Answer:

2a + 4b = 44

a+b=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Call a the number of chickens, b the number of horses

We have: 2a + 4b = 44

                a + b = 15

               => 2(a+b) = 30

               <=> (2a + 4b) - (2a + 2b) = 14

                     2b = 14

                  => b = 7

                  => a = 8

So 8 chickens, 7 cows.

Cheyenne drove 3000 miles in 75 hours. At this rate, how long will it take her to drive 4000 miles?
lyudmila [28]
Set up a proportion:
\frac{3000}{75}=\frac{4000}{x}
To solve cross multiply:
3000x=300000
divide both sides by 3000:
3000x/3000=300000/3000
x=100

It will take her 100 hours to drive 4000 miles assuming she continues to travel at this rate.

Solve -vp+40&lt;95 for v
Leya [2.2K]

-vp+40<95

subtract 40 from each side

-vp < 55

divide by -p (which flips the inequality) assuming p>0

v > -55/p

Hich ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations? {x=(1)/(2)y+5} {2x+3y=-14}
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

(2, - 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x = \frac{1}{2} y + 5 → (1)

2x + 3y = - 14 → (2)

Substitute x = \frac{1}{2} y + 5 into (2)

2( \frac{1}{2} y + 5 ) + 3y = - 14 ← distribute and simplify left side

y + 10 + 3y = - 14

4y + 10 = - 14 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4y = - 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = - 6

Substitute y = - 6 into (1) for corresponding value of x

x = (0.5 × - 6 ) + 5 = - 3 + 5 = 2

Solution is (2, - 6 )

A yearbook company was investigating whether there is a significant difference between two states in the percents of high school
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: D. two-sample z-test for a difference in population proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

The options for the given questions were missing. The options are as follows:

A one-sample z-test for a sample proportion

B one-sample z-test for a population proportion

A

C two-sample z-test for a difference in sample proportions

D two-sample z-test for a difference in population proportions

Solution:

Sample proportions are used to estimate population proportions.

We are given the sample proportion of students from one state who ordered a yearbook = 70/150

We are also given the sample proportion of students from the other state who ordered a yearbook = 65/100

Since there are 2 samples and we want to investigate if there is a difference between 2 population of students,

Therefore, the most appropriate method for analyzing the results is

D. two-sample z-test for a difference in population proportions
