Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided on brand purchased by age group is.

$\begin{array}{ccc}Age&Buick&Honda\\Under\ 40&6&17\\40\ or\ older&19&8\end{array}$

A total of 50 cars were sold this month.

Since the number of buyers 40 years or older that purchased a Honda is 8, the percentage is:

$P=\frac{8}{50}=0.16=16\%$

16% of buyers were 40 years or older and purchased a Honda.

Solve the system of linear equations by substituting. Check your solution

QUESTION 4

The given system of linear equations are,

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

and

$- 3x - 2y = - 12...(2)$

We put equation (1) into equation (2) to obtain,

$- 3x - 2(5x - 7) = - 12$

We expand to get,

$- 3x - 10x + 14 = - 12$

Group like terms to get,

$- 3x - 10x = - 12 - 14$

Simplify to get,

$- 13x = - 26$

Divide both sides by -13 to get,

$x = 2$

Put the value of x into equation (1) to get,

$y = 5(2) - 7$

$y = 10 - 7 = 3$

The solution is

$x = 2 \: \: and \: \: = 3$

QUESTION 5

The given system of linear equations are

$-4x+y=6....(1)$
and

$-5x-y=21...(2)$

We make y the subject in equation (1) to get,

$y = 4x + 6....(3)$

Put equation (3) into equation (2) to get,

$- 5x - (4x + 6) = 21$

We expand to get,

$- 5x - 4x - 6 =21$

We group like terms to get,

$- 5x - 4x = 21 + 6$

This implies that,

$- 9x = 27$

We divide both sides by -9 to get,

$x = - 3$

Put the value of x in to equation 3 to get,

$y = 4( - 3) + 6$

$y = - 12 + 6 = - 6$

Therefore the solution is

$x = - 3 \: and \: y = - 6$

QUESTION 6

The given equations are,

$-7x-2y=-13...(1)$

and

$x-2y=-13...(2)$

Make x the subject in equation (2) to get,

$x = 2y - 13...(3)$

Put equation (3) into equation (1) to get,
$- 7(2y - 13) - 2y = - 13$

We expand to get,

$- 14y + 91 - 2y = - 13$

We group like terms to obtain,

$- 14y - 2y = - 13 - 91$

.Simplify to get,

$- 16y = - 104$

Divide through by -16 to get,

$y = \frac{13}{2}$

Put the value of y into equation (3) to get,

$x = 2( \frac{13}{2} ) - 13$

$x = 13 - 13 = 0$

Therefore

$x = 0 \: and \: y = \frac{13}{2}$

When Klorina swims with the current, she swims 10 km in 2 h. Against the current, she can swim only 8 km in the same time. How f

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Klorina's rate in still water is 4.5 km/h

Current's rate is 0.5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x km/h = Klorina's rate in still water

y km/h = current's rate

<u>With the current (current helps):</u>

Distance = 10 km

Time = 2 hours

Rate = x + y km/h

$10=2(x+y)$

<u>Against the current:</u>

Distance = 8 km

Time = 2 hours

Rate = x - y km/h

$8=2(x-y)$

Divide both equations by 2:

$x+y=5\\ \\x-y=4$

Add these equations:

$x+y+x-y=5+4\\ \\2x=9\\ \\x=4.5\ km/h$

Subtract these two equations:

$(x+y)-(x-y)=5-4\\ \\x+y-x+y=1\\ \\2y=1\\ \\y=0.5\ km/h$

Two similar cylinders have radii of 15 inches and 6 inches. What is the ratio of the surface area of the small cylinder to the s

Levart [38]

Answer:

4:25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

r₁ = 15 inches, r₂ = 6 inches

The area of the cylinder is given by :

$A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$

The ratio of surface areas of two cylinders,

$\dfrac{S_2}{S_1}=\dfrac{2\pi r_2h_2+2\pi r_2^2}{2\pi r_1h_1+2\pi r_1^2}\\\\\dfrac{S_2}{S_1}=(\dfrac{r_2}{r_1})^2\\\\=\dfrac{6}{15}^2\\\\=\dfrac{4}{25}$

Hence, the required ratio is 4:25.
