Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Percy is not correct because he applied the zero product property to a factored expression that was not equal to 0. He should have subtracted 12 from both sides to get x2 + 7x = 0 before factoring. The correct solutions are 0 and -7.

In a class of 40 students, the number of girls is 10 more than the number of boys. We have to find the number of girls and the n

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

b=15 g=25

Step-by-step explanation:

lets translate that story problem to mathematics equations

the problem told that no. of girls are 10 more than no of boys so this will =

g=b+10

then in class there are 40 students that means

g+b=40

now we have to equations with two variables then we should substitute

(b+10)+b=40

lets remove the brackets

2b+10=40 subtract 10 from both sides

2b=30 now divide both by 2

b=15 so g=25 after you write the equation once again with the new proof or number

According to the data, the mean quantitative score on a standardized test for female college-bound high school seniors was 500.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

6.68% of the female college-bound high school seniors had scores above 575.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 500

Standard Deviation, σ = 50

We are given that the distribution of score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(scores above 575)

P(x > 575)

$P( x > 575) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{575 - 500}{50}) = P(z > 1.5)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq 1.5)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 575) = 1 - 0.9332= 0.0668 = 6.68\%$

6.68% of the female college-bound high school seniors had scores above 575.

A taxi company charges passengers $2.00 for a ride, no matter how long the ride is, and an additional $0.20 for each mile travel

choli [55]

m=miles

cost for 1 mile ride= $2.20

c=cost

rule c=0.20m+2.00

c=0.20x1+2

c=0.20+2

c+2.20
