Answer:

$59. 85  or rounding, $60   (I AM NOT COMPLETELY SURE)

Step-by-step explanation

I changed the percentage into a decimal (.05) and then multiplied it by the final price (57). After multiplying, I got, $2.85. I then added that to the final price to get, $59.85.

Identify any solutions to the system given below. 2x + y = 5 3y = 15 – 6x (6, –7) (2, 1) (–2, –9) (–4, 13)
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The answer (2, 1), (-4,13), (6,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider 2x+y=5 as equation 1, and 3y=15-6x as equation 2

1. Substituting values x and y with x=2 and y=1 as given by the coordinates (2,1)

Equation 1

2(2)+1=5 therefor it holds

Equation 2

3(1)=15-(6×2) also holds

2. Substituting values x and y with x=6 and y=-7 as given by the coordinates (6,-7)

Equation 1

2(6)+(-7)=5

5=5 holds

Equation 2

3(-7)=15-(6×6)

-21=-21 also holds

3. Substituting values x and y with x=-4 and y=13 as given by the coordinates (-4,13)

Equation 1

2(-4)+13=13-8=5 holds

Equation 2

3(13)=15-(6×-4)=39  also holds

4. Substituting values x and y with x=-2 and y=-9 as given by the coordinates (-2,-9)

Equation 1

2(-2)+(-9)=-4-9=-13≠5 does not hold

Equation 2

3(-9)≠15-(6×-2)

-27≠27 does not hold

The coordinates (2,1), (-4,13) and (6,-7) can be used as solutions to the system given

Angela paints a wall that has an area of 42 2/3 square yards. She uses 1 1/3 gallons of paint. What is Angela's rate of paint co
Rina8888 [55]
Yards= 42  2/3 yd=42 + 2/3 yd=(42*3 + 2)/3 yd=128/3 yd
Gallons=1  1/3 Gallons=1+1/3 gallons=(3*1+1)/3 gallons=4/3 gallons.

Rate=number of yards / number of gallons.
Rate=(128/3 yd) / (4/3 gallons)=32 yd/gallon.

Answer: Angela´s rate=32 yards / gallons

A bag contains a number of marbles of which 35 are blue, 10 are red and the rest are
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Y = 45*p(y) / (1 - p(y))    if I knew what p(y) is, we can find how many yellow marbles there are.   p(y) = probability of choosing yellow.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total marbles =  35 + 10 + yellow

If probability of choosing yellow =p(y) = yellow/Total

p(y) =  Y/(35 + 10 + Y)

Solve for Y,

p(y)*(35 + 10 + Y) = Y

45*p(y) + p(y)*Y = Y

45*p(y) = Y - p(y)*Y

Y = 45*p(y) / (1 - p(y))
