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

Answer:

The answer is D. 12x - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To add these functions, we just add the terms.

f(x) + g(x) = (7x - 4) + (5x + 1)

7x - 4 + 5x + 1 | Simplify

7x + 5x - 3

12x - 3.

A treasure map says that a treasure is buried so that it partitions the distance between a rock and a tree in a 5:9 ratio. Marin

djyliett [7]

Answer:

A) (7.6, 8.8)

which are the coordinates of the treasure.

Missing Problem Statement:

Given Options:

A) (11.4, 14.2)

B) (7.6, 8.8)

C) (5.7, 7.5)

D) (10.2, 12.6)

I have added the picture showing the traced map onto a coordinate plane to find exact location of treasure.

The coordinates of Tree are (16,21)

Coordinates of rock are (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Coordinates of treasure be (a,b)

$d_{1}$ = distance from tree to treasure

$d_{2}$ =distance from rock to treasure

$d_{1}=\sqrt{(16-x)^2 + (21-y)^2}$

$d_{2}=\sqrt{x\2 + (y-2)^2}$

Given ratio between rock and tree, $\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}=\frac{5}{9}$ = 0.55_______(Equation.1)

which will be used to locate the treasure.

Now we just need to cross check by putting the coordinates given in the options one by one to find out value of $d_{1}$ , $d_{2}$ and checking if it satisfies the Equation 1.

Check (A) (11.4, 14.2)

$d_{2}$ = 14.8, $d_{1}$ = 8.2,

$\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}$ = 1.8

Check (C) (5.7, 7.5)

$d_{2}$ = 6.13, $d_{1}$ = 16.98,

$\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}$ = 0.36

Check (D) (10.2, 12.6)

$d_{2}$ = 12.8, $d_{1}$ = 10.2,

$\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}$ = 1.25

Check (B) (7.6, 8.8)

$d_{2}$ = 8.2, $d_{1}$ = 14.8,

$\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}$ = 0.55

Which satisfies Equation 1, such that ratio between rock and tree is 5:9 or $\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}=\frac{5}{9}$ = 0.55

So, the coordinates of the treasure are (B) (7.6, 8.8)

An increase in walking has been shown to contribute to a healthier life-style. A sedentary American takes an average of 5000 ste

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

H0: µ = 5000

For the alternative hypothesis,

H1: µ > 5000

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 5000

x = 5430

σ = 600

n = 40

z = (5430 - 5000)/(600/√40) = 4.53

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is < 0.0001

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, at a 5% level of significance, it can be concluded that they walked more than the mean number of 5000 steps per day.

A store sells yogurt in small, medium, and large sizes. A small yogurt costs $2, a medium costs $3, and a large costs $5. In one

lidiya [134]

Let S = number of small yogurts ($2 each).
Let M = number of medium yogurts ($3 each)
Let L = number of large yogurts ($5 each)

Total yogurts is 27, therefore
S + M + L = 27

Total revenue generated is $98, therefore
2S + 3M +5L = 98

There are five more large yogurts than small yogurts, therefore
L = S + 5, or
-S + L = 5

These three equations may be written as the matrix equation
[ 1 1 1 | |S| |27|
| 2 3 5 | |M| = |98|
| -1 0 1 | |L| | 5|

The determinant of the matrix is
D = 3 - (2+5) + 3 = -1.

Solve with Cramer's Rule to obtain
S = -[27*3) - (98-25) - 15]
= 7
M = -[(98-25) - 27(2+5) + (10+98)]
= 8
L = -[15 - (10+98) + 27(3)]
= 12

Answer: 7 small, 8 medium, 12 large yogurts.
