Answer:

Keisha bought 3 sandwiches and 5 lemonades.

Equations:  x + y = 8       2x + y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a problem with two variables, you need to set up a system of equations comparing the two variables and solve using either substitution or elimination.  If 'x' represents the number of sandwiches and 'y' represents the number of lemonades, then x + y = 8 because they bought a total of 8 items.  Also, the cost of each item is given as well as the total amount of money spent.  So, our second equation is: 2x + y = 11.   We can use inverse operations to solve for 'y' in the first equation:  x + y - x = 8 - x which simplifies to: y = 8 - x.  We can then use this expression to substitute in for the variable 'y' in the second equation:  2x + 8 - x = 11.

Combine like terms:  x + 8 = 11

Inverse Operations: x +8 - 8 = 11 - 8

Solve:  x = 3, so Keisha bought 3 sandwiches

Solve for y:  y = 8 - 3 = 5, so Keisha bought 5 lemonades

\large -6x+6y=6<br> \large 6x+3y=12
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

the solution of the system is:

x = 1 and y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose that we want to solve the equation:

-6*x + 6*y = 6

6*x + 3*y = 12

To solve this, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

Let's isolate y in the first equation:

6*y = 6 + 6*x

y = (6 + 6*x)/6

y = 6/6 + (6*x)/6

y = 1 + x

Now we can replace this in the other equation:

6*x + 3*(1 + x) = 12

6*x + 3 + 3*x = 12

9*x + 3 = 12

9*x = 12 - 3 = 9

x = 9/9 = 1

Now that we know that x = 1, we can replace this in the equation "y = 1 + x" to find the value of y.

y = 1 + (1)  = 2

Then the solution of the system is:

x = 1 and y = 2.

A batch of 40 semiconductor chips is inspected by choosing a sample of 5 chips. Assume 10 of the chips do not conform to custome
butalik [34]

Answer:

a) 658008 samples

b) 274050 samples

c) 515502 samples

Step-by-step explanation:

a) How many ways sample of 5 each can be selected from 40 is just a combination problem since the order of selection isn't important.

So, the number of samples = ⁴⁰C₅ = 658008 samples

b) How many samples of 5 contain exactly one nonconforming chip?

There are 10 nonconforming chips in the batch, and 1 nonconforming chip for the sample of 5 be picked from ten in the following number of ways

¹⁰C₁ = 10 ways

then the remaining 4 conforming chips in a sample of 5 can be picked from the remaining 30 total conforming chips in the following number of ways

³⁰C₄ = 27405 ways

So, total number of samples containing exactly 1 nonconforming chip in a sample of 5 = 10 × 27405 = 274050 samples

c) How many samples of 5 contain at least one nonconforming chip?

The number of samples of 5 that contain at least one nonconforming chip = (Total number of samples) - (Number of samples with no nonconforming chip in them)

Number of samples with no nonconforming chip in them = ³⁰C₅ = 142506 samples

Total number of samples = 658008

The number of samples of 5 that contain at least one nonconforming chip = 658008 - 142506 = 515502 samples

Monica paid sales tax of $1.60 when she bought a new bike helmet. If the sales tax rate was 8%, how much did the store charge fo
Lapatulllka [165]
To find the total from the percent part you have, you divide the part by the percentage.
1.50÷0.05=30
The total is $30
The total the store charged, including sales tax, is $31.50.

An angle measures 156° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Angle 1: 168

Angle 2: 12

Explanation:

I did the math! basically, i did 168-156, and got 12. Then i added, 168+12, and got 180. So i know that both angles together make 180 degrees, which is the definition of supplementary angles.
