2 + 5 = 7

7 + 8 = 15

15 +11 = 26

11+3 = 14

26 + 14 = 40

so he has 5 sets

What are the solutions of x2 +6x-6= 10?

ipn [44]

Answer:

x= -8 x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +6x-6= 10

Subtract 10 from each side

x^2 +6x-6-10= 10-10

x^2 +6x-16 = 0

What 2 number multiply to -16 and add to 6

8 * -2 = -16

8 -2 = 6

(x+8) (x-2)=0

Using the zero product property

x+8=0 x-2=0

x= -8 x=2

Joe is considering pursuing an MBA degree. He has applied to two different universities. The acceptance rate for applicants with

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The probability that Joe will be accepted at one and only one university

P(A n B ) = 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data the acceptance rate for applicants with similar qualifications is 25% for University A

P(A) = 25% =0.25

The acceptance rate for applicants with similar qualifications is 40% for University B

P(B) = 40% =0.40

<u>Independent events:</u>

let E and F are said to be independent events then

P(E n F ) = P(E ) P(F)

both universities are independent

The probability that Joe will be accepted at one and only one university

P(A n B ) = P(A) P(B) = 0.25 X 0.40 = 0.1

Marie, Shelia, and Martha bought snacks for a girl's sleepover. They each bought the items shown in the following table at the l

creativ13 [48]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

x is the unit price of a bag of chips.

y is the unit price of liter of pop.

z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

$2x + 2y + z = 9.25$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

Replacing the <u>first equation on the second and the third:</u>

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50$

$x + 2y = 5.25$

$x = 5.25 - 2y$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

$x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12$

$-5x - 3y = -15.75$

$5x + 3y = 15.75$

Since $x = 5.25 - 2y$ :

$5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75$

$-7y = -10.5$

$y = \frac{10.5}{7}$

$y = 1.5$

Then:

$x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25$

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75$

The unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.
