D + 3r = 15
d = r + 3

r + 3 + 3r = 15
4r + 3 = 15
4r = 15 - 3
4r = 12
r = 12/4
r = 3 ....he bought 3 roses, at $ 3 per rose = $ 9 <==

d = r + 3
d = 3 + 3
d = 6....he bought 6 daisies, at $ 1 per daisy = $ 6

Brad wants to buy flowers for his friend with $15. The daisies are $1 each and the roses are $3 each. He buys 3 more daisies than roses how much did the roses cost?
-daisies=x-      -roses=y-

x+y=15

the sentence how he buys 3 more daisies than roses so...
(y=x-3)
you then plug in the value of y in the equation to have only one variable...
x+ 3(x-3)=15
you then multiply 3 to the parenthesis...
x+3x-9=15
then add 9 on both sides...
4x=24
and then divide 4 on both sides...
x=6

if you plug the value of x(daisies) in the equation...
6+y=15
you subtract 6 on both sides and get...
y=9

you can also get the answer by solving for y with x...
y=3(x-3)
(x=6)
plug in x...
y=3(6-3)
y=3(3)
y=9
Answer: the roses cost $9

in a certain normal distribution, 6.3% of the area lies to the left of 36 and 6.3% of the area lies to the right of 42. Find the
KATRIN_1 [288]

As the normal distribution is symmetric the mean is (36 + 42) / 2 = 39

 

p(X < 42) = 1 - 0.063 = 0.937

 

From tables Φ (1.53) = 0.9370

 

From this time:

42 is 1.53 standard deviations above the mean

42 = 39 + 1.53s

1.53s = 3

 

Standard deviation is = 1.96

Orin solved an equation and justified his steps as shown in the table.
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation as

\frac{3x}{5} -3=12

apply multiplication property of equality where you multiply every term by 5

\frac{3x}{5}*5 -3*5=12*5

3x-15=60------------------apply addition property of equality

3x-15+15=60+15

3x=75--------------------------appy division property of equality by dividing both sides by 3

3x/3=75/3

x=25

Graph a system of equations to solve log (−5.6x + 1.3) = −1 − x. Round to the nearest tenth. From the least to the greatest, the
natima [27]

Answer:

  • See the graph attached
  • x₁ ≈ - 2.1
  • x₂ ≈ 0.2

Explanation:

To solve log (−5.6x + 1.3) = −1 − x graphycally, you must graph this system of equations on the same coordinate plane:

  • Equation 1: y = log (5.6x + 1.3)
  • Equatin2:    y = - 1 - x

1) To graph the equation 1 you can use these features of logarithmfunctions:

  • Domain: positive values ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 > 0 ⇒ x < 13/56 (≈ 0.23)

  • Range: all real numbers (- ∞ , ∞)

  • x-intercept:

        log ( -5.6x + 1.3) = 0 ⇒ -5.6x + 1.3 = 1 ⇒x = 0.3/5.6 ≈ 0.054

  • y-intercept:

       x = 0 ⇒ log (0 + 1.3) = log (1.3) ≈ 0.11

  • Pick some other values and build a table:

        x            log (-5.6x + 1.3)

        -1           0.8

        -2           1.1

        -3           1.3

  • You can see such graph on the picture attached: it is the red curve.

2) Graphing the equation 2 is easier because it is a line: y = - 1 - x

  • slope, m = - 1 (the coeficient of x)
  • y - intercept, b = - 1 (the constant term)
  • x - intercept: y = 0 = - 1 - x ⇒ x = - 1
  • The graph is the blue line on the picture.

3) The solution or solutions of the equations are the intersection points of the two graphs. So, now the graph method just requires that you read the x coordinates of the intersection points. From the least to the greatest, rounded to the nearest tenth, they are:

  • <u><em>x₁ ≈ - 2.1</em></u>
  • <u><em>x₂ ≈ 0.2</em></u>
