The sum of Eric’s and Bob’s weights is 9 times the difference of their weights. The positive difference of their weights is also

240 pounds less than the sum. If Eric weighs less than Bob, find Bob’s weight.
Can you use the elimination method please? Thx

Answer:

<u>150</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

So I will shorten Eric, and Bob's names as E, and B.

So the equations are this

B-E = B+E - 240, E as Eric, and B as Bob, and this E+B=9(E-B)

Move the variables and you get

-2E =- 240

Just divide them both by -2

and E=120

So when we know the value of E we can just plug it into the 1st question

120+B=9B+1080

Moves the Variables and numbers to the other side

8B=1200

1200/8= 150

B=150

There is Bob's weight

k0ka [10]

Answer:

c) (40+60+25)/200 or 63%

Step-by-step explanation:

n= 200 students

Did Well on the Midterm and  Studied for the Midterm = 75

Did Well on the Midterm and Went Partying = 40

Did Poorly on the Midterm and Studied for the Midterm = 25

Did Poorly on the Midterm and Went Partying = 60

The number of students that did poorly on the midterm or went partying the weekend before the midterm is given by the sum of all students who did poorly to all students who went partying minus the number of students who did Poorly on the Midterm and Went Partying:

N=(25+60)+(40+60) - 60\\N= 125

The probability that a randomly selected student did poorly on the midterm or went partying the weekend before the midterm is given by:

P = \frac{N}{n}=\frac{125}{200} = 0.63 = 63\%

HEY GUYS PLEASE HELP ME ANYONE I MEAN ANYONE WHOO EXPLAINS WELL AND NOT FOR THE POINTS WILL BE MARKED AS BRAINLIEST .SOLVE EACH
cupoosta [38]
-4x + 6y = 12
x + 2y = -10

First solve for x in the second equation

x + 2y = -10
x = -10 - 2y

Now we have a value for x so we can substitute it into the other equation

-4 (-10 - 2y) + 6y = 12

Now solve for y

40 + 8y + 6y = 12
40 + 14y = 12
14y = -28
y = -2

Now we have a value for y that we can plug into one of the original equations so we can solve for x

x + 2y = -10
x + 2(-2) = -10
x - 4 = -10
x = -6

Your solution set is

(-6, -2)

The distribution of scores on the SAT is approximately normal with a mean of mu = 500 and a standard deviation of sigma = 100. F
ella [17]

Answer:

a. 2.28%

b. 30.85%

c. 628.16

d. 474.67

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given value x, the related z-score is computed as z = (x-500)/100.

a. The z-score related to 700 is (700-500)/100 = 2, and P(Z > 2) = 0.0228 (2.28%)

b. The z-score related to 550 is (550-500)/100 = 0.5, and P(Z > 0.5) = 0.3085 (30.85%)

c. We are looking for a value b such that P(Z > b) = 0.1, i.e., b is the 90th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so, b = 1.281552. Therefore, P((X-500)/100 > 1.281552) = 0.1, equivalently  P(X > 500 + 100(1.281552)) = 0.1 and the minimun SAT score needed to be in the highest 10% of the population is 628.1552

d. We are looking for a value c such that P(Z > c) = 0.6, i.e., c is the 40th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so, c = -0.2533471. Therefore, P((X-500)/100 > -0.2533471) = 0.6, equivalently P(X > 500 + 100(-0.2533471)), and the minimun SAT score needed to be accepted is 474.6653
