10a + 8b = 230
a + b = (2 + 2 + 13 + 10)...a + b = 27 (this is the number of gifts to buy)

a = 27 - b

10(27 - b) + 8b = 230
270 - 10b + 8b = 230
-10b + 8b = 230 - 270
-2b = -40
b = -40/-2
b = 20 <=== she bought 20 eight dollar gifts

a = 27 - b
a = 27 - 20
a = 7 <=== she bought 7 ten dollar gifts

Solve the system of linear equations using multiplication.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(8,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is:

3x+3y=21

6x+12y=36

Since I prefer to use smaller numbers I'm going to divide both sides of the first equation by 3 and both sides of the equation equation by 6.

This gives me the system:

x+y=7

x+2y=6

We could solve the first equation for x and replace the second x with that.

Let's do that.

x+y=7

Subtract y on both sides:

x=7-y

So we are replacing the second x in the second equation with (7-y) which gives us:

(7-y)+2y=6

7-y+2y=6

7+y=6

y=6-7

y=-1

Now recall the first equation we arranged so that x was the subject. I'm referring to x=7-y.

We can now find x given that y=-1 using the equation x=7-y.

Let's do that.

x=7-y with y=-1:

x=7-(-1)

x=7+1

x=8

So the solution is (8,-1).

We can check this point by plugging it into both equations.

If both equations render true for that point, then we have verify the solution.

Let's try it.

3x+3y=21 with (x,y)=(8,-1):

3(8)+3(-1)=21

24+(-3)=21

21=21 is a true equation so the "solution" looks promising still.

6x+12y=36 with (x,y)=(8,-1):

6(8)+12(-1)=36

48+(-12)=36

36=36 is also true so the solution has been verified since both equations render true for that point.

A small school with 60 total students records how many of their students attend on each of the 180 days in a school year. the ma
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

For the sampling distribution,

a) Mean = μₓ = 55.0 students.

b) Standard Deviation = 1.8 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete Question is attached to this solution.

The Central limit theorem explains that for the sampling distribution, the mean is approximately equal to the population mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is related to the population standard deviation through

σₓ = (σ/√n)

where σ = population standard deviation = 4

n = sample size = 5

Mean = population mean

μₓ = μ = 55 students.

Standard deviation

σₓ = (σ/√n) = (4/√5) = 1.789 students = 1.8 students to 1 d.p

Hope this Helps!!!

Two runners are saving money to attend a marathon. The first runner has $112 in savings, received a $45 gift from a friend, and
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The correct answer is the last option, that is, 112 + 25m + 45 = 50 + 60m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the first runner has $112 in savings, received a $45 gift from a friend, and will save $25 each month. Therefore, amount of money in the account of first running after m months will be: 112+45+25m

We have been given that the second runner has $50 in savings and will save $60 each month. Therefore, amount of money in the account of second running after m months will be: 50 + 60m

In order for amount of money to be equal in accounts of both the runners, we set up:

112+45+25m=50+60m

Upon rewriting the left hand side using commutative law, we get:

112+25m+45=50+60m

Therefore, we can see that the last option is the correct answer.

Miranda bought a square frame that has an area of 30 square inches what is the approximate side lenght of the frame
Alexxandr [17]

Area of a square equals side squared

(A = s²)

30 = s²

√30 = s

You can use a calculator to find out that √30 ≈ 5.48

or you can use estimation (√25 < √30 < √36) which means that √30 is between 5 and 6.
