Answer:

<h2>$160</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

For Sadie

initial savings balance= $70

weekly savings = $18

Let S represent the amount of money Sadie has saved

and  t the number of weeks after the beginning of the year

The total amount in savings after t weeks is

S=18t+70-------1

For Jack

initial savings balance= $90

weekly savings = $14

Let J represent the amount of money Jack has saved

and  t the number of weeks after the beginning of the year

The total amount in savings after t weeks is

J=14t+90---------2

Step two

equation 1 and 2 to find t

18t+70=14t+90

18t-14t=90-70

4t=20

divide both sides by 4

t=20/4

t=5 weeks

so after 5 weeks Sadie and Jack will have the same amount of money

For Sadle t=5

S=18(5)+70-------1

S=90+70

S=$160

For Jack t=5

J=14(5)+90---------2

J=70+90

J=160

The two equations above shows that after 5 weeks their savings will be $160

In rectangle KLMN, KM =6x +16 and LN =49. Find the value of X
wolverine [178]
The answer is 5.5

In a rectangle, lengths of diagonals are equal. If you draw the rectangle, you can see that KM and LN are diagonals, so they must be equal:
KM = LN

KM = 6x + 16
LN = 49

6x + 16 = 49
6x = 49 - 16
6x = 33
x = 33/6
x = 5.5

If Levi purchased a total of 50 ride tickets and game tickets at the amusement park and spent $29. If right tickets cost $.75 ea
erica [24]

Answer: he purchased 16 ride tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of ride tickets that he purchased.

Let y represent the number of game tickets that he purchased.

Levi purchased a total of 50 ride tickets and game tickets at the amusement park. It means that

x + y = 50

If ride tickets cost $.75 each and game tickets cost $.50 each and the total amount spent on the tickets is $29, it means that

0.75x + 0.5y = 29- - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.75(50 - y) + 0.5y = 29

37.5 - 0.75y + 0.5y = 29

- 0.75y + 0.5y = 29 - 37.5

- 0.25y = - 8.5

y = - 8.5/-0.25

y = 34

x = 50 - y = 50 - 34

x = 16

Given: (↔AB) ║ (↔CD)
nordsb [41]
1) m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1
y = mx + b
m = 7 - 0/3 - 8
y = -7/5x + 11.2
2) y= -7/5x + 12
(the slope or m stays the same because the two equations are parallel)

What sampling method is used in the following examples. Is the method biased or not?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answers:

  • a) Stratified random sampling, or simply stratified sampling. Each group individually is known as a stratum. The plural is strata. The key here is that each stratum is sampled, though we don't pick everyone from every stratum. We randomly select from each unit to have them represent their unit. Think of it like house of representative members that go to congress. We have members from every state, but  Be sure not to mix this up with cluster sampling. Cluster sampling is where we break the population into groups or clusters, then we randomly select a few clusters in which every individual from those clusters is part of the sample.
  • b) Simple random sampling (SRS). This is exactly what it sounds like. We're randomly generating numbers to help determine who gets selected. Think of it like a lottery. A computer is useful to make sure this process is quick, efficient and unbiased as possible. Though numbers in a box or a hat work just as well.

For each of the methods mentioned, they aren't biased since they have randomness built into their processes.
