Answer:

she bought 70 shares of the $15 shares

she bought 20 shares of the $20 shares

Step-by-step explanation:

this would be solved using simultaneous equation

let a = $15 shares

b = 20 shares

a + b = 90   equation 1

15a + 20b = 1450  equation 2

Multiply  equation 1  by 15

15a + 15b = 1350  equation 3

subtract  equation 3 from  equation 2

5b = 100

b = 20

substitute for b in  equation 1

20 + a = 90

a = 70

Which inequality is equivalent to x-6/x+5≥x+7/x+3?
yawa3891 [41]
To find equivalent inequalities you have to work the inequality given.

The first step is transpose on of sides to have an expression in one side and zero in the other side:

  x - 6        x + 7
--------- ≥  --------
  x + 5       x + 3

=>

  x - 6          x + 7
--------- -  --------   ≥ 0
  x + 5       x + 3

=>

 (x - 6) (x + 3) - (x + 7) (x + 5)
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
          (x + 5) (x + 3)

=>

 x^2 - 3x - 18 - x^2 - 12x - 35
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
         (x + 5) (x + 3)

           15x + 53
-     -------------------   ≥ 0
       (x + 5) (x + 3)

That is an equivalent inequality. Sure you can arrange it to find many other equivalent inequalities. That is why you should include the list of choices. Anyway from this point it should be pretty straigth to arrange the terms until making the equivalent as per the options.

A random sample of eighty-five students in Chicago city high schools takes a course designed to improve SAT scores. Based on the
erica [24]

Answer:

(B) The correct interpretation of this interval is that 90% of the students in the population should have their scores improve by between 72.3 and 91.4 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is the range the true values fall in under a given <em>confidence level</em>.

Confidence level states the probability that a random chosen sample performs the surveyed characteristic in the range of confidence interval. Thus,

90% confidence interval means that there is 90% probability that the statistic (in this case SAT score improvement) of a member of the population falls in the confidence interval.

Lerok [7]
The angle immediately below x makes up the third angle of the isosceles triangle whose base angles are 55°. That third angle and x are "vertical" angles, hence equal. The value of x can be found from the sum of angles of a triangle:
  x + 55° + 55° = 180°
  x = 70°

The appropriate choice is the 2nd one:
  70°

Find the slope of the line.<br><br> A.) 3/2<br> B.) - 2/3<br> C.) - 3/4<br> D.) 4/3
Julli [10]
Option C is your answer. 

It's a negative sloping line which eliminates A and D. Then you just do the whole rise-over-run deal to get the 3/4 part.
