Answer:

$L = 43$ and $M = 47$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$L = 2x + 25$

$M = 4x + 11$

Required

Determine the values of L and M

Since L and M are complementary, we have that

$L + M = 90$

Substitute values for L and M

$2x + 25 + 4x + 11 = 90$

Collect Like Terms

$2x + 4x = 90 - 11 - 25$

$6x = 54$

Divide both sides by 6

$x = \frac{54}{6}$

$x = 9$

Substitute 9 for x in the expressions of L and M

$L = 2x + 25$

$L = 2 * 9 + 25$

$L = 18 + 25$

$L = 43$

$M = 4x + 11$

$M = 4 * 9 + 11$

$M = 36 + 11$

$M = 47$

Jake made a total of 7 copies at a copy shop, with some being black-and-white copies and some being color copies. Black-and-whit

Arada [10]

Jake spent a total of 70 cents.
b = black-and-white = 8 cents
c = color = 15 cents

70 = 8b + 15c

he made a total of 7 copies
b + c = 7

system of equation:
70 = 8b + 15c
b + c = 7

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

b + c = 7
b + c (-c) = 7 (-c)
b = 7 - c

plug in 7 - c for b

70 = 8(7 - c) + 15c
Distribute the 8 to both 7 and - c (distributive property)

70 = 56 - 8c + 15c
Simplify like terms

70 = 56 - 8c + 15c
70 = 56 + 7c

Isolate the c, do the opposite of PEMDAS: Subtract 56 from both sides

70 (-56) = 56 (-56) + 7c
14 = 7c

divide 7 from both sides to isolate the c

14 = 7c
14/7 = 7c/7
c = 14/7
c = 2

c = 2
---------------

Now that you know what c equals (c = 2), plug in 2 for c in one of the equations.
b + c = 7
c = 2
b + (2) = 7
Find b by isolating it. subtract 2 from both sides
b + 2 = 7
b + 2 (-2) = 7 (-2)
b = 7 - 2
b = 5

Jake made 5 black-and-white copies, and 2 color copies

hope this helps

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Open file in excel.

Click on Data->Data Analysis and select Regression.

Enter wait time data range in y-variable.

Enter Duration data range in x-variable.

Click ok.

From above output:

#1 The equation of the linear regression line is:

A 95% confidence interval for the slope of the regression line is:

${(10.110,11.349)}$

In excel, ise formula =FORECAST(6,wait time data range, duration data range) and press enter. The wait time between eruptions following a 6 minute eruption is $\hat{Y}_{x=6}= 97.9} .$

Since (for F test) $p-value=0.000$ , we can conclude that there is a statistically significant linear relationship between the duration of the eruptions and the wait time between eruptions.
