Answer: x+y\geq12

2.75x+3.50y\leq35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of red roses and y represents the number of white roses.

Given : Javier is purchasing a bouquet of roses from a floral shop. He wants the bouquet to have at least 12 roses.

i.e. the required inequality for this statement will be :-

No. of red roses +No. of white roses ≥ 12

i.e. x+y\geq12

Also, Red roses cost $2.75 each and white roses cost $3.50 each and he wants to spend less than $35.

i.e. $2.75(No. of red roses)+$3.50(No. of white roses)≤ $35

i.e. 2.75x+3.50y\leq35

Now, From (1) and (2) the system of inequalities represents the situation :

x+y\geq12

2.75x+3.50y\leq35

Given the options, I would say that the answer

b. 2.75x + 3.50y <= 35

x+y=>12.

I believe this answer to be correct because Javier is only seeking to spend 35 dollars maximum. The key is that word. The <= sign indicates that no matter how many red roses/white roses, he cannot spend over what he set for himself.

As for the second part, it's simply asking you how many does he want to have in a bouquet. He wants 12 minimum.

The question now is... <em>What is he going to pick? Price or rose amounts?</em>

Lily begins solving the equation 4(x – 1) – x = 3(x + 5) – 11. Her work is shown below. 4(x – 1) – x = 3(x + 5) – 11 4x – 4 – x
OLga [1]

Solving an equation means finding the value of x which will make the equation true.

We need to undo whatever is done to x to get it by itself.

4(x-1)-x = 3(x + 5)-11\\Distributing \; 4 \; and \; 3 \; in \; right \; and \; left \; side \; of \; the \; equation\\\\ 4x-4-x=3x+15-11\\Combine \; like \; terms\\\\3x-4=3x+4\\Subtract \; 3x \; on \; both \; sides\\\\3x-3x-4=3x-3x+4\\ Combine \; like \; terms\\\\-4=4

Conclusion:

Since we end up with an equation which is not TRUE, there is NO solution for this equation. If we graph both the equations, they will end up as a parallel lines which will never meet.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "c. translate circle J by (x-a, y-b) and dilate by a factor of t/s." Circle J is located in the first quadrant with center (a, b) and radius s. Felipe transforms Circle J to prove that it is similar to any circle centered <span>at the origin with radius r.</span>

A company administers an "aptitude test for managers" to aid in selecting new management trainees. Prior experience suggests tha
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The question after this basically is:

<em>"If the applicant passes the "aptitude test for managers", what is the probability that the applicant will succeed in the management position?"</em>

<em />

So,

P(successful if hired) = 60% = 0.6 [let it be P(x)]

P(success at passing the test) = 85% = 0.85   [let it be P(y)]

P(successful and pass the test) =  P(x) + P(y) -[P(x)*P(y)]

So,

P(successful and pass the test) = 0.6 + 0.85 - (0.6*0.85) = 0.94 (94%)
