A bag of potatoes weighs about

This is what I've done so far but does anyone know what I do next or did I make a mistake

grigory [225]

Remmeber, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

for inequalities, if you multiply or divide both sides by a negive, flip the direction of the inequality sign

pemdas always applies
but also the commutative property and assiociative property

so
2(5y+13)-6<20
add 6 both sides
2(5y+13)<26
divide both sides by 2 (easier that distributing)
5y+13<13
minus 13 both sides
5y<0
y<0 is the solution

Solve the system using substitution x=3y-11 4x-3y=-26

iragen [17]

Answer:

x=3y-11

then now putting the value of x in second equation

4(3y-11)-3y =26

12y - 44-3y=26

9y=44+26

9y=70

y=70/9

now putting the value of y in 1st equation then

x=3*70/9-11

x=37/3

now checking this is correct or not in 2nd eqn

4*37/3-3*70/9=26

148-70/3=26

26=26

Caden exercises daily by walking on a treadmill. He sets the machine so that he will walk at a steady rate of 3.6 miles per hour

babunello [35]

Answer:

a) d = 3.6t

b) 10.8 miles

c) 1.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For part a:

Slope of a line: y = mx + b

In this case, the equation would be: d = mt,

where m represents the speed Caden is walking at.

Note: b = 0 in this case because when Caden starts walking on the treadmill, he hasn't really covered any distance yet.

Therefore, plugging in a speed of 3.6 miles per hour, the equation is:

d = 3.6t

For part b:

This is a simple instance of plugging in 3 hours for our t value.

Therefore, d = 3.6 (3)

d = 10.8 miles

For part c:

In this case, we are given that d = 4.32 miles.

Therefore, 4.32 = 3.6t

Dividing both sides by 3.6, we get

t = 1.2 hours

A marketing firm would like to test-market the name of a new energy drink targeted at 18- to 29-year-olds via social media. A st

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

X = an US adult who does not uses social media.

Y = an US adult between the ages 18 and 29.

Z = an US adult between the ages 30 and above.

The information provided is:

P (X) = 0.35

P (Z) = 0.78

P (Y ∪ X') = 0.672

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media as follows:

P (US adult uses social media (X')) = 1 - P (US adult so not use social media)

$=1-P(X)\\=1-0.35\\=0.65$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 as follows:

P (Adults between 18 - 29 (Y)) = 1 - P (Adults 30 or above)

$=1-P(Z)\\=1-0.78\\=0.22$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media as follows:

P (Y ∩ X') = P (Y) + P (X') - P (Y ∪ X')

$=0.22+0.65-0.672\\=0.198$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

P and W are twice-differentiable functions with P(7)=2(W(7)). The line y=9+2.5(x-7) is tangent to the graph of P at x=7. The lin

fiasKO [112]

Using the product rule, we have

$m(x) = x W(x) \implies m'(x) = xW'(x) + W(x)$

so that

$m'(7) = 7W'(7) + W(7)$

The equation of the tangent line to W(x) at x = 7 has all the information we need to determine m' (7).

When x = 7, the tangent line intersects with the graph of W(x), and

y = 4.5 + 2 (7 - 7) ==> y = 4.5

means that this intersection occurs at the point (7, 4.5), and this in turn means W (7) = 4.5.

The slope of this tangent line is 2, so W' (7) = 2.

Then

$m'(7) = 7\cdot2 + 4.5 = \boxed{18.5}$
