x + y = 3.36 --> the boys are splitting $3.36
x = 3y - .12 --> one boy received $.12 less than 3 times as much as the other
--> substitute the second equation for the x in the first equation
(3y - .12) + y = 3.36 --> combine like terms
4y - .12 = 3.36 --> add .12 to both sides of the equation
4y = 3.48 --> divide both sides by 4
y = .87
the other boy gets $0.87
substitute into x = 3y - 12
x = 3(.87) - .12
x = 2.61 - .12
x = 2.49
the first boy gets $2.49
Answer:
A multiple regression equation for this model can be expressed as:

Step-by-step explanation:
To model this problem as a multiple regression equation, we need to define which are the independent and dependent variables.
The dependent variable is the one which we want to predict for any set of independent variables values. This is the case of the driver's automotive insurance monthly premiums.
The driver's automotive insurance monthly premiums is the dependent variable "y".
The independent variables are the ones that explain the dependent variable variation. In this case there are: number of miles driven per week (x1); the age of the car, in years (x2); and the number of accidents in which the driver has been involved in the past 5 years (x3).
Then, a multiple regression equation for this model can be expressed as:

200 days because there are 40 shirts and a total of 5 other options, so multiply 40 by 5 which equals 200.
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2/3 x + 5; y = 7
7 = (2/3)x + 5
2 = (2/3)x
x = 2 * 3/2
x = 3
