Answer:

(\frac{17}{2}, \frac{33}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 2x = 16 - 8y → (1)

x + 4y = 25 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 4y from both sides

x = 25 - 4y → (3)

Substitute x = 25 - 4y into (1)

- 2 (25 - 4y) = 16 - 8y ← distribute left side

- 50 + 8y = 16 - 8y ( add 8y to both sides )

- 50 + 16y = 16 ( add 50 to both sides )

16y = 66 ( divide both sides by 16 )

y = \frac{66}{16} = \frac{33}{8}

Substitute this value into (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 25 - 4 × \frac{33}{8} )

  = \frac{50}{2} - \frac{33}{2} = \frac{17}{2}

Solution is ( \frac{17}{2}, \frac{33}{8} )

William buys a book for $14.85. If he pays with a $20 bill, what will his change c be? Write an equation.
butalik [34]
<h3>Answer:  14.85 + c = 20</h3>

============================================================

Reason:

To compute the change, we subtract the amount William gives the cashier (the $20) and the price of the book ($14.85)

The change c is

c = 20-14.85

To rearrange this equation, we can add 14.85 to both sides to end up with 14.85 + c = 20

In other words, solving that equation in bold leads to c = 20-14.85 = 5.15 which is the change William is given.

----------------

Extra info (optional section)

If the cashier wanted to mentally figure out the change in his/her head, then notice the jump from 85 cents to 100 cents is 15 cents. That means we go from 14.85 to 15.00

Then the jump from $15 to $20 is an extra 5 dollars. Overall, the total change given back to William is 0.15+5 = 5.15 dollars.

A grocery​ store's receipts show that sunday customer purchases have a skewed distribution with a mean of ​$3030 and a standard
leva [86]

A. we use the z statistic to solve this problem

z = (x – u) / s

We calculate the value of the sample mean u and standard deviation s:

u = $30 * 304 = $9120

s = $21 * 304 = $6384

 

z = (9,600 – 9120) / 6384

z = 0.075

 

From the normal tables using right tailed test,

P = 0.47

 

B. At worst 11% means P = 0.11, so the z value at this is z = -1.23

-1.23 = (x – 9120) / 6384

x = 1267.68

If the complex number x = 3 + bi and |x| 2 = 13, which is a possible value of b?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

A.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that |x|² = 13 and x = 3+bi:

(3+bi)² = 13

3² + b² = 13

9 + b² = 13

Subtract 9 from each side:

9 + b² - 9 = 13 - 9

b² = 4

Take the square root of each side:

√b² = √4

b = 2
