Answer:

The answer to your question is a) C + J + S = 80

b) C = J + 5

c) S = 45 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To represent the number of hours that they work together, just add the variables and equal them to 80.

Carlito + Juan + Sara = 80

C + J + S = 80 Equation l

b) Juan worked 5 hours more than Carlito

Juan = Carlito + 5

J = C + 5 Equation ll

c) Hours worked by Sara

S = 3J Equation lll

C = J - 5

Substitute equation ll and lll in equation l to find J

J - 5 + J + 3J = 80

5J = 80 - 5

5J = 75

J = 75/5

J = 15

-Find S

S = 3(15)

S = 45 hours

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C represent the number of hours that Carlito worked.

Let J represent the number of hours that Juan worked.

Let S represent the number of hours that Sara worked.

1) The equation that would represent the fact that altogether they worked 80 hours is

C + J + S = 80

2) The equation that would represent the fact that Juan worked 5 more hours than Carlito is

J = C + 5

3) Sara worked 3 times as many hours as Juan. It means that

S = 3J

Substituting J = C + 5 into S = 3J, it becomes

S = 3(C + 5)

S = 3C + 15

Substituting S = 3C + 15 and

J = C + 5 into C + J + S = 80, it becomes

C + C + 5 + 3C + 15 = 80

C + C + 3C + 5 + 15 = 80

5C + 20 = 80

5C = 80 - 20

5C = 60

C = 60/5

C = 12

S = 3C + 15 = 3 × 12 + 15

S = 51 hours

Sara worked for 51 hours

The body temperatures of adults have a mean of 98.6°F and a standard deviation of 0.60° F. Describe the center and variability o

amid [387]

Answer:

center = 98.6, variability = 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The center is the mean.

So $\mu = 98.6$

The standard deviation of the sample of 50 adults is the variability, so

$s = \frac{0.6}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.08$

So the correct answer is:

center = 98.6, variability = 0.08

uincy uses the quadratic formula to solve for the values of x in a quadratic equation. He finds the solution, in simplest radica

Verdich [7]

Answer: according to spark notes: There can be 0, 1, or 2 solutions to a quadratic equation, depending on whether the expression inside the square root sign, (b2 - 4ac), is positive, negative, or zero. This expression has a special name: the discriminant.

In this case it is 0, not 2, which was my first and wrong answer

Help me plz I beg you

scZoUnD [109]

The answer would be C. We know that d is equal to the initial depth of a lake. The two given initial depths are 58 feet and 53 feet, so we know that one of the equations must be either d=58 or d=53. Because there only C has either one of those, d=58, we know that it must be the answer.

To find the other equation, it is just a linear function for the other lake. The y-intercept, or initial value, is 53, so in the equation y=mx+b, it is the b value. The slope, or m value, is 3 feet, so you have y=d=3x+53.
