Answer:

You sold 15 cookies and 12 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

So you're given that 1 cookie is sold for $3 and 1 muffin is sold for $7

You're also given that in total you made $129, and sold 27 items

Let's make equations from that, letting c stand for amount of cookies and m for amount of muffins.

  • 3c + 7m = 129 (equation for amount of money made)
  • c + m = 27 (equation for amount of items sold)

Now we can use the second equation to find m:

c + m = 27

m = 27 - c

Not we can substitute m into the first equation to find c:

3c + 7m = 129                  

3c + 7(27-c) = 129            [substitute m for (27-c)]

3c + 189 -7c = 129           [distribute 7 into (27-c)]

-4c + 189 = 129                [combine like terms]

-4c = -60                          [subtract 189 from both sides]

c = 15                               [divide both sides by -4]

Now we can substitute c into the second equation to find m:

c + m = 27

15 + m = 27

m = 12

You sold 15 cookies and 12 muffins.

c - cookies
m - muffins

c + m = 27

3c + 7m = 129

I don’t know how to explain how to do efficiently but I just plugged in numbers until it worked:

3(15) + 7(12) = 129

45 + 84 = 129

What is the perimeter of a square with side length (2x-3)?
Elis [28]

Answer:

Perimeter = 8x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is:

p = 4(side length)

on this case:

p = 4(2x-3)

p = 4*2x + 4*-3

p = 8x - 12

The number of defective units in a production run of 850 circuit boards are normally distributed with 21 defective units and 3 d
Katen [24]

Answer:

82%

Step-by-step explanation:

We let the random variable X denote the number of defective units in the production run. Therefore, X is normally distributed with a mean of 21 defective units and a standard deviation of 3 defective units.

We are required to find the probability, P(17 < X < 25), that the number of defective units in the production run is between 17 and 25.

This can be carried out easily in stat-crunch;

In stat crunch, click Stat then Calculators and select Normal

In the pop-up window that appears click Between

Input the value of the mean as 21 and that of the standard deviation as 3

Then input the values 17 and 25

click compute

Stat-Crunch returns a probability of approximately 82%
