Answer:
29
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the number of wins. Then the number of losses is w-18. The total number of games played is ...
wins + losses = 40
w + (w-18) = 40
2w = 58
w = 29
The Rangers won 29 games.
I got B and D, sorry if my answers are wrong!!
Answer:
0.78
Step-by-step explanation:
given that 80% of an airline's flights depart on-time and 20% do not.
Of those that depart on-time, 95% arrive on-time. Of those that depart late, 10% arrive on-time
Let A be the event that flight departs on time.
Now A and A' are mutually exclusive and exhaustive
Let B be the event the flight arrives on time
Using total probability calculation we have
the chance of someone taking a flight that will arrive on-time
= P(B)
=

Answer:
$13.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Let f represent the price per foot of pasture fence, and p represent the price per foot of picket fence. The two purchases can be written in equation form as ...
2000f + 450p = 12850
700f +300p = 6350
Using Cramer's rule, we can find the value of the picket fence as ...
p = (12850·700 -6350·2000)/(450·700 -300·2000) = -3705000/-285000
p = 13
The cost per foot of picket fence is $13.00.

<em>Cramer's Rule and Vedic math</em>
The above equation for p is a summary of the math you would be doing if you were to solve the equations by eliminating f. Cramer formulates it in terms of determinants of the coefficients in the equations. Practitioners of Vedic math formulate it in terms of X-pattern combinations of the coefficients in much the same way as finding a determinant. For the equations ...
The solutions are ...
∆ = bd -ea
x = (bf -ec)/∆
y = (cd -fa)/∆ . . . . . this is the equation we used above
__
If you do a rigorous comparison of this formula with that of Cramer's rule, you find the signs of numerator and denominator are reversed. That has no net effect on the solution, but it makes the X pattern of products easier to remember for practitioners of Vedic math.
