Answer:

First number: 20

Second number: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

First#: x

Second#: y

Constraints:

x + y = 50

1/4x + 2/3y = 25

Isolate variable y:

x + y = 50

-1/4 (x + y = 50 )

-1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

Add equations the two equations to eliminate x:

-1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

1/4x + 2/3y = 25

_________________

5/12y = 12.5

5y = 150

y = 30

Substitution to find x:

x + y = 50

x + 30 = 50

x = 20

This was my very last homework question and i'm stumped.<br> log_4(x+1)-log_4(x)=3

mixas84 [53]

$\log_4(x+1)-\log_4x=3 \qquad(x>0)\\ \log_4\dfrac{x+1}{x}=3\\ \dfrac{x+1}{x}=4^3\\ \dfrac{x+1}{x}=64\\ x+1=64x\\ 63x=1\\ x=\dfrac{1}{63}$

Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 48% use them in meetings or classes. If 8 adult smartphone use

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The probability is 2.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a randomly selected adult uses the telephone in classes is always equal to 0.48.

If x represents the number of adults selected from among the 8 that the telephone uses in classes, then x is a discrete random variable that follows a binomial distribution, with:

p = 0.48

q = 0.52

n = 8

We want to find the probability of x = 5

$P(x) = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} *p ^ n *q ^{n-x}\\\\ P(x = 5) = \frac{8!}{5!(8-5)!} * 0.48 ^ 8 * 0.52 ^ 3\\\\ P(x = 5) = 0.02218$

The probability is 2.2%

Hannah is saving for a trip during the upcoming summer break. She recorded the total amount of money she had in her trip account

EleoNora [17]

D) is correct.

Looking at the graph, it goes through the point (2, 200) and is very near the point (3, 300). This means it increases by nearly 100 every month; this tells us how much she saves each month.
