Answer:

a = - 2 and b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side and compare relevant values to the right side

(ax²)(-6 $x^{b}$ ) = - 6a $x^{2+b}$

For the 2 sides to equate then

- 6a = 12 ⇒ a = - 2 and

2 + b = 5 ⇒ b = 5 - 2 = 3

There are 81 red, blue and yellow

wel

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Given

Total counters = 81

red counters are 9 more than the yellow ones.

And Yellow counter = blue counter

So let the Yellow counter be x and as blue counter and yellow counter are same then blue counter will be also x

And by the question

Red counter = 9 + x

Now

9 + x + x + x = 81

9 + 3x = 81

3x = 81 - 9

3x = 72

x = 72 / 3

Therefore x = 24

Now

Red counters = 9 + 24 = 33

Blue counters = 24

Yellow counters = 24

Hope it helped :)

Answer:

a) $42,580

b) $43,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall, "mode" refers to the value which occurs most frequently.

In this case, the question says that there are 2 modes,

this means $34,000 and $50,500 both share the spot for the most frequently appearing salary.

because there are only 5 employees (and hence 5 salaries), the only possible way that there are two modes is if there are two of each mode, leaving only the last salary unknown.

i.e if we list the 5 salaries (in no particular order)

$34,000 $34,000 $50,500 $50,500 $ x

where x is the 5th unknown salary.

Given that the mean is $42,100

Then (34,000 + 34,000 + 50,500 + 50,500 + x) / 5 = 42,100

solving for x gives x = $41,500

Now we know all the values, we can rearrange them in increasing value:

$34,000 $34,000 $41,500 $50,500 $50,500

from this, we can see that the median salary is $41,500

Given that the median salary gets a $2400 raise,

the new median salary = $41,500 + $2400 = $43,900 (Ans for part b)

new mean salary,

= ($34,000 + $34,000 + $43,900 + $50,500 + $50,500 ) / 5

= $42,580 (answer for part a)

Note: This is a perfect application for equations of ratios.

50 40

------- = ------- and so 50x = 1200, or 5x = 120, or x = 24 (miles).

At Friday's football game, 1,294 tickets were sold for a total amount of $8,816.00. If each student ticket costs $5.00, and each

NeTakaya

Answer:

512 student tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be number of student tickets and y be number of adult tickets.

We have been given that at Friday's football game 1,294 tickets were sold. We can represent this information as:

$x+y=1294...(1)$

We are also told that each student ticket costs $5.00, and each adult ticket costs $8.00 and 1,294 tickets were sold for a total amount of $8,816. We can represent this information as:

$5x+8y=8,816...(2)$
