Answer:

Large candle) $6.25

Small candle) $3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of a large candle and y be the cost of a small candle.

Because Lexi bought two large candles and five small candles for $30, the first equation is 2x+5y=30.

Because Carl bought one large candle and three small candles for $16.75, the second equation is x+3y=16.75

We have two equations:

2x+5y=30 and x+3y=16.75

   1) Multiply both sides of x+3y=16.75 by 2 to get 2x+6y=33.5

   2) Subract the two equations

       2x+6y=33.5

      - 2x+5y=30

      =        y=3.5

   3) Plug y=3.5 into one of the equations.

       2x+5(3.5)=30

       2x+17.5=30

       2x=12.5

         x=6.25

   4) Check the work by plugging both variable in the other equation

        6.25+3(3.5)=16.75

        6.25+10.5=16.75

        6.75=16.75

Need help with number 60 I’m really bad at problem solving
loris [4]

Answer:

okay so, i had a problem like this one and hated it, so ill try to help you out here

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is 81 all together it is safe to say the length and width is nine, making one mat six by 3, the little square being 3 by 3,

so the area of one mat would be six times three = 18

and if the width is 3, the length would be 6, unless it is cut in half, which we can assume it is not.

I hope this helps!

Leni [432]

Answer:

Option A is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that approximately 52% of all recent births were boys. In a simple random sample of 100 recent births, 49 were boys and 51 were girls. The most likely explanation for the difference between the observed results and the expected results in this case is

A) variability due to sampling

-- True because there is a slight difference whichmay be due to sampling fluctuations.

B) bias

False because given that 100 random births selected

C) nonsampling error

False.  There is no chance for systematic error here.

d) Confounding:  There is no confounding variable present inchild birth since each is independent of the other

e) a sampling frame that is incomplete

False because the sampling is done correctly.

Let p: the whole number has one digit. let q: the whole number is less than 10. which represents "the whole number has one digit
Hoochie [10]

"If and only if" (abbreviated "iff") is a biconditional logical connective between two assertions that is either true or untrue. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is "if and only if" operator?</h3>

In logic and related subjects such as mathematics and philosophy, "if and only if" (abbreviated "iff") is a biconditional logical connective between two assertions that is either true or untrue. It is represented by ⇔ or ↔.

The two of the events are

  • p: the whole number has one digit.
  • q: the whole number is less than 10.

Now, the representation of  "the whole number has one digit if and only if the whole number is less than 10" is done as p ↔ q.

Hence, the correct option is D.
