2a+1b=27.50

4a+2b=59.50

Multiply first equation by -4 and the second by 2 so you can drop off the a values then add the equations together.  Then solve for b.  You should get b=6.

Then plug b into one of the original equations and solve for a and you should get 10.75

So a plate of spaghetti is $10.75 and a salad is $6.

Answer: The value of cross price elasticity is 1.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Percent change in price = 10%

Percent change in quantity = 16%

So, we need to find the cross price elasticity between the two movie club memberships.

As we know the formula for cross price elasticity :

\dfrac{\%\text{change in demand}}{\%\text{change in price}}\\\\=\dfrac{16}{10}\\\\=1.6

Hence, the value of cross price elasticity is 1.6.

The Area of a rectangle is Length times Width.

3 * (x+4) = 36
3x + 12 = 36
3x = 24
x = 8. So the length of the rectangle is 12

A box contains different colored paper clips. The probability of drawing two red paper clips from the box without replacement is
ivann1987 [24]

Answer: 5/14 which is choice B

================================================

How I got this answer:

Define the following events

A = event of picking a red paper clip on the first selection

B = event of picking a red paper clip on the second drawing

Replacement is not made.

Now onto the probabilities for each

P(A) = 2/5 = 0.4 is given to us as this is simply the probability of picking red on the first try

P(A and B) = probability of both events A and B happeing simultaneously = 1/7

P(B|A) = probability event B occurs, given event A has occured

P(B|A) = probability of selecting red on second selection, given first selection is red (no replacement)

P(B|A) = P(A and B)/P(A)

P(B|A) = (1/7) / (2/5)

P(B|A) = (1/7) * (5/2)

P(B|A) = (1*5)/(7*2)

P(B|A) = 5/14

So if event A happens, then the chances of event B happening is 5/14

------------------

A more concrete example:

If we had 15 paperclips, and 6 of them were red, then

P(A) = (# of red)/(# total) = 6/15 = 2/5

P(B|A) = (# of red left)/(# total left) = (6-1)/(15-1) = 5/14

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B|A) = (2/5)*(5/14) = 10/70 = 1/7

Only t circled ones somebody plz help I am gonna get a 0 plz help I will give you brainleist
Vikki [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A number <em>m</em> is at least four

<em>m ≥ 4  ['at least' = ≥ symbol]</em>

<em />

2) 4x  ≤ 20x; x=2

4(2) ≤ 20(2)

8 ≤ 40

[Im not sure if this is a solution or and inequality :/ ]

3)  x < 5

--> On the line, draw the number 0, and the number five. 'x < 5' also means 'x is less that five.' So, draw a dot over the line before 5, and make an arrow going to the left of the page,

<-----------------------------------o   5

<---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--->

                          0

Hopefully this helps! :)
