Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, let's make a system of equations:

  • y+59=x,x+y=959 (y = dryer, x = washer)

2. (Solving)

Solve y + 59 = x for y:

  • y + 59 = x
  • y + 59-59=x-59 (Subtract 59 from both sides)
  • y = x-59

Substitute x - 59 for y in x + y = 959

  • x + y = 959
  • x+x-59=959
  • 2x - 59 = 959
  • 2x - 59 + 59 = 959 + 59 (Add 59 to both sides)
  • 2x = 1018
  • \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{1018}{2} (divide both sides by 2)
  • x = 509

Substitute 509 for x in y = x - 59

  • y = x - 59
  • y = 509-59
  • y = 450

Therefore, the dryer costs $450. (The washer costs $509).

Answer:

A dryer costs $450.

A washer costs $509.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

"washer" = x

"dryer" = y

Set the equations:

x + y = 959

x = y + 59

First, plug in y + 59 for x in the first equation for x:

x + y = 959

(y + 59) + y = 959

Simplify, combine like terms:

y + y + 59 = 959

2y + 59 = 959

Next, isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis, Exponents (& Roots), Multiplications, Divisions, Additions, Subtractions.

First, subtract 59 from both sides of the equation:

2y + 59 (-59) = 959 (-59)

2y = 959 - 59

2y = 900

Next, divide 2 from both sides of the equation:

(2y)/2 = (900)/2

y = 900/2

y = 450

Next, plug in 450 for y in one of the equations:

x = y + 59

x = (450) + 59

x = 509

Check:

x + y = 959

450 + 509 = 959

959 = 959 (True).

Answer:

457,909

Step-by-step explanation:

-3358 from 461,267 and it gaves you 457,909

so 457,909 + 3358 = 461,267

The correlation analysis assumes that the measurements have a bivariate normal distribution in the population. Select all of the
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A. True

B. True

C. False

D. False

E. False

F. False

G. True

Step-by-step explanation:

Select all of the features that define a bivariate normal distribution.

<em>(this means that we select only those that are properties of the bivariate normal distribution)</em>

A. Bell-shaped probability distribution in two dimensions rather than one

<em>TRUE  because any combination of the two is still normal Z(x,y)=aX+bY</em>

B. A relationship between X and Y that is not linear

<em>TRUE The contours of the distribution are ellipses.</em>

C. The presence of outliers

<em>FALSE possible, but not always.</em>

D. Either X or Y has a decidedly skewed distribution

<em>FALSE normal distributions are symmetric</em>

E. A relationship between X and Y that is linear

<em>FALSE see answer to B</em>

F. A cloud of points that is funnel shaped (wider at one end than the other)

<em>FALSE normal distributions are symmetric</em>

G. The frequency distributions of X andY separately are normal

TRUE For example, in <em>Z(x,y)=aX+bY, putting a or b=0 means that X and Y separately are normal.</em>

How do you find the total amount given the percentage of a partial amount
Kay [80]

The whole value can be found by using a phenomenon known as proportion

What is percentage?

A figure or ratio stated as a fraction of 100 is called a percentage. Although the abbreviations "pct.", "pct.", and occasionally "pc" are also used, the percent symbol, "%," is frequently used to indicate it. A % is a number without dimensions and without a measurement system.

Now we are given a percent p of a value let us say x and that value be v

We have to find the initial value let us say that value to be 'P'

To find that we use proportion

That is ratio of value to their respective percentage will be equal

Hence we will have

P/100 = v/ x

P= (v/x)*100

Hence we get the initial value

What number plus 2 less than 3 times the number equals 14
Afina-wow [57]

Obviously this will be a negative number

-2 - 14 = 5x - 3x

 

-16 = 2x

x = %28-16%29%2F2

x = -8 is the number

:

:

Check solution in the original statement: x=-8

3(-8) - 2 = 5(-8) + 14

-24 - 2 = -40 + 14

-26 = -26
