Marlene went shopping and bought a bunch of candy for her swim team. She bought packs of Skittles for $1.50 each and packs of M&

amp;Ms for $2 each. She spent a total of $39 and bought 24 items. How many of each item did she buy?

Answer:

18 Skittles

6 M&Ms

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable x = number of skittles

Variable y = number of M&Ms

1.50x + 2y = 39

x + y = 24

In the second equation, isolate a variable:

x = 24 - y

Substitute the value of x for 24 - y in the first equation:

1.50(24 - y) + 2y = 39

Use distributive property

36 - 1.5y + 2y = 39

Combine like terms

36 + 0.5y = 39

Isolate variable y:

0.5y = 3

y = 6

Substitute the value of y for 6 in the second equation:

x + 6 = 24

Isolate variable x:

x = 18

Plug these values into any equation of your choice to see if these values are correct (I'll do both equations just to prove it):

1.50(18) + 2(6) = 39

27 + 12 = 39

39 = 39

Correct

x + y = 24

18 + 6 = 24

24 = 24

Correct

What is the equation of the trend line?<br> Enter your answers in the boxes.<br><br> K = _J +_
MrRissso [65]
The y-intercept of the trend line is (0,28).  The slope of this line is
         28-0
m = --------- = 2
         14-0

Thus, the equation of the trend line, in variables K and J, is

K = 2J + 28

Answer:

a reflection over the x-axis and then a 90 degree clockwise rotation about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets suppose triangle JKL has the vertices on the points as follows:

J: (-1,0)

K: (0,0)

L: (0,1)

This gives us a triangle in the second quadrant with the 90 degrees corner on the origin. It says that this is then transformed by performing a 90 degree clockwise rotation about the origin and then a reflection over the y-axis. If we rotate it 90 degrees clockwise we end up with:

J: (0,1) , K: (0,0), L: (1,0)

Then we reflect it across the y-axis and get:

J: (0,1), K:(0,0), L: (-1,0)


Now we go through each answer and look for the one that ends up in the second quadrant;

If we do a reflection over the y-axis and then a 90 degree clockwise rotation about the origin we end up in the fourth quadrant.

If we do a reflection over the x-axis and then a 90 degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin we also end up in the fourth quadrant.

If we do a reflection over the x-axis and then a reflection over the y-axis we also end up in the fourth quadrant.

The third answer is the only one that yields a transformation which leads back to the original position.

A small manufacturing firm has 250 employees. Fifty have been employed for less than 5 years and 125 have been with the company
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a small manufacturing firm has 250 employees. Fifty have been employed for less than 5 years and 125 have been with the company for over 10 years. So remaining 75 are between 5 and 10 years.

Suppose that one employee is selected at random from a list of the employees

A) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm less than 5 years = \frac{50}{250 } \\= 0.20

B) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm between 5 and 10 years

= \frac{75}{250 } \\= 0.30

C) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm more than 10 years

= \frac{125}{250} =0.50

a) P(A) = 0.2

P(C) = 0.5

P(A or B) = 0.2+0.3 = 0.5

P(A and C) = 0 (since A and C are disjoint)
