yeet


first brand quantity is x

2nd brand quantity is y


x+y=30

0.3x+0.55y=0.35(30) or 0.3x+0.55y=10.5

solve for x and y

multiply first equation  by -0.3

-0.3x-0.3y=-9

add to 2nd equation


0.3x-0.3y=-9

<u>0.3x+0.55y=10.5 +</u>

0x+0.25y=1.5


0.25y=1.5

divide both sides by 0.25

y=6

sub back

x+y=30

x+6=30

x=24


you need 24 gallons of the first brand and 6 gallons of the 2nd brand

Answer: First Brand = 24 gallons, Second Brand = 6 gallons

<u>Explanation:</u>

                          Quantity         %           Qty (%)

First Brand              x              0.30          0.30x

Second Brand  <u>   30 - x   </u>     <u>  0.55  </u>        <u>0.55(30 - x) </u>= 16.5 - 0.55x

              Total       30        *    0.35     =     0.30x + 16.5 - 0.55x

                                            30(0.35)  =    16.5 - 0.25x

                                                10.5      =    16.5 - 0.25x

                                                -6.0      =            - 0.25x

                                                  24      =                      x

Second Brand: 30 - x   = 30 - 24   = 6

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Divide by 4, because 4 is a factor of 88.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is incorrect reasoning because what the constant is on the right side of the equation has nothing to do with the number you are dividing by. In other words, you are dividing by 4 because that isolates the x-variable, and if it was 5x you would divide by 5. The number that you are dividing by only is determined by what number isolates x.

A company has a policy of retiring company cars; this policy looks at number of miles driven, purpose of trips, style of car and
erastova [34]

Answer:

15.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation, 95% falls within two standard deviation and 99.7% falls within three standard deviation.

Given mean (μ) = 41 months, standard deviation (σ) = 5 months

One standard deviation = μ ± σ = 41 ± 5 = (36, 46)

Therefore 68% falls within 36 months and 41 months

Two standard deviation = μ ± 2σ = 41 ± 2(5) = (31,51)

Therefore 95% falls within 31 months and 51 months

Three standard deviation = μ ± 3σ = 41 ± 3(5) = (26, 56)

Therefore 99.7% falls within 26 months and 56 months

The percentage of cars that remain in service between 46 and 51 months = 32%/2 - 0.3%/2 = 16% - 0.15% = 15.85%

During a backgammon game, Jimmy rolled two dice on the board. Find the probability that the sum obtained was greater than 8 give
True [87]

Answer:

<h2>2/3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on probability

Given that two dice are expected to give an outcome of sum greater than 8

But in the problem statement the first die is already settled since it is showing 6 already.

Now for the second die, the possible outcomes that will add up with the first die to produce a figure greater than 8 are (3,4,5,6)  

The probability of obtaining either of these numbers is 4/6= 2/3

<em>Having the first die settled, this means that the probability of obtaining a sum of 8 is 2/3</em>
