Write an equation system based on the problem
We can write the equation for "Twice the price in Japan minus five times the price in India is $20.60" as
∴ 2j - 5i = 20.6  <em>(first equation)</em>
We can write the equation for "Thirty cents less than three times the lowest price is thirty cents" as
∴ 3i - 0.30 = 0.30  <em>(second equation)</em>

Solve the equations
First, solve the second equation to find the price in India
3i - 0.3 = 0.3
3i = 0.3 + 0.3
3i = 0.6
  i = 0.6/3
  i = 0.2

Second, solve the first equation by subtitution of the value of i to the equation
2j - 5i = 20.6
2j - 5(0.2) = 20.6
2j - 1 = 20.6
2j = 20.6 + 1
2j = 21.6
  j = 21.6/2
  j = 10.8

The price in India is $0.20 and the price in Japan is $10.80

Directions: Calculate the percent increase or decrease between the starting and ending
Sveta_85 [38]

I'll do the first two to get you started

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

Problem 1

A = 3 = starting value

B = 10 = ending value

C = percent change

C = [ (B - A)/A ] * 100%

C = [ (10-3)/3 ] * 100%

C = (7/3) * 100%

C = 2.3333333 * 100%

C = 233.33333%

C = 233.3%

The positive C value means we have a percent increase. If C was negative, then we'd have a percent decrease.

<h3>Answer: 233.3% increase</h3>

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

Problem 2

A = 9 = start value

B = 20 = end value

C = percent change

C = [ (B - A)/A ] * 100%

C = [ (20-9)/9 ] * 100%

C = (11/9)*100%

C = 1.2222222222*100%

C = 122.22222222%

C = 122.2%

<h3>Answer: 122.2% increase</h3>

Q and R are independent events. P(Q) = 0.4; P(Q AND R) = 0.08. Find P(R).
algol [13]
Because Q and R are independent, you have

\mathbb P(Q\cap R)=\mathbb P(Q)\times\mathbb P(R)
0.08=0.4\times\mathbb P(R)
\implies \mathbb P(R)=0.2

Someone plz. help me with 7 and 8
Anon25 [30]
7.) the equation of the circle is
(x - 3)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 25

If you substitute the point in you get
(6-3)^2 + (8-4)^2 = 25
3^2 + 4^2 = 25
9 + 16 = 25
25 = 25

Both sides of the equation are the same so it proves it lies on the circle

8.) you add the x coordinates together and divide by 2
7 + 4 = 11
11/2 = 5.5
You use +7 because you need to find the midpoint.
You then add 5.5 to - 7 or - 5.5 from 4
-7 + 5.5 = - 1.5

You do the same for y coordinates
6+5 = 11
11/2 = 5.5
6-5.5 = 0.5

So the coordinates of Rachel's house are
(-1.5, 0.5)
