Answer:

y = 11

Explanation:

8(y − 5) = 6y − 18

Simplify both sides of the equation

8(y − 5) = 6y − 18

(8)(y) + (8)(−5) = 6y + −18( Distribute)

8y + −40 = 6y + −18

8y − 40 = 6y − 18

Subtract 6y from both sides

8y − 40 − 6y = 6y − 18 − 6y

2y − 40 = −18

Add 40 to both sides

2y − 40 + 40 = −18 + 40

2y = 22

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2

2y / 2 = 22 / 2

y = 11

The prices of three t-shirts styles are $24, $30 and $36. the probability of choosing a $24 t-shirt is 1/6. the probability of c

Slav-nsk [51]

$\text{Answer} : \text{The expected value of a t-shirt is \$31.}$

Explanation:

Since we have given that

The prices of three t-shirts styles i.e $24, $30, $36 with their probability is given by

$\frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}$

As we know that,

$E(X)= \sum_{1}^{3}x_iP(x_i)$

$\text{where} x_i \text{ is the prices of t- shirts styles}$

Now,

$x_1= \$24 , x_2=\$30 , x_3=$36$

and

$P(x_1)=\frac{1}{6},P(x_2)=\frac{1}{2}, P(x_3)=\frac{1}{3}$

So,

$E(X)= 24\times \frac{1}{6}+30\times\frac{1}{2}+36\times \frac{1}{3}\\=4+15+12\\=31$

So, the expected value of a t-shirt = $31.

The difference between two positive integers is 3. If the smaller is added to the square of the larger, the sum is 87.

Komok [63]

Let x be larger integer so x-3 is the smaller
so x^2+ x-3 = 87
x^2 +x -90=0 and factor
(x-9)(x+10)=0
x=9 or x=-10 but x must be positive
so x=9 and smaller number is 6
