Answer:

B. A shirt costs $15, and a pair of shoes costs $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = price of 1 shirt.

Let p = price of 1 pair of shoes.

Adam:

5s + 4p = 155

Friend:

3s + 2p = 85

We have a system of simultaneous equations.

5s + 4p = 155

3s + 2p = 85

Rewrite the first equation. Multiply both sides of the second equation by -2 and write below it. Add the equations.

      5s + 4p = 155

(+)  -6s - 4p = -170

--------------------------

      -s          = -15

s = 15

A shirt costs $15.

Now we replace s with 15 in the first original equation and solve for p.

5s + 4p = 155

5(15) + 4p = 155

75 + 4p = 155

4p = 80

p = 20

A pair of shoes costs $20.

6. Benny earns $12.00 per hour as a lifeguard. He earns a bonus of $75.00
Vesna [10]

Answer:

75+12h ≥ 399

He must work at least 27 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

How much does benny earn

He makes 75 for the course plus 12 dollars an hour

75+ 12h

This must be at least 399

75+12h ≥ 399

Subtract 75 from each side

75-75+12h ≥ 399-75

12h ≥ 324

Divide each side by 12

12h/12 ≥ 324/12

h ≥ 27

He must work at least 27 hour

Suppose that in an alternate universe, the gambler's fallacy is true: the more a gambler loses, the more likely she is to win th
stepladder [879]

Answer and explanation:

The gambler's fallacy is the fallacy of belief that if an event such as a loss occurs more frequently in the past, it is less likely to happen in the future. We assume here that this belief is true, therefore

If she loses, her probability of winning increases =3/4

If she wins, her probability to win is normal =1/2

Given that probability of winning is 1/2

Probability of losing is 1-1/2=1/2

Probability that she wins the tournament is probability that she wins the first two games and loses the last or wins the first game, loses the second and wins the last or loses the first game and wins the last two games or probability that she wins all three games

=1/2*1/2*1/2+1/2*1/2*3/4+1/2*3/4*1/2+1/2*1/2*1/2

=25/48

Probability of winning the tournament if she loses the first game

=1/2*3/4*1/2= 3/16

Note: whenever there is "or" in probability, you add

Is the difference between a positive mixed number and a negative mixed number always, sometimes, or never positive?
Annette [7]
Ok It depends upon what the order of the terms might be

 

If we consider that the positive mixed number is the first term and the negative mixed number is the second term and we consider "difference" to be subtraction.....then the result is positive

 

For example

(3 + 1/2) -  [ -(1 + 1/2)] =

 

(3 +1/2) + (1 + 1/2) = 5   since subtracting a negative results in a positve

 

But....if we had the reverse order with the same operation, we would have

 

-(1 + 1/2) - (3 + 1/2)   and the result is - 5

 

Hence.......I would go with "sometimes"
