Monica’s school band held a car wash to raise money for a trip to a parade in New York City. After washing 125 cars, they made $

775 from a combination of $5.00 quick washes and $8.00 premium washes. This system of equations models the situation. x + y =125 5x + 8y = 775

Answer:

$x+y = 125$ (1)

$5x+8y = 775$ (2)

We can solve for y from equation (1) and we got:

$y = 125-x$ (3)

And replacing (3) into (2) we got:

$5x +8(125-x) = 775$

And solving for x we got:

$1000-3x = 775$

$3x= 225$

$x=75$

And solving for y from (3) we got:

$x= 125-75 =50$

And the solution would be x = 50 and y =75

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we have the following system of equations:

$x+y = 125$ (1)

$5x+8y = 775$ (2)

We can solve for y from equation (1) and we got:

$y = 125-x$ (3)

And replacing (3) into (2) we got:

$5x +8(125-x) = 775$

And solving for x we got:

$1000-3x = 775$

$3x= 225$

$x=75$

And solving for y from (3) we got:

$x= 125-75 =50$

And the solution would be x = 50 and y =75

Bill, George, and Ross, in order, roll a die. The first one to roll an even number wins and the game is ended. What is the proba

hram777 [196]

Answer: $0.5714\frac{1}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Bill, George, and Ross, in order, roll a die.

The first one to roll an even number wins and the game is ended.

Since Bill starts the game he can win by throwing even number or lose by throwing odd number

P(win) = 0.5, otherwise, the die will go to George. For Bill to win, both George and Ross should throw an odd number so that Bill again gets the chance with game non ending.

Thus we have Prob of Bill winning =P of Bill winning in I throw +P of Bill winning in his II chance of throw +....infinitely

To get back the dice once he loses probability

= p both throws odd = $0.5(0.5) = 0.25$

Thus Prob for Bill winning

= $0.5+0.25(0.5)^2+0.25(0.5)^3(0.25)+...$

This is an infinite geometric series with I term 0.5 and common ratio 0.125<1

Sum = $\frac{a}{1-r} =\frac{0.5}{1-0.125} =0.5714$

The system shown has the unique solution (2, y, z). Solve the system and select the values that complete the solution. y = 0 y =

madreJ [45]

So we are given a system:
$3x-2y+3z=0\\
-3x - 5y - 5z= -21$
Substitute x = 2 we get the system:
$-2y+3z=-6\\
- 5y - 5z= -15$
Multiply the first equation by -5 and the second by 2 we get the system:
$10y-15z=30\\
- 10y - 10z= -30$
Adding the two equations we get :
$-25z=0\text{ then}z=0.$
We find the value of y by using any of the other equations like this:
$-2y=-6\\y=3.$
Final solution:
$z=0,y=3$

If the federal reserve decreases the reserve rate from 2.5% to 1.25% how does this affect the amount of money that would result

kirza4 [7]

The correct answer for this question is this one: "D it increases by $1,800,000"
<span>If the federal reserve decreases the reserve rate from 2.5% to 1.25%, this affect the amount of money that would result because of fractional reserve banking from an initial deposit in a bank of $45,000 is that </span><u>it increases by $1,800,000</u>Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.
