The soccer team collected $800 at a car wash fundraiser. They charged $5.00 for small vehicles and $10.00 for larger vehicles. T

he amount collected can be modeled by the equation 5x + 10y = 800, where x represents the number of small vehicles and y represents the number of larger vehicles. If the number of larger vehicles washed was 50, how many small vehicles were washed in total?

Answer:

Number of small vehicles washed were 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Soccer team collected $800 by charging $5 for the small vehicles and $10 for larger vehicles.

Amount collected was modeled by the equation

5x + 10y = 800

Where x = Number of small vehicles

y = Number of larger vehicles

If y = 5 then we have to calculate the number of small vehicles washed.

By putting y = 50 in the equation,

5x + 10(50) = 800

5x + 500 = 800

5x = 800 - 500

5x = 300

x = $\frac{300}{5}$

x = 60

Therefore, number of small vehicles washed were 60.

Plug 50 into y and find x.

5x + 10 (50) = 800
5x + 500 = 800
5x = 800 - 500
5x = 300
x = 300 ÷ 5
x = 60

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (2,3) and (-3,8).

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

$m = -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points (2,3) and (-3,8)

Required

Determine the gradient

Gradient (m) is calculated by dividing the change in y values by the change in x values.

i.e.

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where:

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,3)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (-3,8)$

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ becomes

$m = \frac{8 - 3}{-3 -2}$

$m = \frac{5}{-5}$

$m = -1$

<em>Hence, the gradient is -1</em>

What type of polygon would a slice of a hexahedron at a vertex create? Explain. What type of polygon would a slice of an icosahe

harina [27]

Answer:

hexahedron: triangle or quadrilateral or pentagon
icosahedron: quadrilateral or pentagon

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Hexahedron</u>

A hexahedron has 6 faces. A <em>regular</em> hexahedron is a cube. 3 square faces meet at each vertex.

If the hexahedron is not regular, depending on how those faces are arranged, a slice near a vertex may intersect 3, 4, or 5 faces. The first attachment shows 3- and 4-edges meeting at a vertex. If those two vertices were merged, then there would be 5 edges meeting at the vertex of the resulting pentagonal pyramid.

A slice near a vertex may create a triangle, quadrilateral, or pentagon.

<u>Icosahedron</u>

An icosahedron has 20 faces. The faces of a <em>regular</em> icosahedron are all equilateral triangles. 5 triangles meet at each vertex.

If the icosahedron is not regular, depending on how the faces are arranged, a slice near the vertex may intersect from 3 to 19 faces.

A slice near a vertex may create a polygon of 3 to 19 sides..

The factory quality control department discovers that the conditional probability of making a manufacturing mistake in its preci

Anni [7]

Answer:

The probability that a defective ball bearing was manufactured on a Friday = 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the event of making a mistake = M

The event of making a precision ball bearing production on Monday = Mo

The event of making a precision ball bearing production on Tuesday = T

The event of making a precision ball bearing production on Wednesday = W

The event of making a precision ball bearing production on Thursday = Th

The event of making a precision ball bearing production on Friday = F

the conditional probability of making a manufacturing mistake in its precision ball bearing production is 4% on Tuesday, P(M|T) = 4% = 0.04

4% on Wednesday, P(M|W) = 0.04

4% on Thursday, P(M|Th) = 0.04

8% on Monday, P(M|Mo) = 0.08

and 12% on Friday = P(M|F) = 0.12

The Company manufactures an equal amount of ball bearings (20 %) on each weekday, Hence, the probability that a random precision ball bearing was made on a particular day of the week, is mostly the same for all the five working days.

P(Mo) = 0.20

P(T) = 0.20

P(W) = 0.20

P(Th) = 0.20

P(F) 0.20

The probability that a defective ball bearing was manufactured on a Friday = P(F|M)

P(F|M) = P(F n M) ÷ P(M)

P(F n M) = P(M n F)

P(M) = P(Mo n M) + P(T n M) + P(W n M) + P(Th n M) + P(F n M)

We can obtain each of these probabilities by using the expression for conditional probability.

P(Mo n M) = P(M|Mo) × P(Mo) = 0.08 × 0.20 = 0.016

P(T n M) = P(M|T) × P(T) = 0.04 × 0.20 = 0.008

P(W n M) = P(M|W) × P(W) = 0.04 × 0.20 = 0.008

P(Th n M) = P(M|Th) × P(Th) = 0.04 × 0.20 = 0.008

P(F n M) = P(M|F) × P(F) = 0.12 × 0.20 = 0.024

P(M) = P(Mo n M) + P(T n M) + P(W n M) + P(Th n M) + P(F n M)

P(M) = 0.016 + 0.008 + 0.008 + 0 008 + 0.024 = 0.064

P(F|M) = P(F n M) ÷ P(M)

P(F n M) = P(M n F) = 0.024

P(M) = 0.064

P(F|M) = P(F n M) ÷ P(M) = (0.024/0.064) = 0.375

Hope this Helps!
