Answer:

About 7 miles a day?

Step-by-step explanation:

53.2-10= 43.2

43.2 divided by 6 is about 7.6. I’m just in middle school though :)

Two car washes charge a basic fee plus a fee based on the number of extras that

mezya [45]

Answer:

a. The first car wash charges more for the basic fee

b. 6 extras must be chosen for the total cost to be the same

Explanation:

The complete question is shown in the attached diagram

The general form of the linear equation is:

y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

The y-intercept represents the initial value which, in the given problem, is the basic fee

For the first car wash, we are given the equation:

y₁ = x + 9

Now, we will start by getting the equation for the second car wash:

1- getting the slope:

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{12-9}{4-2}=1.5$

The equation now is: y = 1.5x+c

2- getting the y-intercept:

To get the y-intercept, we will simply choose a point, substitute with it in the equation from 1 and solve for c. I will use point (2,9)

y = 1.5 x + c

9 = 1.5 (2) + c ............> c = 6

The equation for the second car wash is:

y₂ = 1.5x + 6

Part 1:

As mentioned above, the y-intercept represents the basic fee

For the first car wash:

y₁ = x + 9 ................> The basic fee is $9

For the second car wash:

y₂ = 1.5x + 6 ..............> The basic fee is $6

It is clear that the basic fee for the first car wash charges more for the basic fee

Part 2:

In both equations, x represents the number of extras. We want the total cost to be the same. So, we will simply equate y₁ and y₂ and solve for x

x + 9 = 1.5x + 6

1.5x - x = 9 - 6

0.5x = 3

x = 6

Let's verify:

For x = 6:

y₁ = x + 9 = 6 + 9 = $15

y₂ = 1.5x + 6 = 1.5(6) + 6 = $15

Total cost is the same. This means that 6 extras must be chosen for the total cost to be the same

Hope this helps :)

HELP PLEASE THANK YOU! :) 50 POINTS !!!!!!!1

Answer: 0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C is the event of drinking coffee, T is the event of drinking tea and M is the event of drinking milk.

Thus, when we make the Venn diagram of the given situation according to the given information,

Total number of people = 50

Number of people who like coffee, tea and milk = 19

Number of people who like coffee, tea but not milk = 16

Number of people who like coffee, milk but not tea = 2

Number of people who like tea, milk but not coffee = 5

Thus, the number of people who like tea only = Total people - (people who like coffee, tea but not milk + people who like coffee, tea and milk + the one who only like tea and milk but not coffee)

= 50 - ( 16 + 19 + 5) = 50 - 46 = 4

Thus, Total number of the person who like milk = 16 + 19 + 5 + 4 = 44

⇒ Probability that this person likes tea = $\frac{\text{ Total person who like to drink milk}}{\text{ Total number of people}}$ = $\frac{44}{50} = 0.88$
