You got the equations correct, great job on that!

Let "s" be the variable that represents how many shirts were bought. Let "p" represent the total price/cost.

Equation for the store at Town Center mall:

p = 80 + 3.5s (80 is base cost, and cost increases 3.5 per shirt)

Equation for the store in Arlington:

p = 120 + 2.5s (120 is base cost, and cost increases 2.5 per shirt)

We want to find a point where the systems are equal; thus, we are solving for a system of linear equations, and we already have the equations we need.

p = 80 + 3.5s

p = 120 + 2.5s

We know that variable "p" is equal for both equations; thus, we can combine both equations into:

80 + 3.5s = 120 + 2.5s

Subtract both sides by 2.5s

80 + 3.5s - 2.5s = 120 + 2.5s - 2.5s

80 + s = 120

Subtract both sides by 80

s = 40

Thus, both equations are equal when 40 shirts are bought.

To find the cost, use any of the two equations (or both) to find the total cost, which should be equal.

p = 80 + 3.5(40) = 220

p = 120 + 2.5(40) = 220

Thus, the total price/cost at both stores is $220.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Tiwa spent 1 1/2 hours setting up her computer. It took her 3 times as long to install the software. How long did it take Tiwa t
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Total time spent by Tiwa to set up the computer and install software = 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time spent by Tiwa to set up  her computer = 1\frac{1}{2}\ hours

Time spent to install the software is 3 times the time she took to set up the computer.

To find the total time Tiwa took to set up her computer and install the software.

Solution:

Time spent by Tiwa to install the software can be given as:

⇒ 3\times 1\frac{1}{2} \ hours

<em>In order to multiply mixed numbers we first change them to fractions.</em>

We multiply the denominator to the whole number and add the numerator to it. Then we write the number as numerator of a fraction with the same denominator.

So, 1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}

So, we have:

⇒ 3\times \frac{3}{2}\ hours

⇒ \frac{9}{2}\ hours

Total time spent by Tiwa to set up the computer and install software can be given as:

⇒ \frac{3}{2}\ hours+\frac{9}{2}\ hours

Since denominators are same, so we simply add the numerators.

⇒ \frac{3+9}{2}\ hours

⇒ \frac{12}{2}\ hours

⇒ 6\ hours

If an hourglass takes an average of 1 hour to empty a full cycle, what probability of time does it take longer than 72 minutes i
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

0.82%

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the z-score.

z = (x − μ) / σ

z = (72 − 60) / 5

z = 2.4

Use a chart or calculator to find the probability.

P(Z > 2.4) = 1 − P(Z < 2.4)

P(Z > 2.4) = 1 − 0.9918

P(Z > 2.4) = 0.0082

The cube of twice a number
raketka [301]

Answer:

The cube of twice a number.

Twice a quantity usually indicates to take two of the things in question; usually this indicates to multiply by 2. Thus "twice a number x" can be written symbolically as 2x. If this is part of a problem, say twice a number x is 6, then we can rewrite algebraically as 2x=6; dividing both sides by 2 yields x=3.

What is the Y-Intercept and Slope of Y=10+1.75x?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The slope is 1.75 and the y intercept is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 10 +1.75x

y = 1.75x+10

This is in the form y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is 1.75 and the y intercept is 10
