Answer:

weight of legs - 7 ounces

weight of wings - 4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of a chicken leg be represented by l

Let the weight of a chicken wing be represented by w

The total weight of Mr. Nguyen's package can be represented by this equation :

4l + 6w = 52

The total weight of Ms. Dawen's package can be represented by this equation :

3l + 6w = 45

To find the weight of the legs and wing, use simultaneous equation

4l + 6w = 52 eqn 1

3l + 6w = 45 eqn 2

Subtract equation 2 from 1

l = 7 ounces

Substitute for l in equation 1

4(7) + 6w = 52

28 + 6w = 52

Solve for w

w = 4 ounces

Can somebody explain Literal equations to solve for a given variable? i am so confused about it
anastassius [24]

The explanation of using Literal equations to solve for a given variable is as explained below.

How to solve Literal Equations?

Literal equations are equations containing two or more variables; at least one independent variable and one dependent variable

To solve a literal equation means to rewrite the equation so a different variable stands alone on one side of the equals sign. We have to be told for which variable we want to solve.

Linear equations in one variable may take the form ax + b = 0  and are solved using basic algebraic operations.

We begin by classifying linear equations in one variable as one of three types: identity, conditional, or inconsistent. An identity equation is true for all values of the variable.

Suppose you do an analysis of the starting salaries of 100 recent Lehman graduates. You find that the average starting salary is
madreJ [45]

Answer:

a) (59180,60820)

b) (59020,60980)        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = $60,000

Standard Deviation, σ = $5,000

Sample size, n = 100

a) 90% critical values

\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.10} = 1.64

60000 \pm 1.64(\frac{5000}{\sqrt{100}} ) = 60000 \pm 820 = (59180,60820)

b) 95% critical values

\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

60000 \pm 1.96(\frac{5000}{\sqrt{100}} ) = 60000 \pm 980= (59020,60980)

Jill had a certain amount of money. she spent 15$ downloading new songs. she has 2/5 of the original amount left. how much money
Lostsunrise [7]
Let's call the original amount of money x.

We know that she has 2/5 of the original amount left, and that this is equal to $15.

Therefore, 2/5(x) = 15, and x = $37.50.
