Answer:

Chantal and Trisha will have both traveled 105 miles in 20 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

y is distance in miles, x is time in hours.

The two equations are:

y = \frac{20}{x} + 45

y = \frac{35}{x}

Set them equal to each other and solve for x:

\frac{35}{x} = \frac{20}{x} + 45

\frac{35}{x} - \frac{20}{x} = 45

\frac{35-20}{x} = 45

\frac{15}{x} = 45

x = \frac{15}{45} = \frac{1}{3} hours = 20 minutes

Plug that back into the equations to confirm this x gives the same y:

y = \frac{20}{1/3} + 45 = 105 miles

y = \frac{35}{1/3} = 105 miles

The null and alternative hypotheses are given. Determine whether the hypothesis test is​ left-tailed, right-tailed, or​ two-tail
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:  The parametric is being tested here is "p" (population proportion).

The hypothesis test is​ left-tailed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The null and alternative hypotheses are

H_0:\ p=0.2\\\\H_1:\ p

The parametric is being tested here is "p", where p stands for population proportion.

Also, the type of test depends on the alternative hypotheses.

Since the alternative hypotheses is left-tailed, so the hypothesis test is​ left-tailed.

1. This must be greater than or equal to 0 (there can't be any negatives!)
8 - .5t ≥ 0.
8 ≥ .5t 
t ≤ 16
D. 

2. 4(2x-1) = 2x + 35
8x - 4 = 2x + 35
6x = 39
x = 6.5
H.

3. c = .8(x-15) = .8x-12
A.

4. m = number of marble cupcakes
s = number of strawberry shortcake cupcakes

6m + 8.5s = 391
m = 1/2s
6(.5s)+8.5s = 391
11.5s = 391
s = 34
m = 17
F.

5. B
6. Use substitution
2x + 3x = 10
5x = 10
x = 2

7.  (sorry I'm not sure!)

8. G
9. L = number of balls
B = number of bats
L + B = 100
B = 100 - L
4.5L+20B = 822
4.5L + 20(100-L) = 822
4.5L -20L + 2000 = 822
1178 = 15.5L
L = 76

Richard Lens receives a 3.5% commission for selling cleaning supplies. What is his commission on sales of $122,591?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$4,290.69

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- To find the commission, just convert the percentage into a decimal (divide by 100) and multiply it by the sales.

3.5% = 0.035

122,591 x 0.035 = <em>$4,290.69</em>
