Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours Nick does the job alone to be x - 3 hours

Hence, in 1 hour, Nick has done 1/x - 3

Together they complete the job in 9 hours

Hence, let's represent the job as 1

9/x + 9/x - 3 = 1

Multiply through by (x)(x-3)

9(x- 3) + 9(x) = 1

9x - 27 + 9x = (x)(x-3)

-27 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x +27 = 0

Cost of each bags of flour = $2.50

Cost of each bags of butter = $3.75

Solution:

Let f be the bags of flour and b be the pounds of butter.

Cost of 20 bags of flour 16 pound of butter = 110

⇒ 20f + 16b = 110 -------------------- (1)

Cost of 30 bags of flour 12 pound of butter = 120

⇒ 30f + 12b = 120  -------------------- (2)

Equation (1) and (2) are the system of equations.

(2) ⇒ 30f + 12b = 120

Subtract 30f from both sides.

⇒ 12b = 120 – 30f

Divide by 12 on both sides.

$\Rightarrow b =\frac{120-30f}{12}  -------------------- (3)

Substitute (3) in (1).

$20f+16\left(\frac{120-30f}{12}\right)=110

$20f+4\left(\frac{120-30f}{3}\right)=110

$20f+4(40-10f)=110

$20f+160-40f=110

Subtract 160 from both sides.

$-20f=-50

Divide by –20, we get

$f=\frac{5}{2}

f = 2.50

Substitute f = 2.5 in equation (3), we get

$\Rightarrow b =\frac{120-30(2.50)}{12}

$b=\frac{15}{4}

b = 3.75

Cost of each bags of flour = $2.50

Cost of each bags of butter = $3.75

The function f is defined by f(x)=5x+k, where k is a constant. Find k, if the value of f at x=2 is equal to 14.
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

k = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=5x+k

Let x =2

f(2) = 5*2 +k

f(2) = 10+k

We know f(2) = 14

14 = 10+k

Subtract 10 from each side

14-10 = 10+k-10

4 =k

At a production process, the produced items are tested for defects. A defective unit is classified as such with probability 0.9,
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

We use Baye's theorem:  P(A)P(B|A) = P(B)P(A|B)

with (A) being defective and

(B) marked as defective

we have to find P(B) = P(A).P(B|A) + P(¬A)P(B|¬A). .......eq(2)

Since  P(A) = 0.1 and P(B|A)=0.9,

P(¬A) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

and

P(B|A¬) = 1 - P(¬B|¬A) = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

put these values in eq(2)

P(B) = (0.1 × 0.9) + (0.9 × 0.15)

       = 0.225 put this in eq(1) and solve for P(B)

P(B) = 0.4

The Sunday school teacher gave 5 Friend's Day invations to each of her 19 students to give to their friends. She had 5 left over
lesya [120]
I'm pretty sure its 100 because if she gave each of her 19 students 5 invitations that equals 95. (19×5=95) And She had 5 leftover equals 100. (95+5=100)
