Translate every statement into algebraic language.

1) <span>hardcover books for $8 each

- name h the number of hardcover books
- amount of sale from hardcover books = 8h

2) paperbacks for $4 each

- namel p the number from paperback books
- amount of sale of paperbacks = 4p

3) the number of hardcover books, h, sold one day was 2 more than four times the number of paperback books, p, sold that same day.

-  h = 2 + 4p

4) the total amount of sales for that day was $160.

- 8h + 4p = 160

6) system of equations

h = 2 + 4p
8h + 4p = 160

5) Jean-Paul wrote the following system of linear equations to find the number of each type of book sold, </span><span>

8H+4P=160
P=4H+2 <---------- here is the error. This means that number of paperback books sold was 2 more than four times the number of hardcover books sold, when the right statement is that </span><span><span>the number of hardcover book sold was 2 more than four times the number of paperback books, p, sold.</span></span>

If you have 2 different slopes what is true about the slopes
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines have different slopes, they cannot be the same line. If they share a y-intercept, that means they cross the y -axis at the same y value.  If they share an x value and corresponding y value, they intersect at that point, in this case their y-intercept.

Hope this helped!!

The heights of North American women are nor-mally distributed with a mean of 64 inches and a standard deviation of 2 inches. a.
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Mean (m) of distribution = 64 inches

Standard deviation (sd) of distribution = 2 inches

Probability that a randomly selected woman is taller than 66 inches

For a normal distribution :

Z - score = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Where x = 66

P(X > 66) = P( Z > (66 - 64) / 2)

P(X > 66) = P(Z > (2 /2)

P(X > 66) = P(Z > 1)

P(Z > 1) = 1 - P(Z ≤ 1)

P(Z ≤ 1) = 0.8413 ( from z distribution table)

1 - P(Z ≤ 1) = 1 - 0.8413

= 0.1587
