Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two simultaneous equations.

(1) y = 2x + 50

(2) y = 4.5x

1. Subtract (1) from (2)

0 = 2.5x - 50

2. Add 50 to each side

2.5x = 50

3. Divide each side by 2.5

x = 20

Pilar must sell 20 items to break even.

What is a common denominator of 1/2 and 1/4

attashe74 [19]

<span>If you're trying to rewrite 1/2 and 1/4 in terms of the same common denominator, all you have to do is multiply the top and bottom of 1/2 by 4 (which is the denominator of 1/4) and the top and bottom of 1/4 by 2 (which is the denominator of 1/2) to find that 1/2 = (1 x 4) / (2 x 4) = 4/8 and 1/6 = (1 x 2) / (4 x 2) = 2/8.</span>

Answer: 3.75z+12
For an equivalent expression, lets simplify the equation.

3/4(5z+16)
multiply both '5z' and '16' by 3/4
3.75z+12

a bag contains eleven counters. five are white. a counter is taken out the bag and is not replaced. a second counter is taken ou

Fed [463]

Answer:

$\displaystyle P(A)=\frac{6}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

The question describes an event where two counters are taken out of a bag that originally contains 11 counters, 5 of which are white.

Let's call W to the event of picking a white counter in any of the two extractions, and N when the counter is not white. The sample space of the random experience is

$\Omega=\{WW,WN,NW,NN\}$

We are required to compute the probability that only one of the counters is white. It means that the favorable options are

$A=\{WN,NW\}$

Let's calculate both probabilities separately. At first, there are 11 counters, and 5 of them are white. Thus the probability of picking a white counter is

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{11}$
