Answer:

Mary bought 9 Golden Delicious apples

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by setting up a system of equations. Based on the information given, the equations would be set up as follows.

.75d+1.25g=21.00\\d+g=22

I prefer to solve using substitution, but elimination can be used as well

.75d+1.25g=21.00\\g=22-d

We can now plug in this g value to the first equation

.75d + 1.25 (22-d)=21.00\\.75d + 27.5-1.25d=21\\27.5-0.5d=21\\-.5d=-6.5\\d=13

This means mary bought 13 delicious apples. She bought 22 apples in total,  so the total number minus the amount of delicious apples will give us the amount of golden delicious apples.

22 - 13 = g

9 = g

If a and b are independent events then it must be true that P(A|B)=P(A). TRUE OR FALSE.
Vesnalui [34]
This would be true because it shows that p equals either a or b and it also shows that p equals a which is true because it is one of the independent choices.

Solve the following equation by completing the square. 3x^2-3x-5=13
mr Goodwill [35]

we'll start off by grouping some

\bf 3x^2-3x-5=13\implies (3x^2-3x)-5=13\implies 3(x^2-x)-5=13 \\\\\\ 3(x^2-x)=18\implies (x^2-x)=\cfrac{18}{3}\implies (x^2-x)=6\implies (x^2-x+~?^2)=6

so we have a missing guy at the end in order to get the a perfect square trinomial from that group, hmmm, what is it anyway?

well, let's recall that a perfect square trinomial is

\bf \qquad \textit{perfect square trinomial} \\\\ (a\pm b)^2\implies a^2\pm \stackrel{\stackrel{\text{\small 2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small a}^2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small b}^2}}{\downarrow }}{2ab} + b^2

so we know that the middle term in the trinomial, is really 2 times the other two without the exponent, well, in our case, the middle term is just "x", well is really -x, but we'll add the minus later, we only use the positive coefficient and variable, so we'll use "x" to find the last term.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{middle term}}{2(x)(?)}=\stackrel{\textit{middle term}}{x}\implies ?=\cfrac{x}{2x}\implies ?=\cfrac{1}{2}

so, there's our fellow, however, let's recall that all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0, so if we add (1/2)², we also have to subtract (1/2)²

\bf \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)=6\implies \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2=6 \\\\\\ \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=6+\cfrac{1}{4}\implies \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=\cfrac{25}{4}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\cfrac{25}{4}} \\\\\\ x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{5}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{5}{2}+\cfrac{1}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{6}{2}\implies \boxed{x=3}
