Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete but let me help out.

You said that you thought of number J, and then subtracted half of it from 34. This can be mathematically written as:

= 34 - (J/2)

Let's reframe the question and assume that you thought of a number J, and then subtracted half of it from 34 and the answer you get is 12. To find J goes thus:

You subtract half of J from 34 and equate it to 12. This will be:

34 - (J/2) = 12

Collect like terms

34 - 12 = J/2

22 = J/2

J = 22 × 2

J = 44

In this scenario, J = 44. We can check to confirm.

Check: 34 - (J/2)

= 34 - (44/2)

= 34 - 22

= 12

The equation r = 6t gives the number of albums released, r, by a record label over time in years, t. If you graph this relations

GalinKa [24]

R = 6t.....subbing in (8,48).....t = 8 and r = 48
48 = 6(8)
48 = 48 (correct)

r = 6t...subbing in (13,78)...t = 13 and r = 78
78 = 6(13)
78 = 78 (correct)

so u have 2 sets of points on this line and they are (8,48) and (13,78)

aragraphs are the building blocks of papers. Many students define paragraphs in terms of length: a paragraph is a group of at least five sentences, a paragraph is half a page long, etc. In reality, though, the unity and coherence of ideas among sentences is what constitutes a paragraph. A paragraph is defined as “a group of sentences or a single sentence that forms a unit” (Lunsford and Connors 116). Length and appearance do not determine whether a section in a paper is a paragraph. For instance, in some styles of writing, particularly journalistic styles, a paragraph can be just one sentence long. Ultimately, a paragraph is a sentence or group of sentences that support one main idea. In this handout, we will refer to this as the “controlling idea,” because it controls what happens in the rest of the paragraph.

Billy Jo's school is selling tickets to a Fall Festival. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 adult ticket and 8 s

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 adult ticket and 8 student tickets for a total of $72. The school took in $152 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and 16 student tickets. How much is a student ticket?

Day 1: 3x + 7y = 72

Day 2: 7x + 16y = 152

This becomes a system of equations.

3x+8y=72

3x+8y+−8y=72+−8y (Add -8y to both sides)

3x=−8y+72

3x/3 = −(8y+72)/3

X = (-8/3) y + 24

Substitute (-8/3) y + 24 for x in7x+16y=152:

7(-8/3 y + 24) + 16y = 152

-8/3 y + 168 = 152 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

-8/3 y + 168 − 168 = 152 + (−168) (Add -168 to both sides)

-8/3 y = -16

(-8/3 y)/(-8/3 y) = -16/ -8/3 y (Divide both sides by (-8)/3)

y = 6

If you wanted to keep going...

Substitute 6f or y in x = (-8/3) y + 24

(-8/3) y + 24 = (-8/3) (6) + 24

SImplify: x = 8

X = 8 and Y = 6

Hope this helps! ♥

Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested. The seller announced that th

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The bid should be greater than $10,000 to get accepted by the seller. Let bid x be a continuous random variable that is uniformly distributed between

$10,000 and $15,000

The interval of the accepted bidding is $[ {\rm{\$ 10,000 , \$ 15,000}]$ , where b = $15000 and a = $10000.

The interval of the provided bidding is [$10,000,$12,000]. The probability is calculated as,

$\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X{\rm{ < 12,000}}} \right){\rm{ = }}1 - P\left( {X > 12000} \right)\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{12000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{15000 - 10000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{12000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{5000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \frac{1}{{5000}}\left[ x \right]_{12000}^{15000}\\\end{array}$

$=1- \frac{[15000-12000]}{5000}\\\\=1-0.6\\\\=0.4$

(b) The interval of the accepted bidding is [$10,000,$15,000], where b = $15,000 and a =$10,000. The interval of the given bidding is [$10,000,$14,000].

$\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X{\rm{ < 14,000}}} \right){\rm{ = }}1 - P\left( {X > 14000} \right)\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{14000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{15000 - 10000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{14000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{5000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \frac{1}{{5000}}\left[ x \right]_{14000}^{15000}\\\end{array} P(X14000)$

$=1- \frac{[15000-14000]}{5000}\\\\=1-0.2\\\\=0.8$

(c)

The amount that the customer bid to maximize the probability that the customer is getting the property is calculated as,

The interval of the accepted bidding is [$10,000,$15,000],

where b = $15,000 and a = $10,000. The interval of the given bidding is [$10,000,$15,000].

$\begin{array}{c}\\f\left( {X = {\rm{15,000}}} \right){\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{15000}} - {\rm{10000}}}}{{{\rm{15000}} - {\rm{10000}}}}\\\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{5000}}}}{{{\rm{5000}}}}\\\\{\rm{ = 1}}\\\end{array}$

(d) The amount that the customer bid to maximize the probability that the customer is getting the property is $15,000, set by the seller. Another customer is willing to buy the property at $16,000.The bidding less than $16,000 getting considered as the minimum amount to get the property is $10,000.

The bidding amount less than $16,000 considered by the customers as the minimum amount to get the property is $10,000, and greater than $16,000 will depend on how useful the property is for the customer.

A square is made up of an L-shaped region and three transformations of the region. If the perimeter of the square is 40 units, w

Mila [183]

Answer:

20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

This implies that the square can be divided into four equal L-shaped regions. These regions with respect to transformation forms a square.

Perimeter of the square is 40 units. Since a square has equal length of sides, thus each side of the square is 10 units.

Thus, each L-shape region has dimensions; 8 units, 5 units, 5 units and 2 units.

Perimeter of each L-shape region = the addition of the length of each side of the shape

Perimeter of each L-shape region = 8 + 5 + 5 + 2

= 20 units
