hing store where each shirt costs $15.00. Molly thinks that she can buy 8 shirts, but Maddie says that Molly can buy 7 shirts. The equations they used to model the problem are listed below.
Solve each equation algebraically, justify your steps, and determine who is correct and why.

Molly's equation
15x + 10 = 100

Maddie's equation
15x - 10 = 100

     -10       -10

15x=90

/15    /15

x=6

Maddie's equation

15x - 10 = 100

     +10      +10

15x=110

/15     /15

x=7 1/3

MADDIE IS RIGHT

this is because she said 7 ans=d you cannot buy 1/3 of a shirt.

It takes 14 electricians 18 days to wire a new housing subdivision. How many days would it take 24 electricians to do the same j
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer = 21/2 days or 10 and 1/2 days

It takes 14 electricians 18 days to wire a new housing subdivision.  

One  electrician take more time to wire a new housing subdivision.

So one electrician take 14 x 18 days to complete the job.

Therefore 24 electricians take  less time to complete the job.

Number of days taken by 24 electricians to wire a new housing subdivision.= (14 x 18 )/24=21/2 days


Therefor 24 electricians take (14 x 18 )/24=21/2 days

Someone help me with this algebra question please 100% correct only
STALIN [3.7K]
Let x represent the width. Since the length is 3 more than 4 times the width, that would be equal to 3+4x. The perimeter is the sum of all sides, so that would be x+x+3+4x+3+4=86. Combine like terms, which would result in 10x+6=86. Subtract 6 from both sides giving you 10x=80. Divide by 10 giving you x=8. That means that the width is 8. The length is 3+4x. Substitute 8 for x giving you 3+4(8). Multiply, giving you 3+32, then add, which would give you 35.  35 is the length.

A. Create a set of 5 points that are very close together and record the standard deviation. Next, add a sixth point that is far
defon

Answer: The addition of the new point alters the previous standard deviation greatly

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial five points be : 2 3 4 5 and 6. In order to calculate the standard deviation for this data, we will need to calculate the mean first.

Mean = summation of scores/number of scores.

The mean is therefore: (2+3+4+5+6)/5 = 20/5 = 4.

We'll also need the sum of the squares of the deviations of the mean from all the scores.

Since mean = 4, deviation of the mean from the score "2" = score(2) - mean (4)

For score 3, it is -1

For 4, it's 0

For 5 it's 1

For 6 it's 2.

The squares for -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 respectively will be 4, 1 , 0, 1, 4. Summing them up we have 10 i.e (4+1+0+1+4=10).

Calculating the standard deviation, we apply the formula:

√(summation of (x - deviation of mean)^2)/N

Where N means the number of scores.

The standard deviation = √(10/5) = 1.4142

If we add another score or point that is far away from the original points, say 40, what happens to the standard deviation. Let's calculate to find out.

i.e we now have scores: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 40

We calculate by undergoing same steps.

Firstly mean. The new mean = (2+3+4+5+6+40)/6 = 60/6 = 10.

The mean deviations for the scores : 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 40 are -8, -7, -6, -5, -4 and 30 respectively. The squares of these deviations are also 64, 49, 36, 25, 16 and 900 respectively as well. Their sum will then be 1090. i.e. (64+49+36+25+16+900 = 1090).

The new standard deviation is then=

√(1090/6)

= √181.67

= 13.478.

It's clear that the addition of a point that's far away from the original points greatly alters the size of the standard deviation as seen /witnessed in this particular instance where the standard deviation rises from 1.412 to 13.478
