Let's make some variables to represent the cost of the tables and chairs.

Let x be equal to the cost of one chair
Let y be equal to the cost of one table

The total cost for 3 chairs and 2 tables is $17.

3x + 2y = 17

The total cost for 8 chairs and 4 tables is $37.

8x + 4y = 37

Now we have our system of equations.
Let's solve it.

3x + 2y = 17
8x + 4y = 37

We can cancel the y's very easily. Then it would just leave us with the x's.
Multiply the top equation by -2.

3x(-2) + 2y(-2) = 17(-2) = 
-6x - 4y =  -34

Then add the equations together.

-6x - 4y = -34
8x + 4y = 37
        =
2x = 3

Then just divide both sides by 2.

x = 1.5

Substitute 1.5 into one of the equation. I'll pick 3x + 2y = 17

3(1.5) + 2y = 17 ; Start
4.5 + 2y = 17      ; Multiply 3 and 1.5 together
2y = 12.5             ; Subtract 4.5 from each side of the equation
y = 6.25                ; Divide both sides by the coefficient of y. Which 2

So, a chair costs $1.50 and a table costs $6.25.

3+2 = 5
8 + 4  = 12 
37 / 12 = 3.08
5 / 17  = 3 .04 
so i would say 3 dollars

A dependent means t-test determines if the differences between scores on the pretest and posttest measures differ significantly
lara31 [8.8K]

A dependent means t-test determines if the differences between scores on the pretest and post-test measures differ significantly from Zero(0).

Benefits of pre-test measurements

This design is superior to the post-test-only control design because it adds pre-tests. Addition of pre-test: Improve your design ability to detect effects. You can investigate the impact of interventions on various sublevels of pretesting.

The design of the pre-test and post-test is similar to the in-subject experiment. In this experiment, each participant is first tested in control conditions and then in therapeutic conditions.

Can you answer question 29, please?

From the table, for every 6 containers of water, you need 8 containers of red dye. So, for every one container of red dye you need 0.75 containers of water (6/8). Then, multiply that by 100 (since you wanted to know water necessary for 100 containers of red dye). For 100 containers of red dye, you would need 75 containers of water.

a purse contains 25p coins and 50 p coins. the total amount in the purse is rs.25. if the number of 50 p coins is double the num
erica [24]
Let the total no. of 25 p coins be x
50p coins = 2x 

Value of 25 p coins ( in rupees) = 0.25*x =0.25x
Value of 50p coins ( in rupees) = 0.5*2x = x

0.25x+x = 25
1.25x =25
x = 25/1.25 = 20

no. if 25p coins = 20
and 50p coins = 2*20 = 40
