If the square of a positive number is increased by 4 times the number, the sum is 117.

Noah is buying a pair of jeans and using a coupon for 10%off. The total price is $56.70 which includes $2.70 in sales tax. Noah’

lora16 [44]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that Noah's purchase can be modeled by the equation:

$x-0.1x+2.70=56.70$

Part 1)

The solution to the equation will be the value of x.

In this case, x will represent the original price of the jeans.

We know that Noah has a coupon for 10% off the original price of the jeans.

So, 0.1x will represent how much of the original price Noah gets a a discount on.

Therefore, (x - 0.1x) represents the total cost of the jeans after the coupon.

So, x is our original price of the jeans.

Part 2)

To verify that 70 is not a solution, we can simply substitute 70 for x and check whether or not the equation is true. So:

$(70)-0.1(70)+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}56.70$

Multiply:

$70-7+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}56.7$

Subtract:

$63+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}56.7$

Add:

$65.7\neq56.7$

However, we can verify that 60 is the solution by substituting. So, substitute 60 for every x:

$(60)-0.1(60)+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}5.7$

Multiply:

$60-6+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}56.7$

Subtract:

$54+2.7\stackrel{?}{=}56.7$

Add:

$56.7\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}56.7$

So, 60 is indeed the solution and is the value of x.

So, this means that $60 was the original price of the jeans.

Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 141.8 lb and 218 lb. If women's weights are

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$P(141.8$

And we can find this probability with this difference and using the normal standard table:

$P(-0.639$

Then the answer would be approximately 55.3% of women between the specifications. And that represent more than the half of women

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(173.6,49.8)$

Where $\mu=173.6$ and $\sigma=49.8$

We are interested on this probability

$P(141.8$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(141.8$

And we can find this probability with this difference and using the normal standard table:

$P(-0.639$

Then the answer would be approximately 55.3% of women between the specifications. And that represent more than the half of women
