Let small cups = S

Large cups = L

They bought a total of 8 cups, so S + L = 8

Rewrite as S = 8-L (1st equation)

Then you also have

$3S + $5L = $30 (2nd equation)

Replace the S in the second equation with the first equation:

$3(8-L) + $5L = $30

Simplify:

24 - 3L + 5L = 30

Combine like terms:

24+2L = 30

Subtract 24 from both sides:

2L = 6

Divide both sides by 2:

L = 3

They bought 3 large cups

Since they bought a total of 8 cups, that means they bought 5 small cups ( 8-3=5)

Large = 3 cups, Small = 5 cups

Two cars are traveling down the highway with the same speed. If the first car increases its speed by 1km/hr, and the other car d

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The speed of the cars is $32 \frac{km}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must first have the clear concept that $speed=\frac{distance}{time}$ or $s=\frac{d}{t}$

Our question is the speed of the cars then the variable to clear will be s.

Let's raise the equation for each car taking into account that we have the following data:

Car 1: $s_{1}=s+1$ , $t_{1}=2$ and $d_{1}= d_{2}$

Car 1: $s_{2}=s-10$ , $t_{2}=3$ and $d_{1}= d_{2}$

The two cars travel the same distance so we will raise the distance formula for each car and then match them.

Car 1

$d_{1}=s_{1}*t_{1}$

$d_{1}=(s+1)*2$

$d_{1}=2s+2$

Car 2

$d_{2}=s_{2}*t_{2}$

$d_{2}=(s-10)*3$

$d_{2}=3s.30$

$d_{1}=d_{2}$

$2s+2=3s-30$

$2+30=3s-2s$

$32=s$

The speed of the cars is 32 km/hr

The table below shows the temperature in degrees for eight consecutive days as well as the respective number of ice cream cones

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

We have to find the equation of least squares regression line in order to find the number of ice cream cones that the shopkeeper to sell if the temperature is 106 degrees. We can use excel regression data analysis tool to find the equation of the regression line. The excel output is attached here.

The equation of the least squares regression line is:

$\hat{y}=46.587+5.080x$

Now, if the temperature is 106 degrees, then the number of cones expected to be sold is given below:

$\hat{y}=46.587+5.080 \times 106$

$=585.1 \approx 585$

Therefore, the number of ice cream cones that the shopkeeper would expect to sell if the temperature is 106 degrees is 585.
