Answer:

3x + 2y = 16

x = 2 , y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that George bought x quarts at $3.00 per quart & y quarts at $2.00 per quart and he bought 7 quarts for $16.00

Considering the total cost

3x + 2y = 16

For the cost of each

x + y = 7

solving the 2 equations simultaneously be substitution

x = 7 - y

3(7 - y) + 2y = 16

21 - 3y + 2y = 16

-3y + 2y = 16 - 21

-y = - 5

Divide both sides by -1

y = 5

x = 7 -y

x = 7 - 5

= 2

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

<h2>         a ∈ (-∞, -3></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>- 21 ≥ 3(a - 7) + 9</h3><h3>- 21 ≥ 3a - 21 + 9</h3>

  +21         +21

<h3>    0 ≥ 3a + 9 </h3><h3>3a + 9 ≤ 0</h3>

      -9      -9

<h3>3a ≤ - 9</h3>

A quality-control engineer samples 100 items manufactured by a certain process, and finds that 15 of them are defective. True or
goldenfox [79]

Answer: b) The probability that an item produced by this process is defective is likely to be close to 0.15, but not exactly equal to 0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of samples = 100

Number of defective samples = 15

Proportion =number defective samples / total samples

P = 15 / 100 = 0.15

Hence, the probability that an item produces is defective is 0.15.

However, due to sampling Variations, the probability will be corrected for these variations. Hence, probability that an item produced by this process is defective is likely to be close to 0.15, but not exactly equal to 0.15.

A father’s age now is three times the age that his son was 4 years ago. In
Mice21 [21]
Let ‘s’ be the son’s age 12 years ago.
Let ‘f’ be the father’s current age.

4 years ago, the son was:

s-4

So, his father is currently:

3(s-4)

=

3s-12

Therefore:

f = 3s-12

In twelve years, the son will be:

s+12

And the father will be:

f+12

This can also be written as:

3s-12+12 as the fathers younger age would be f = 3s+12

=

3s

So, we know that s+12 is half the fathers current age, meaning the father is currently 2(s+12) which is equivalent to 2s+24. Also, we know that the father is currently 3 times the sons age 12 years ago, so 3s (proven by the calculations we made above). Therefore, 2s+24=3s which means 24=s. We can then substitute this, and we will receive 24+12 = 36

Son’s current age: 36

We then substitute the son’s age 12 years ago into 2s+24 to give us the father’s age.

2(24)+24 = 72

Father’s current age: 72

Solve x2 = 12x – 15 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation? Solve x2 = 12x – 15 by completing the s
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: 6+\sqrt{21}\ \text{and}\ 6-\sqrt{21}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadratic equation is

x^2-12x+15=0

Solving by completing the square method

\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+15=0\\\text{add and subtract 36}\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+15+36-36=0\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+36+(-36+15)=0\\\text{using}\ (a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\\\Rightarrow (x-6)^2-21=0\\\Rightarrow (x-6)^2=21\\\Rightarrow x-6=\pm \sqrt{21}\\\Rightarrow x=6\pm \sqrt{21}

The solution set of the equation is 6+\sqrt{21}\ \text{and}\ 6-\sqrt{21}
