Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Write your answer as an order pair. y=x-2 and y=-2x+7

1. Gavin and Seiji both worked hard over the summer. Together, they earned a total of $425. Gavin earned $25 more than Seiji. Ho

Gre4nikov [31]

Let x = the amount that Seini earned
Then x + 25 = the amount that Gavin
The amount Gavin earned would also = 425 - x (your directions asked you to have 2 equations.)
Together they earned 425:
x + (x + 25) = 425
2x + 25 = 425
2x = 400
Now divide both sides by 2 to find x.

Use all of this data to satisfy the directions.

You roll a 4-sided die repeatedly. On your odd-numbered rolls (1st,3rd,5th, etc.) you are victorious if you get a 4. On your eve

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

E (Y) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If a 4-sided die is being rolled repeatedly; and the odd-numbered rolls (1st 3rd,5th, etc.)

The probability of odd number roll will be, p(T) = $\frac{1}{2}$

However, on your even-numbered rolls, you are victorious if you get a 3 or 4. Also, the probability of even number roll, p(U) = $\frac{1}{2}$

In order to calculate: E (Y); We can say Y to be the number of times you roll.

We know that;

E (Y) = E ( Y|T ) p(T) + E ( Y|U ) p(U)

Let us calculate E ( Y|T ) and E ( Y|U )

Y|T ≅ geometric = $\frac{1}{4}$

Y|U ≅ geometric = $\frac{1}{2}$

also; x ≅ geometric (p)

∴ E (x) = $\frac{1}{p}$

⇒ $\frac{Y}{T}$ = 4 ; also $\frac{Y}{U}$ = 2

E (Y) = 4 × $\frac{1}{2}$ + 2 ×

= 2+1

E (Y) = 3

Anty was riding his bike to school at a speed of 12 mph. When he was of the way there, he got a flat tire. His mother drove him

NemiM [27]

Complete question:

Anty was riding his bike to school at a speed of 12 mph. When he was <u>half </u>of the way there, he got a flat tire. His mother drove him the rest of the way at a speed of 48 mph. What was his average speed?

Answer:

His average speed is 19.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

speed of Anty to school half of the way, v₁ = 12 mph

speed of Anty when his mother drove him half of the way, v₂ = 48 mph

The average speed of Anty is calculated as;

$V_{average} = \frac{Total \ distance }{Total \ time }$

The value of the average speed is closer to 12 mph than 48 mph because Anty spent more time moving at 12 mph than at 48 mph.

Let the equal distance travel at each speed = 96 miles

Time taken at 12 mph = $\frac{96 \ mile}{12 \ m/h} = 8 \ hours$

Time taken at 12 mph = $\frac{96 \ mile}{48 \ m/h} = 2 \ hours$

Average speed = $\frac{Total \ distance}{Total \ time } = \frac{96 \ mile \ + \ 96 \ mile}{2\ hr \ + \ 8\ hr} = \frac{192 \ miles}{10 \ hrs} = 19.2 \ mph$

Also, you can assume any other equal distance traveled at each speed, the average speed will still be 19.2 mph.

<u>Check:</u> let the equal distance traveled at each speed = 480 miles

Time taken at 12 mph = 480/12 = 40 hours

Time taken at 48 mph = 480/ 48 = 10 hours

Average speed = (480 + 480) / (40 + 10)

= 19.2 mph

Andrew needs a ladder to hang hoilday lights. His house is 24ft tall and he has a flower bef that extends 4 ft out from the side

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: $24.33\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to draw a Right triangle as the one attached, where "x" is the lenght of a ladder Andrew will need to reach the top and be out of the flower bed.

You must apply the Pythagorean Theorem. This is:

$a^2=b^2+c^2$
