Noah works at a concession stand selling bags of popcorn and cans of soda. A bag of popcorn costs $2.50 and a can of soda costs

$1.50. One night, he notices that he sold a total of 300 items and collected a total of $522. Determine the system of equations that could be used to solve this problem, where x represents the number of bags of popcorn sold and y represents the number of cans of soda sold

Set up 2 equations:

Total items sold: x + y = 300

This gets rewritten as x = 300-y

The second equation is for total amount made:

2.50x + 1.50y = 522

Replace x in the 2nd equation with the value of x from the first one:

2.50(300-y) + 1.50y = 522

Simplify:

750 - 2.50y + 1.50y = 522

Combine like terms:

750 - y = 522

Subtract 750 from both sides:

-y = -228

Divide both sides by -1 ( to make y positive)

y = 228

Now replace y in the first equation to solve for x:

x+ 228 = 300

Subtract 228 from both sides:

x = 72

He sold 72 bags of popcorn and 228 sodas.

Factor the polynomial. 7x2 + 68xy - 20y2 A) (7x - 2y)(x + 10y) B) (7x - 10y)(x - 2y) C) (7x + 10y)(x + 2y) D) (7x + 2y)(x - 10y)
Otrada [13]
For this case we have the following polynomial:
 7x2 + 68xy - 20y2
 Factoring we have:
 (7x-2y) (x + 10y)
 We verify the factorization:
 7x2 + 70xy - 2xy - 20y2
 Rewriting we have:
 7x2 + 68xy - 20y2
 Therefore, the factorization is correct.
 Answer:
 
A) (7x - 2y) (x + 10y)

Does increase in sample size increases degrees of freedom for t-tests.
Elena-2011 [213]
Basically degrees of freedom are related to sample size (n-1). If the df increases, it also stands that the sample size is increasing; the graph of the t-distribution will have skinnier tails, pushing the critical value towards the mean.

2, 6, 8, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14

Median = middle number i. e 8 and 9

Therefore median = 8 + 9 divided by 2

= 17 divided 2

= 8.5

Answers = 8.5 or 8½
