Answer:

Option 4th is correct

The solution of the system of equations is, (9, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

$4(0.25x+0.5y = 3.75)$

⇒ $x+2y= 15$ .....[1]

$4x-8y = 12$

⇒ $x-2y = 3$ .....[2]

Add equation [1] and [2] we have;

$2x = 18$

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

$x = 9$

Substitute x = 9 in [1] we have;

$9+2y = 15$

Subtract 9 from both sides we have;

2y = 6

Divide both sides by 2, we have;

y = 3

Therefore, the solution of the system of equations is, (9, 3)

If you apply the linear combination method to the system like:
4(.25x + .5y = 3.75) → x + 2y = 15
(4x – 8y = 12) → x – 2y = 3
2x = 18
Then you can be sure that the solution of all this system is: (9,3). Hope this si what you were looking for

Margot has 21 1/2 pounds of flour 8 pounds of butter and 18 1/2 ponds of sugar to make shortbread cookies if she makes 12 batche

adell [148]

Answer:

4 pounds of ingredients are used in each batch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of flour = $21\frac{1}{2}pounds = \frac{43}{2}pounds$

Amount of butter = 8 pounds

Amount of sugar = $18\frac{1}{2}pounds= \frac{37}{2} pounds$

So, the total amount of all ingredients will be: $(\frac{43}{2}+\frac{37}{2}+8)pounds = (\frac{43+37+16}{2}) pounds= \frac{96}{2} pounds = 48 pounds$

Given that, she makes 12 batches of cookies using all the ingredients.

Thus, the amount of ingredients used in each batch $=\frac{48}{12} pounds = 4 pounds$

One of the Same side angles of two parallel lines is 60° greater than the other. Find the two angles.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

60,120

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that angles on the same side of the transversal always add up to 180 ( are supplementary)

Hence, taking one of the angles as x we get,

x+(60+x)=180

2x+60=180

2x=120

x=60

Hence, one angle is 60 degrees while the other 120 degrees

A study conducted at a certain high school shows that 72% of its graduates enroll at a college. Find the probability that among

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of graduates who enroll in college", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=4, p=0.72)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

We want to find the following probability:

$P(X \geq 1)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

A salesman's commission on 150,000 sale is 3000. what is the percent?

fomenos

The percentage is 98%.

You can find this by multiplying 98% (0.98) and 150,000 to get 147,000. Then subtract 147,000 from 150,000 to get 3,000.

I hope this helps!
