Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=5 and y=16

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of pants

y = number of shirts

Set up equations:

25x + 14.5y = 357x + y = 21

Set the equations up as a system:

25x+14.5y=357

x+y=21

Steps:

Solve the system by substitution.

(You can also solve this system by elimination.)

25x + 14.5y=  357

x + y = 21

Step 1: Solve x+y=21 for x:

(x + y) − y = (21) − y(Subtract y from both sides)

x = −y + 21

Step 2: Substitute −y + 21 for x in 25x + 14.5y = 357:

25x + 14.5y = 357

25(−y + 21) + 14.5y = 357

−10.5y + 525 = 357 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

(−10.5y + 525) − 525 = (357) − 525(Subtract 525 to both sides)

−10.5y =  −168

−10.5y / −10.5 = −168 / −10.5 (Divide both sides by -10.5)

y = 16

Step 3: Substitute 16 for y in x = −y + 21:

x = −y + 21

x = −16 + 21

x = 5 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=5 and y=16

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\[2~ sin^2 x+3sin x+1=0\]

\[2sin^2x+2sin x+sin x+1=0\]

2sinx(sin x+1)+1(sin x+1)=0

(sin x+1)(2 sin x+1)=0

either sin x+1=0

sin x=-1=sin 3π/2=sin (2nπ+3π/2)

x=2nπ+3π/2,where n is an integer.

or 2sin x+1=0

sin x=-1/2=-sin π/6=sin (π+π/6),sin (2π-π/6)=sin (2nπ+7π/6),sin (2nπ+11π/6)

x=2nπ+7π/6,2nπ+11π/6,

where n is an integer.

[tex]\frac{(x + 1)(x - 2)}{x^{2} + 5}[/tex] This is the third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing a fraction is the same as multiplying the reciprocal of the second fraction.

[tex]\frac{x + 1}{x + 4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{(x + 4)(x - 2)}{x^{2} + 5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(x + 1)(x + 4)(x - 2)}{(x + 4)(x^{2} + 5)}[/tex]  Here, we can just get rid of the (x + 4) because it is common in both the numerator and denominator so they cancel each other out.

So the answer would be [tex]\frac{(x + 1)(x - 2)}{(x^{2} + 5)}[/tex] .

Cookie total: 96

-----------------------------------------------------

I can't really tell from how the question is worded if Maria's total was the total of what Lisa made, and she did it all on Saturday, or if Maria baked Lisa's Saturday number of cookies.

If 96 is the wrong answer, then try:

Lisa Friday: 24

The diagonal of a suitcase measures 30 inches and the height is 18 inches. What is the width of the suitcase to the
nearest Inch?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean Theorem we know

h^2=x^2+y^2 (where h is the hypotenuse and x and y are sides of a right triangle)

w^2+18^2=30^2

w^2=30^2-18^2

w^2=900-324

w^2=576

w=24 in

In the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2. The measurements provided here are 30, and 18. 30 is c and 18 is either a or b (it doesn’t matter) 30 is c because it is specified as a diagonal. In reverse to the Theorem, it would be 30^2-18^2= a^2 that would be 900-324. You would then square root what you got for “a” to find your answer. It would be 24.

There is a 0.9987 probability that a randomly selected 31​-year-old male lives through the year. A life insurance company charges ​$186 for insuring that the male will live through the year. If the male does not survive the​ year, the policy pays out ​$100,000 as a death benefit. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.

Answers

Parts a through c is missing and it is;

a) From the perspective of the 33-year-old male, what are the monetary values corresponding to the two events of surving the year and not surviving?

The value corresponding to surviving the year is $_____.

The value corresponding to not surviving the year is $_____.

b) If the 33-year-old male purchases the policy, what is his expected value?

The expected value is $_____.

c) Can the insurance company expect to make a profit from many such policies? Why?

_____ because the insurance company expects to make an average profit of $_____ on every 33-year-old male it insures for 1 year.

Answer:

A) the value that corresponds to surviving the year = - $186

The value corresponding to not surviving the year = $99814

B) μ = -$56

C) Yes, the company can make a profit from many such policies because it makes an average profit of $56 on every 31 year old male it insures for 1 year.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The company charges $186 for insuring. Thus;

Amount paid out = - $186

Therefore, the value that corresponds to surviving the year = - $186

Therefore, the value corresponding to not surviving the year = $100000 - $186

The value corresponding to not surviving the year = $99814

B) since probability that a 31 year old male survives is 0.9987, then;

Probability that a male doesn't survive is;

P(doesn't survive) = 1 - 0.9987

P(doesn't survive) = 0.0013

The expected value is calculated from;

μ = Σx•P(x) = (0.0013 × 99814) + (-186 × 0.9987)

μ = -$56

C) Yes, the company can make a profit from many such policies because it makes an average profit of $56 on every 31 year old male it insures for 1 year.
