Answer:

The system of equations that can be used to calculate the number of bracelets and necklaces sold are:

                     x+y=23

and               2x+3y=55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bracelets are represented by x and the necklaces are represented by y.

Now it is given that:

  • Sherri has 23 pieces of jewelry to sell.

This implies that the equation that can be formed using this information is:

                 x+y=23------(1)

  • She sells the bracelets for $2 and the necklaces for $3, and earns a total of $55.

Hence, the equation formed by using this information is:

                 2x+3y=55--------(2)

Peggy takes 2.5 hours to deliver 328 magazines. What is the rate per hour she is delivering the magazines
grandymaker [24]

Answer: 131 magazines per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Peggy delivered 328 magazines in 2.5 hours.

To find out the rate at which she delivered these magazines, divide the number of magazines by the time taken to deliver them:

= Magazines / Time in hours

= 328 / 2.5

= 131 magazines per hour

△ABC ≅ △DEF, EF = x 2 - 7, and BC = 4x - 2.
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Therefore the value of x is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

△ABC ≅ △DEF,

EF = x 2 - 7, and

BC = 4x - 2.

To Find:

the values of x. = ?

Solution:

△ABC ≅ △DEF      ........Given

If two Triangles are congruent then the Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.

∴ BC ≅ EF   ...................CPCTC

Substituting the values we get

4x-2=x^{2}-7\\x^{2}-4x-5=0

Now By Factorizing we get

x^{2}-5x+x-5=0\\x(x-5)+1(x-5)=0\\(x+1)(x-5)=0\\x+1=0\ or\ x-5=0\\x=-1\ or\ x=5\\x\ cannot\ be\ negative\\\therefore x=5

Therefore the value of x is 5.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Sample mean =119.42

Median = 92

25% trimmed mean = 102.42

10% trimmed mean = 95.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Data in increasing order :

12 13 20 23 31 35 40 43 48 49 58 62 66 67 69 71 73 77 78 79 82 85 86 89 91 93 97 99 101 105 106 106 112 117 124 135 139 141 147 159 161 168 183 207 249 262 289 323 388 513

Total no. of observations = 50

Sample mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}}

= \frac{5971}{50} = 119.42

Median: Since we have even number of observation

Median = \frac{1}{2}({25\text{th term} + 26\text{th term}) = \frac{91+93}{2} = 92

10% Trimmed Mean: We remove 5 values from each side

Trimmed set = 35 40 43 48 49 58 62 66 67 69 71 73 77 78 79 82 85 86 89 91 93 97 99 101 105 106 106 112 117 124 135 139 141 147 159 161 168 183 207 249

Trimmed mean =  \frac{\text{Sum of Trimmed Set}}{\text{Total number of observations}} = \frac{4097}{40} = 102.42

25% Trimmed Mean: We remove 12 values from each side.

Trimmed set =  66 67 69 71 73 77 78 79 82 85 86 89 91 93 97 99 101 105 106 106 112 117 124 135 139 141

Trimmed mean =  \frac{\text{Sum of Trimmed Set}}{\text{Total number of observations}} = \frac{2488}{26} = 95.69
