Answer:

8 boxes of tissues

5 bags of cough drops

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to write a system of equations.

x = number of tissue boxes

y = number of cough drop bags

x (number of tissue boxes) + y (number of cough drop bags) = 13 (total number of tissues and cough drops combined.

So, your first equation is

x + y = 13

Then, you need to write the second equation.

(1.69 [cost of 1 tissue box] * [number of tissue boxes]) + (1.19 [cost of one bag of cough drops] * [number of cough drop bags] = 19.47 [total cost of tissues and cough drops]

That's a lot to read, so here's the equation simplified!

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

Now, you have two equations:

x + y = 13

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

I would solve with the substitution method.

the first equation can be changed to x = 13 - y by subtracting y from both sides.

Then, your two equations are:

x = 13 - y

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

Now, you can plug in that value of x into the second equation!

1.69(13 - y) + 1.19y = 19.47

21.97 - 1.69y + 1.19y = 19.47

subtract 21.97 from both sides

-1.69y + 1.19y = -2.5

Add the y values

-0.5y = -2.5

divide both sides by -0.5

so, y equals 5 bags of cough drops

now that you know what y equals, plug it back into your original equation to find x!

x + y = 13

plug in y

x + 5 = 13

x = 8

so, x = 8 boxes of tissues

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!

Triangle WXY is isosceles. ∠YWX and ∠YXW are the base angles. YZ bisects ∠WYX. m∠XYZ = (15x)°. m∠YXZ = (2x + 5)°. What is the me
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

The measure of \angleWYX = 150^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

\triangle WXY is isosceles  and \angle YWX and \angle YXW are base angles.

Isosceles Triangle:

A triangle with two equal sides, and two congruent base angles that means the angles are equal

By the definition, the base angles are equal i.e, m\angle YWX=m\angle YXW

Since, YZ bisects m\angle WYX

Angle Bisector theorem: An angle bisector is a line or ray that divides an angle into two equal angles

then, \angle WYX =2\angle XYZ or

Substitute the value of \angle XYZ=(15x)^{\circ} ;

\angle WYX =2(15x)^{\circ} = (30x)^{\circ}

The sum of measures of these three angles of  triangle WXY is equal to the 180 degree.

In triangle WXY we have;

\angle YXW+\angle WYX+\angle YWX=180^{\circ}

Substitute the value of m\angle YWX=m\angle YXW=(2x+5)^{\circ} and \angle WYX=(30x)^{\circ} in above formula:

2\angle YXW+30x=180^{\circ} or

2\cdot(2x+5)+30x=180^{\circ}

Simplify:

4x+10+30x=180^{\circ}

Combine like terms ;

34x+10^{\circ}=180^{\circ} or

34x=170^{\circ}

Simplify;

x= \frac{170}{34} =5^{\circ}

Substitute the value of x in  \angle WYX;

\angleWYX = (30x)^{\circ} = 30 \cdot 5 = 150^{\circ}

Therefore, the measure of \angleWYX = 150^{\circ}

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The equation of the line of best fit is: y = -2.33x + 591.78

The correlation coefficient is: -0.99

There is a strong negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative correlation is seen in the sign of the correlation coefficient, which is negative.

The correlation is strong because the absolute value of the correlation coefficient (0.99) is near to one
