Answer:

0.0618.

Step-by-step explanation:

14-18= -4

-4/2.6= -1.538

Use the Z-table to find the proportion that aligns with 1.54 (round up because of the 0.008)

The intersection between 1.5 and 0.04 will be 0.0618.

Does the system have one solution, no solution, or infinitely many? Use your substitution to justify your answer

Taya2010 [7]

Answer: It has one solution. The solution is (x,y) = (-4,-3)

Add up the equations doing so straight down

x + -x = 0x = 0 so the x terms go away

2y + 2y = 4y

-10 + (-2) = -12

We end up with 4y = -12 so y = -3 after you divide both sides by 4. Use this y value to find the value of x

x+2y = -10

x + 2(-3) = -10

x - 6 = -10

x = -10+6

x = -4

The single solution is (x,y) = (-4,-3)

As a check, plug this solution into each equation to see if you get a true statement or not. Let's do so with the first equation

x+2y = -10

-4 + 2(-3) = -10

-4 - 6 = -10

-10 = -10 .... true

and then the second equation

-x+2y = -2

-(-4) + 2(-3) = -2

4 - 6 = -2

-2 = -2 .... true

both equations are true, so the solution is confirmed

SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!!!

Oliga [24]

Answer:

x = 2 1/3

y = 14 / (2 1/3) = 14 / (7/3) = 14*3/7 = 42/7 = 6

y = 6

x = 4 1/5

y = 14 / (4 1/5) = 14 / (21/5) = 14*5/21 = 70/21 = 3 7/21 = 3 1/3

y = 3 1/3

x = 7/6

y = 14 / (7/6) = 14*6 / 7 = 12

y = 12

Connor is going to see a movie and is taking his 4 kids. Each movie ticket costs $13 and there are an assortment of snacks avail

EleoNora [17]

If Connor buys 3 snacks at 3 dollars each for himself and his 3 children, the net cost (including movie tickets) would be 88 dollars.

If he buys x amount of snacks, his cost will be determined by C=52+3x or C=52+3*x (both are equivalent, but not everyone knows every way to represent multiplication)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of the snacks:

Cost = Price*NumberOfSnacks, or C=p*n, or C=pn

To find the unit cost of the snack, find the price, the p value, which is 3 dollars.

Then, find the total number of snacks that will be bought. Since each person receives an equal number of snacks, 3 per person, and there are 4 people (himself and his 3 children), we can multiply 3*4 to find the n value, which is now known to be 12.

C=3*12=36. Add to the 13 dollar per person charge for tickets (52 dollars for 4 people), and you get 88 dollars.

To find the cost if he buys x amount of snacks for himself and his 3 children (assumed to be "everyone"), all costs but the n value are to be the same, creating this equation:

C=52+3x

In this context, 52 is the cost of movie tickets, 3 is the cost of the snacks, and x is the total number of snacks bought. C represents total cost.

A certain cold remedy has an 88% rate of success of reducing symptoms within 24 hours. Find the probability that in a random sam

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Success rate of the cold remedy = 88%

The number of people who took the remedy = 45

Now, 88% of 45 = $\frac{88}{100} \times 45 = 39.6$

and 39.6 ≈ 40

So, out of 45 people, the remedy worked on total 40 people.

Now, let E: Event of people being cured by cold remedy

Favorable outcomes = 40

$\textrm{Probability of Event E} = \frac{\textrm{Total number of favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Total outcomes}}$

or, $\textrm{Probability of people getting cured} = \frac{\textrm{40}}{\textrm{45}}$ = $\frac{8}{9}$

Hence, the probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.

Help please with this question

Answer:

They lose about 2.79% in purchasing power.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you're dealing with purchasing power and inflation, you need to carefully define what the reference is for any changes you might be talking about. Here, we take <em>purchasing power at the beginning of the year</em> as the reference. Since we don't know when the 6% year occurred relative to the year in which the saving balance was $200,000, we choose to deal primarily with percentages, rather than dollar amounts.

Each day, the account value is multiplied by (1 + 0.03/365), so at the end of the year the value is multiplied by about

... (1 +0.03/365)^365 ≈ 1.03045326

Something that had a cost of 1 at the beginning of the year will have a cost of 1.06 at the end of the year. A savings account value of 1 at the beginning of the year would purchase one whole item. At the end of the year, the value of the savings account will purchase ...

... 1.03045326 / 1.06 ≈ 0.9721 . . . items

That is, the loss of purchasing power is about ...

... 1 - 0.9721 = 2.79%

_____

If the account value is $200,000 at the beginning of the year in question, then the purchasing power <em>normalized to what it was at the beginning of the year</em> is now $194,425.14, about $5,574.85 less.
