<h3>Equation : x + y = 170 and y = 2x - 40</h3><h3>The weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the weight of Bill be "x"

Let the weight of mark be "y"

Given that,

Mark and Bill have a combined weight of 170  pounds

Therefore,

x + y = 170 ------- eqn 1

Mark weighs 40 pounds less than twice Bill's  weight

y = 2x - 40 ------- eqn 2

<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>

x + 2x - 40 = 170

3x = 170 + 40

3x = 210

x = 70

<em><u>Substitute x = 70 in eqn 2</u></em>

y = 2(70) - 40

y = 140 - 40

y = 100

Thus weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

the probability that all tomatoes are sold is  0.919 (91.9%)

Step-by-step explanation:

since the random variable X= number of tomatoes that are demanded,  is normally distributed we can make the standard random variable Z such that:

Z=(X-μ)/σ = (83 - 125)/30 = -1.4

where μ= expected value of X= mean of X (since X is normally distributed)  , σ=standard deviation of X

then all tomatoes are sold if the demand surpasses 83 tomatos , therefore

P(X>83) = P(Z>-1.4) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4)

from tables of standard normal distribution →P(Z≤-1.4)=0.081 , therefore

P(X>83) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4)  = 1 - 0.081 = 0.919 (91.9%)

thus the probability that all tomatoes are sold is  0.919 (91.9%)

Please help!! Math problem and I don't know how to do it!! 14 points!!
IgorLugansk [536]

Let Brian's steps have a measure of 1, and Richard's steps have a measure of k. Then after each walks 5 steps away from the other, their distance apart is

... 5 + 5k

We are told that distance is equal to 9 of Richard's steps, so is equal to 9k.

... 5 + 5k = 9k

... 5 = 4k . . . . . . . subtract 5k

... 5/4 = k . . . . . . divide by 4

Richard's steps are 5/4 the size of Brian's steps. The appropriate selection is

... b) 5/4
