Answer:

D. (10, 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following system:

\frac{1}{2}x+y=20

x+4y=70

And we want to solve it (find the values of x and y).

Let's use substitution for this problem, where we will isolate one variable on one side, while the other side contains an expression with the other variable. Then, we use the expression to solve for the variable that the expression contains, then use the value of that variable to solve for the aforementioned isolated variable.

Subtract \frac{1}{2}x from both sides in the first equation

y=20-\frac{1}{2}x

Now substitute 20-\frac{1}{2}x as y in x+4y=70

x+4(20-\frac{1}{2}x)=70

Do the distributive property

x+80-2x=70

Combine like terms on the left

-x+80=70

Subtract 80 from both sides

-x=-10

Multiply both sides by -1

x=10

We found the value of x. Now let's use that value to find what y is

Since we know that y=20-\frac{1}{2}x and x=10, we can substitute 10 as the value of x to solve for y

In that case,

y=20-\frac{1}{2}(10)

Multiply

y=20-5

Subtract

y=15

The answer is x=10, y=15, or as a point, <u>(10, 15), aka D</u>

Hope this helps!

How many faces does the solid made from the net below have? A. 7B. 8C. 12D. 18
Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. 8

Explanation:

The figure forms a septagon.

The hexagons form the base, and the rectangles attached to them form the sides.

Therefore, in total the solid has two hexagons as sides and 6 rectangles connecting the hexagon to the base hexagon. Hence, in total the solid has

2 + 6 = 8 faces.

Consider a simple example of moral hazard. Suppose that Woodrow goes into a casino to make one bet a day. The casino is very bas
Neko [114]

Answer:

The expected value of the safe bet equal $0

Step-by-step explanation:

If  

S=\left\{s_1,s_2,...,s_n\right\}

is a finite numeric sample space and

P(X=s_k)=p_k for k=1, 2,..., n

is its probability distribution, then the expected value of the distribution is defined as

E(X)=s_1P(X=s_1)+s_2P(X=s_2)+...+s_nP(X=s_n)X)

What is the expected value of the safe bet?

In the safe bet we have only two possible outcomes: head or tail. Woodrow wins $100 with head and “wins” $-100 with tail So the sample space of incomes in one bet is

S = {100,-100}

Since the coin is supposed to be fair,  

P(X=100)=0.5

P(X=-100)=0.5

and the expected value is

E(X) = 100*0.5 - 100*0.5 = 0
