If 2 tacos and 3 drinks cost $14, and 3 tacos and 2 drinks cost $16, how much does a taco cost?
Answer:
1 taco is $4
Step-by-step explanation:
2t + 3d = 14 4t + 6d = 28
3t + 2d = 16 -9t -6d = -48
-5t = -20
t = 4
A tacos would cost $4.00.
Let the cost of tacos be T.Let the cost of drinks be D.Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;
[tex]2T \; + \; 3D = 14[/tex] ......equation 1
[tex]3T \; + \; 2D = 16[/tex] ......equation 2
To find how much a tacos cost, we would solve the above system of equations by using the substitution method.
From eqn 1, we would make D the subject of formula;
[tex]D = \frac {14 \; - 2T}{3}[/tex] .....equation 3
Substituting eqn 3 into eqn 2, we have;
[tex]3T \; + \; 2(\frac {14 \; - 2T}{3}) = 16\\\\3T \; + \; \frac {28 \; - 4T}{3} = 16\\\\[/tex]
Lowest common multiple (LCM) = 3
[tex]\frac {9T \; + \; 28 \;- \; 4T}{3} = 16\\\\\\[/tex]
Cross-multiplying, we have;
[tex]9T \; + \; 28 \;- \; 4T = 16 \; * \; 3\\\\5T \; + 28 = 48\\\\5T = 48 \; - 28\\\\5T = 20\\\\T = \frac{20}{5} \\[/tex]
Tacos, T = $4.00
Therefore, the cost of a tacos is $4.00.

According to a survey conducted by the technology market research firm The Radicati Group, U.S. office workers receive an average of e-mails per day (Entrepreneur magazine website). Assume the number of e-mails received per hour follows a Poisson distribution and that the average number of e-mails received per hour is five. a. What is the probability of receiving no e-mails during an hour (to 4 decimals)
Answer:
the probability is 0.0067
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the probability of receiving no e-mails during an hour is shown below;
Let us assume x be the number of emails received during an hour
Now the probability of receiving no e-mails is
= e^-5 × 5^0÷ 0!
= e^-5 × 1 ÷ 1
= e^-5
= 0.00674
= 0.0067
Hence, the probability is 0.0067

Find a number such that the sum of the number and its reciprocal is 65/8.
Answer:
Let the number be x
Since sum of a number and its reciprocal is 65/8 so we have
x+1/x=65/8
8x^2+8=65x
8x^2-65x+8=0
8x^2-64x-x+8=0
8x(x-8)-1(x-8)=0
(8x-1)(x-8)=0
x=8,1/8
So the numbers are 8 or 1/8

−4x + 2y < 10 in slope intercept
Answer:
y < 2x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The format for slope intercept is y = mx + b. In this case, it is y < mx + b. Your equation is -4x + 2y < 10. First, start by adding 4x to -4x. This gets rid of that number on the left so it can just be 2y. Now, add that 4x to the right side of the equation. You are left with 2y < 4x + 10. The final step is to divide 2 from 2y. Since you are doing this step on the left side of the equation, you must now do it to the right. After also dividing 2 from 4x and 10, your final answer is y < x +5.

Wheaties cereal is claimed to have an average of 3 grams of dietary fiber per serving. We want to test this hypothesis and to see whether we believe that is true or that the mean amount of fiber is significantly different from 3 grams. A random sample of 25 servings was taken and it yielded a sample mean of 3.4 grams with the sample standard deviation in the amount of fiber, s = .8 grams.
Assume that software has determined the p-value to be.02.
What would your decision be on this hypothesis test if everything is the same except that we change the level of significance for the test to.01?
Fail to reject the null hypothesis at the 1% level of significance.
Reject the null hypothesis at the 1% level of significance,
Answer:
The calculated value t = 2.5>2.326 at 0.01 level of significance
The null hypothesis is rejected at a 0.01 level of significance.
Wheaties cereal is not claimed to have an average of 3 grams of dietary fiber per serving
Step-by-step explanation:
Step(i):-
Given that the average of dietary fiber per serving μ = 3 grams
Given that the mean of the sample x⁻ = 3.4 grams
Given that the standard deviation of the sample (S) = 0.8 grams
Level of significance = 0.01
Critical value = 2.326
Step(ii):-
Null hypothesis: H₀: μ = 3 grams
Alternative Hypothesis: H₁: μ ≠ 3 grams
Tets statistic
[tex]t = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{3.4-3 }{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{25} } }[/tex]
t = 2.5
The calculated value t = 2.5>2.326 at 0.01 level of significance
The null hypothesis is rejected at a 0.01 level of significance.
Final answer:-
Wheaties cereal is not claimed to have an average of 3 grams of dietary fiber per serving

Can someone solve for x? And maybe explain it in a simple way?
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Because of the two parallel lines, the ratio between the sides must be the same. Since the bottom is 12 to 18 (a ration of two to three) we know that x and x+5 would have the same ratio. Logically, x would have to equal 10 so that x+5 would equal 15 and a ratio of two to three would exist there too. If you go to solve a problem and the answer isn’t obvious, jut set up a ratio.
12/18=x/(x+5)
then cross multiply and solve
12(x+5)=18x
12x+60=18x
60=18x-12x
60=6x
10=x
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set it up as a proportion, since the lines are parallel, the sections are proportionate to each other.
[tex]\frac{x}{12} = \frac{x+5}{18} \\18x=12(x+5)\\18x=12x+60\\6x=60\\x=10[/tex]
