586206897 = -2.76
z2 = (x2 - μ) / σ = (260 -252) / 3.4= 2.3529411765 = 2.35
Comparing the two z scores, we can see that company B has the probability of producing 260 nails because it has a z score of 2.35 compared to company A with a z score of -2.76.
