Answer:

2) -5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{-7n}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

cross-multiply to get:

10 = -14n

-10/14 = n

n = -5/7 (simplified)

Step-by-step explanation:

again, 2 unknowns.

x = number of 2- points baskets

y = number of 3- points baskets

we know they hit the basket 37 times in a so far unknown mixture of 2-point and 3- point throws.

x + y = 37

which gives us e.g.

x = 37 - y

and we know that with this unknown mixture they scored 80 points.

so,

2x + 3y = 80

as every successful 2-points throw scores 2 points, and every successful 3-points throw scores 3 points.

so, again our 2 equations :

x = 37 - y

2x + 3y = 80

remember, we prepared the first equation so that it gives us already an identity expressing one variable by the other. and that we use in the second equation :

2×(37 - y) + 3y = 80

74 - 2y + 3y = 80

74 + y = 80

y = 6

and from

x = 37 - y

we get

x = 37 - 6 = 31

so, they had 31 2-points throws and 6 3-points throws.

Answer:

The interpretation of that same problem is listed throughout the section below on explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Interpretation:

Researchers seem to be confident with 95% that the sample selection standard error seems to be + as well as - 4 percent respectively.
This same margin of sampling error would then decrease from either the mean or average value by four percentage points smaller or even larger, it describes the survey method.

So that the above is the right answer.

Answer:

7. D

8. A

9. D

10. B

11 A) $640 = 0.8j$

11 B) $\frac{0.8j}{1.15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Emmet work for "m" minutes

Since, Cal worked 4times as this, we can say Cal worked for "4m" minutes

Now, the total time (CAL + EMMET) is 720, so we SUM UP their individual times' expression and equate to 720. Shown below:

4m + m = 720

This is Answer choice D

Let s be the price of each shirt

Each shirt costs "s" each, so 4 shirts cost "4s" in total.

4 shirts costs 60 AFTER 10 dollar discount, so before discount, it was:

60 + 10 = 70 dollars

Hence, 4 shirts cost 70 dollars BEFORE discount, so we can say:

4s = 70

But none of the choices are this, we need to simply manipulate this equation to get our answer (from choices).

How did we get 70? We added 60 and 10. So we can put "60" on the right hand side and "-10" on the left hand side to get:

4s - 10 = 60

This is ultimatley 4s = 70

So the correct answer choice is A

Let Tony's age be "y"

We know grandmother is "3 years MORE than 6 times TONY (y)", thus we can write:

Grandmother is "6y + 3"

Total sum of them both is 87. Thus we can SUM both these expressions and equate to 87. Thus,

y + 6y + 3 = 87

D is the correct choice.

10.

THe total length is "f"

Each piece cut is 3/4

So the number of pieces is the total by each piece, so that is

$\frac{f}{\frac{3}{4}}$

All these "number of pieces" makes 6 shelves (since he used all), so we equate this expression to "6". Now we have:

$\frac{f}{\frac{3}{4}}=6$

That is answer choice B

11 A)

Let Jocelyn's computer's price be "j",

Adrian's is 640, which is 20% LESS THAN Jocelyn's (j), so we can say:

640 is 20% less than "j"

"20% less than j" would be:

j - 0.2j = 0.8j

Now, we can write:

640 = 0.8j

11 B)

We can say:

Adrian is 15% more than Corbin

A = 0.15C + C

A = 1.15C

[note: let adrian's computer price be A and Corbin's computer price be C]

Also we know

0.8j = Adrian

We can put this in to get:

A = 1.15C

C = A/1.15

C = 0.8j/1.15

THis is an expression for Corbin's computer price in terms of j:

$\frac{0.8j}{1.15}$
