A flow proof is the correct answer.
Answer:
Sam initially made 45 bread rolls
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = total number of bread rolls made by Sam. He gives 2/5 of the bread to his neighbor. This means he gave 2/5 × x =
2x/5 bread rolls to his neighbor.
The remainder would be x - 2x/5 =3x/5
He gave 4/9 of the remainder to his cousin = 4/9 ×3x/5=12x/45
=4x/15
He has 15 bread rolls left
Total number of bread rolls = what he has left + what he gave his cousin + what he gave his neighbor
x = 15 + 4x/15 + 2x/5
Taking LCM of 15 and cross multiplying
15x= 225+4x + 6x
15x = 225 +10x
15x-10x = 225
5x = 225
x = 225/5 =45
Sam initially made 45 bread rolls
You might have made an error the first time you solved for x. I got x = -0.5.
When you have your log base 4, the way you cancel that out is by making 4 the base on both sides, so you get 4^(log4) to reduce to 1, and you're left with:
2x + 3 = 4^(1/2) ... Simplify
2x + 3 = 2
2x = -1
x = -1/2
If you plug that back in, everything checks out. Maybe double check your use of logarithm/exponent properties?
Answer:
Option C) The symbol y represents the predicted value of price.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
We find a regression equation with x representing the ratings and y representing price.
The equation has a slope of 130 and a y-intercept of 350.
Comparing with the slope intercept form:

Thus, we can write the equation as:

Here, y is the predicted variable that is the price, c is the price of hotel when a rating of 0 is given.
Thus, symbol y represents:
C) The symbol y represents the predicted value of price.
