Answer:

Afternoon class has more students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be the number of students in the morning class and n be the number of students in the afternoon class.

The average score for the students in the morning class was 80, then the sum of their scores is 80m.

The average score for the students in the afternoon class was 86, then the sum of their scores is 86n.

The sum of the scores of both classes is

80m+86n

and the average score is

\dfrac{80m+86n}{m+n}

The average (arithmetic mean) score for the two classes combined was 84, then

\dfrac{80m+86n}{m+n}=84\\ \\ 80m+86n=84m+84n\\ \\86n-84n=84m-80m\\ \\2n=4m\\ \\n=2m

This means n is greater, so afternoon class has more students.

A kite has a perimeter of 70 centimeters. One of the shorter sides measures 16 centimeters. What are the lengths of the other th
kari74 [83]

Answer:

a kite has 2 short sides and 2 long sides. The 2 short sides are equal. The 2 long sides are also equal. This means that the other short side is 16cm. And the remaining longer sides can be found like this:

let's pretend *y* is the long side

2*y = 70 - 16 - 16. (two of the long sides = 70 - short side - another short side)

so use algebra to find y.

2*y = 38

y = 19 so the long sides are both 19cm each

Your final answer: 16cm, 19cm, 19cm

svet-max [94.6K]
<span>Residual value is the difference between the observed value of the dependent variable (y) and the predicted value (ŷ) in a data set.

i.e. Residual value = given value - predicted value

From the table, the residual value corresponding to a has 4.1 as the given value and 4.5 as the predicted value.
Therefore, a = 4.1 - 4.5 = -0.4

Similarly, </span><span>the residual value corresponding to b has 7.2 as the given value and 7.05 as the predicted value.
Therefore, b = 7.2 - 7.05 = 0.15
</span>
Therefore, a = -0.4 and b = 0.15

Tony’s class needs more than $500 for the school dance. So far, they have raised $200. They plan to have a car wash, charging $8
anzhelika [568]
<h2><em><u>PLZ MARK BRAINLIEST</u></em></h2><h2><em><u></u></em></h2>

No, he is not correct for if they washed 37 cars they would have made a total of 296 dollars washing cars. Because this is an inequality, he needs to get a value equal too or greater than 300 dollars on car washes. Also, because he already has 200 dollars collected, you could write the inequality as "8x is greater than or equal to 300".
