Answer:

35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.

15 pounds of tea for 60 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

x · 80 + y · 60 = 50 · 74

x + y = 50 · (- 60)

80x + 60y= 50 · 74

- 60x - 60y = -50 · 60

20x = 50 · (74-60) = 50 · 14

x = 50 · 14/20

35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.

y = 50 - 35 =

15 pounds of tea for 60 cents.

Answer:

35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation::

value + value = value

80x + 60(50-x) = 74*50  

80x + 60*50 - 60x = 74*50  

20x = 14*50

x = 35 lbs (amt. of 80 cent tea to use)

50-x = 15 lbs (amt. of 60 cent tean to use)

Consider the enlargement of the pentagon. A small pentagon has a bottom side length of x centimeters and left side length of 7 c
LuckyWell [14K]

When the pentagon is drawn to scale then its value of x will be x=3.3 cm

<h3>What is the pentagon?</h3>

The pentagon is defined as the shape having five sides connected together.

Now it is given in the question that

For small pentagone

Bottom =x

left =7 cm

For larger pentagone

Bottom=7cm

left=15cm

Now since the pentagon is actually dilated from its size to the new bigger size. It means that the equivalent ratio of both the pentagons will be equal.

For smaller pentagon

\rm Equivalent \ Ratio = \dfrac{Bottom}{Left} =\dfrac{x}{7}

For bigger pentagon

\rm Equivalent \ Ratio = \dfrac{Bottom}{Left} =\dfrac{7}{15}

Since both, the ratio is the same

\dfrac{x}{7} =\dfrac{7}{15}

x=\dfrac{49}{15} =3.3\ cm

Thus the pentagon is drawn to scale than its value of x will be x=3.3 cm

How would you describe the shape of the normal distribution?
RUDIKE [14]

The shape of the normal distribution is bell shape and it is also symmetrical from the left and right sides about the origins (mean).

What is a normal distribution?

A normal distribution is a function on some random variables, which represent the set of all those random variables in a symmetrical bell shape about the mean value.

It shows that the probability of occurrence of some data which is distributed over a function is more at or around the mean.

It is also known as probability distribution curve.

The normal distribution has two parameters:

  • Mean
  • Standard deviation

What is the shape of the normal distribution?

The normal distribution curve is at it's peak at the mean value. This shows that the probability of occurrence of the data or value is more concentrated or distributed about the mean. It is also symmetric about the mean. As we more further from the mean, we see that the normal distribution curve gradually decreases showing that the probability of occurrence of the data or the values decreases. The shape that this curve forms is like a bell-shaped. So the shape of normal distribution is bell shape.

Hence, the shape of the normal distribution is bell shape and it is also symmetrical from the left and right sides about the origins (mean).
