A minus B equals 25 A : b is equivalent 13:8

So, this includes some good old algebra. 
<span>A minus B equals 25 A : b is equivalent 13:8

So, we have a couple things to write out. 
The ratio of a to b (a:b) is 13:8 
---> this means that 13a = 8b
I would solve for one of the variables. b seems a little bit easier, I guess so I'll solve for that one. 

</span><span>(13/8)a=b
Therefore:
a-b=25
a-(13/8)a=25
(8/8)a-(13/8)a=25
-(5/8)a=25
-a=25 / (5/8)
-a = 25 * (8/5)
a= -40

Now, it probably wants both a and b solved. So to find b we just substitute in the value for a. Or, more easily, just solve the original equation with a substituted.
a-b=25
-40-b=25
-b=25+40
-b=-65
b=-65

and to check:

</span>13a = 8b
13(-40)=8(-65)
-520=-520
 
and 
a-b=?
-40-(-65)=25

Kiley gathered the data in the table. She found the approximate line of best fit to be y = 1.6x – 4. A 2-column table with 5 row
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The residual value is -1.8 when x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following table

x     |    y

0    |   -3

2    |    -1

3    |    -1

5    |    5

6    |    6    

Residual value:

A residual value basically shows the position of a data point with respect to the line of best fit.

The residual value is calculated as,

Residual value = Observed value - Predicted value

Where observed values are already given in the question and the predicted values are calculated by using the equation of  line of best fit.

y = 1.6x - 4

When we substitute x = 3 in the above equation then we would get the predicted value.

y = 1.6x - 4 \\\\y = 1.6(3) - 4 \\\\y = 4.8 - 4 \\\\y = 0.8

So the predicted value is 0.8

From the given table, the observed value corresponding to x = 3 is -1

So the residual value is,

Residual value = Observed value - Predicted value

Residual value = -1 - 0.8

Residual value = -1.8

Therefore, the residual value is -1.8 when x = 3

Note: A residual value closer to 0 is desired which means that the regression line best fits the data.

Given : A florist currently makes a profit of $20 on each of her celebration bouquets and sells an average of 30 bouquets every week . and graph

To Find :  Maximum profit , breakeven point , profit interval

Solution:

The maximum profit the florist will earn from selling celebration bouquets is $ 675

peak of y from Graph

The florist will break-even after  Selling 20     one-dollar decreases.

at breakeven

Break even is the point where the profit p(x) becomes 0

The interval of the number of one-dollar decreases for which the florist makes a profit from celebration bouquets is (0 ,20).

after 20 , P(x) is - ve
