Answer: b+m= 400  

m= 3b      

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the number of stamps Bria has and m be the number of stamps Matt has.

Given : Bria and Matt have a total of 400 stamps.

i.e. No. of stamps Bria has + No. of stamps Matt has = 400

i.e. In terms of variables b+m= 400        (1)

Also, Matt has three times as many stamps as Bria.

i.e. No. of stamps Matt has = 3 x (No. of stamps Bria has )

i.e. In terms of variables m= 3b        (2)

From (1) and (2) , the system of equations can be used to find the number of stamps Bria has, b, and the number of stamps Matt has, m will be :_

b+m= 400  

m= 3b

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

5,340

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there:)

Amount invested in stock

=5000×0.6=3000

Amount invested in a saving account

5000-3000=2000


The stock increases 9% in the first year

3,000×(1+0.09)=3,270

and loses 4% of its value the second year

3,270×(1−0.04)=3,139.2

Amount of a saving account after two years

2,000×(1+0.049)^(2)=2,200.8


the total amount gained during the 2 years

3,139.2+2,200.8=5,340...answer


Hope it helps

To make f continuous at x=2 , f(2) should be defined as what value? Justify your answer.
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

To make f continuous at x=2, f(2) should be defined x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function, let say f(x), is defined at x = c is continuous at x = c

If the limit of f(x) as x approaches c is equal to the value of f(x) at  x = c.

Mathematically it is written as:

if

\lim _{x\to c}\:f\left(x\right)=f\left(c\right)

then

f(x) is continuous at  x = c.

So from the above definition, we conclude that:

To make f continuous at x=2, f(2) should be defined x = 2.

i.e.

if

\lim _{x\to 2}\:f\left(x\right)=f\left(2\right)

then

f(x) is continuous at  x = 2.

In a new card game, you start with a well-shuffled full deck and draw 3 cards without replacement. If you draw 3 hearts, you win
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Expected pay winning $50= $0.585

Expected pay winning $25= $2.36

Expected pay for anything else= $-4.35

Expected returns=3.59

Expected value for one play= $(-1.41)

Do not play this game because you will lose $1.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability P(3 hearts) = (13/52)×(12/51)×(11/50) = 0.013

Probability P(3black)= (26/52)×(24/51)×(23/50) = 0.118

Probability P(drawing anything else)= 1 - 0.013 - 0.118= 0.869

Expected pay($50)= 0.013$(50-5)= $ 0.585

Expected pay($25)= 0.118(25-5)$ = $2.36

Expected pay for anything else= 0.869(0-5)$ =$(-4.347)

Expected value of one play=$ (0.585 + 2.353 -4.347) = -$1.41

c) Do not play the game.
