Answer:

  20 rands/kg

  130,000 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilibrium quantity and price are the solution to the system of equations ...

  p = 120 -0.7q

  p = 3 + 0.2q

Setting these equal, we get ...

  0.2q +3 = p = -0.7q +120

  0.9q = 117 . . . . . . . add 0.7q-3 to both sides

  q = 117/0.9 = 130

  p = 3 +0.2·130 = 29

The equilibrium price of maize meal is 29 rands per kg; the market equilibrium quantity is 130,000 kg.

Probability is a measure of how likely an event is to occur. Match the probabilities below with each statement. 0, 0.01, 0.3, 0.
Andrews [41]

Answer: a) 0 and 0.01 b) 0.99 and 1 c) 0.3 d) 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood that an event will occur. Probability values always lies between 0 and 1 0<P<1

A sure event occurs when the probability is 1 or values pretty close to 1 while probability of an impossible event is 0 or values close to 0. Looking at the given probability values, we can conclude that!

a) 0 and 0.01 = The event is impossible, it would never occur.

b) 0.99 and 1 - The event is certain, it would always occur.

c) 0.3 - The event is highly unlikely, but it will occur once in a while.

d) 0.6 - The event will occur more often than not.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 36m. If its length is increased by 1m and the width is increased by 2m, its area will increase b
maw [93]

Answer:

  80 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information lets you write two equations involving length (x) and width (y).

  • 2(x +y) = 36 . . . . the perimeter is 36 m
  • (x+1)(y+2) -xy = 30 . . . . increasing the length and width increases area

The second of these equations simplifies to another linear equation, giving a system of linear equations easily solved.

  xy +y +2x + 2 -xy = 30

  2x +y = 28 . . . . . . . subtract 2

Dividing the first equation by 2 gives

  x +y = 18

and subtracting this from the above equation gives ...

  (2x +y) -(x +y) = 28 -18

  x = 10

Then

  y = 18 -10 = 8

The area of the original rectangle is xy = 10·8 = 80 m^2.

Ronch [10]

The next step in the series will be Option B

<h3>What is a Series ?</h3>

A series is the sequence of object in pattern.

From the given figure it can be seen that the red and blue colour semicircle are shifting alternately , and the number series is increasing by 1

Therefore the next step is red on the right side , blue on the left side and no. 4 written on blue

Therefore Option B is the right answer.
