Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of soap that she makes and eventually sells.

She intially spent $72 to purchase soap-making equipment, and the materials for each pound of soap cost $7. This means that the total cost of making x pounds of soap would be

7x + 72

Lisa sells the soap for $10 per pound. This means that her revenue for x pounds of soap would be

10 × x = 10x

If she eventually sells enough soap to cover the cost of the equipment, then

7x + 72 = 10x

10x - 7x = 72

3x = 72

x = 72/3 = 24

She would need to sell make and sell 24 soaps.

The cost would be

72 + 7 × 24 = $240

The total sales would be

10 × 24 = $240

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

e. If is likely that between 35% and 41% percent of the driving population would be willing to pay higher gas prices to protect the environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error expresses the number of percentage points of error is contained within  survey result. A large error margin therefore reduces the level of dependence on a given statistic. The margin of error describes the expected variation between the statistic sample and the real population value.

In the question, the option

e. If is likely that between 35% and 41% percent of the driving population would be willing to pay higher gas prices to protect the environment , clearly depicts the definition of margin of error as it shows the expected variance from te real population

Solve the equation for y (y-3)^2=4y-12
Ket [755]
(y -3)^2 = 4y - 12

Expand.

(y-3)(y -3) = 4y - 12

y² - 6y + 9 = 4y - 12

y² - 6y -4y + 9 + 12 = 0

y² - 10y + 21 = 0

Factors are -7y and - 3y

y² - 10y + 21 = 0

y² - 3y - 7y + 21 = 0

y(y - 3) -7(y - 3) = 0

(y - 3)(y - 7) = 0

y-3 = 0   or    y - 7 = 0

y = 0 + 3  or  y = 0 + 7

y = 3 or 7
